Mutsy 4 Rider Light Baby Stroller - Is it Worth Buying? (Pushchair Review)

The Mutsy 4 Rider is an extremely versatile pushchair that, if bought with the necessary kits, can function as a stroller, pram, and travel system. But is it a suitable pushchair for you? I've tested it and here's my verdict!

Pros

One of the things that's really great about the Mutsy is that it's so easy to push and manoeuvre, so it's great to use when you're in the city. Because of the rear pneumatic wheels and lockable swivel wheels at the front, it's great on rural areas, too. Some users often said that they can easily push and steer this Mutsy with one hand. It also performs well on stairs in fact, it's one of the easiest pushchairs to pull/push when going up/down stairs, making it perfect for those who live in flats.

A common problem for tall people is that many pushchair models seem to have been made for shorter people only. If this is your sentiment, you'll be glad to know that the 4 Rider has been designed with tall people in mind. The Mutsy's foam-covered handles adjust from 93 to 114 cm at a single click of a button - rather handy when there's a big difference between your height and your partner's, making the 4 Rider easy to push for either of you.

The storage basket is quite spacious and easy to reach and will remain accessible even when the seat is in full recline position.

For your comfort, the fabric is very easy to clean with a wet sponge, unlike some pushchair fabrics that stain horribly. The stroller is easy to fold and unfold, and it's self locking and free standing when folded.

It's got a reversible seat, and it's suitable for newborns as the seat can lay almost completely flat, but as we mentioned earlier you can attach the Mutsy carry cot to the chassis and there you have a pram. Parents we spoke to love using the carry cot with a matching Mutsy footmuff!

Cons

The folded dimensions of the Mutsy 4 Rider Light is 35 x 66 x 109 cm which is rather bulky. It can fit in the boot of a medium sized car, but leaving not much room for anything else.

It's also rather awkward to lift because it's relatively heavy (31 lbs), but of course this depends on a person's fitness. Some parents find it moderately heavy while others appreciate its weight as it gives the pushchair a more sturdy handling.

Finally, the seat recline is a bit fiddly to adjust if you use only one hand, so when you don't have both hands free, (which is often the case especially if you have more than one child) you may find this rather inconvenient.

Conclusion

The Mutsy 4 Rider Light is an excellent choice for fashion-conscious parents looking for a pushchair that embodies both looks and functionality, both design and practicality. Its extreme versatility, the quality of the comfort it brings, and its top notch performance on rough terrains make it a great Best Buy Travel System.
