I bought one of these a couple of months ago in the argos sale (at £75, original price £110 ish) and it's fab. Really light, very easy to push single handed, though a bit bulky when collapsed for taking in the car. I've just noticed that they are now only £38....an absolute bargain!!!! grab one now if you need one!

I read the reviews for it and was a bit put off but bought it anyway. I have to say that some of the reviews are right....it is quite wide (though goes easily through my front door) and is quite (?very) bulky when collapsed, but I find it sooooo easy to push. It is really lightweight and easy to steer. You have to be a little careful when negotiating kerbs, but this is because it is a 3 wheeler and you always have that slightly unbalanced feeling when manouvring the back wheels up the kerb. I use mine for the school runs mainly which is only a short distance (400m) but quite a steep hill and I can easily manage to push it one handed whilst holding reins/hands of 2 toddlers.
In the reviews someone commented that it was awkward in shops due to its size...it can be, but it depends on the shops. It is definitely awkward in shops that cram everything together and put extras in the aisles and when a disabled person would struggle to get round.
It is great for bumping up and down steps, particularly those awkward steps you get with a lip that small wheels on buggies get trapped under.
All in all I am very very pleased with my mamu. I thought it was a bargain when I paid £75 so good luck to everyone who benefits from the even better price available now.
In case anyone is interested I found out about the good price on this website

I've been put off buying that one because of the reviews. However, there is a Cosatto Venture 3 wheel buggy in Argos as well for the same price and the reviews for that one seem to be much better, so going to buy that this afternoon.

Having just been and looked at mine I think they would be classed as loose. The shoulder straps are attached at the back to the waist straps that go through D rings at the side. I have to say that I haven't noticed any problem with the straps being like that. I assume it may be to do with children being able to lean forwards slightly more than with shoulder straps that attach directly to the pushchair, but that would also be governed to some degree by how tightly you have the straps adjusted to fit the child.

I went to Argos this afternoon and bought the Cosatto Venture buggy. It said it was khaki online, wasn't sure about the colour. When I got it home and took it out of the box it was red.:clapping: :clapping:

Put it together and mindee wanted to get in it straight away. It seems lovely to push and the seat is wider so I am hoping other mindee will sleep a bit better in it. (He doesn't sleep anywhere else and Mum puts him in buggy to sleep)

Now I've got to convince hubby I really needed it!!!

Fantastic, I hope there are still some left when I get paid on Tuesday.
I have been hunting for a decent single buggy that won't break the bank and this seems just the ticket.:thumbsup:
