MB/P&T's Face to Face seat

[Kaylee31]

Epic fail, IMO. I knew the seat would be small-- but not as tiny as it turned out to be. It's super narrow. My DD looked squished and uncomfortable in it. She is 6 mo. and chunky, but only in the 30th percentile for height & weight (about 24", 15 lbs.) The weight limit of the seat is ~20 lbs (says 19 on the box)., but I don't see how an infant of that size would be comfortable in it. I only tried it only in deck chair mode, because I could tell right off the bat that I didn't like it & it was too small. There is no cushion or padding whatsoever. There are metal bars on each side, covered only by the thin fabric. Not good if a child accidentally knocked their head on it. I don't think this thing is going to be very popular, just thought I'd add my $.02 in case anyone was considering one. Hopefully MB/P&T will improve upon it in the future; making it bigger and adding recline positions! Great idea, poor execution.

Not a happy camper.

No cushion or padding over the bars.

oh no, thats disappointing! It does look really narrow and not comfy at all. Hope they rework it too. What are you going to use, are you returning it?

Wow, that's small. My DS was bigger than your DD is now at 2 months. That's not much longevity!

But I love your DD's review. :) She is so cute.

Yep, I'm returning it. I still have my Queen B, which I love. It's just large & I was hoping to downsize a bit (have 4 ATs at the moment). Plus I mostly use it for walks while DS rides his mini kick, and if there is too many turns I have trouble keeping up with him! Great push, fabulous suspension-- but WIDE turning radius.

Thanks MM. :) I was surprised how small the seat was in person. I thought it would be a good option for the next few months but that's not the case. Oh well. There just needs to be more reversible true AT options available in the US, darn it! I wish I had the funds to import an Easywalker June or iCandy Peach.

It would be somewhere in the $800-1000 range to have one of these imported right? And there aren't many reviews available to determine if they are worth the price :-(

It's a shame mountain buggy failed with this endeavour, I often dreamed about making a reversible seat for my MB swift with Frankenstein parts from another stroller, but I am not that handy. So I gave up and bought a Bugaboo donkey, I figured it was about the same as importing the June or the peach jogger, and It would hopefully retain some of its value once we are done strolling. T
I am not sure the same can be said about the others... I don't have any regrets :-)

Thanks for the pics. Disappointed to hear about the tiny seat.

EW june isn't being released until this month. I found this video showing the fold, etc. The putting the canopy behind the seat to fold is kinda weird but I love the way the fold, basket, and recline look.

Definitely a bummer that the face to face seat is so small and uncomfortable.

A bee with air tires... looks so nice. Can't wait to see some real reviews on it.

:yeahthat: I have always like the EW brand. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that they list their strollers as smaller and lighter than they actually are. To the point where I know people who returned them because they were so much larger and heavier than what they were supposed to be. But maybe they will list the weight and measurements accurately on this one. It does look great!
