If you’re looking for a pram that is a compact convertible, which will transport your baby in a swish set of wheels, from newborn through to toddlerhood – the Rverse XLR may be your vehicle. Even the name sounds sporty!

The bebe care Rverse XLR has a bassinet which converts to a fully reclinable seat by simply adjusting or loosening a strap. Plus rearward or forward facing seating options – the combinations are endless. Since it consists of two main elements, the frame with wheels and the bassinet/seat, it folds down compactly to a flat fold.

While test driving this pram, I’ve noticed the wheel suspension is fantastic and the pram provides a really smooth ride for Baby. The maneavourability is great with a full swivel on the wheels. The wheels are fully lockable, with cable linked rear brakes and a seperate release pedal. The adjustable foam handle means the pram can be driven by parents of different heights with ease.

While behind the wheel, it’s easy to check what Baby is doing, with a viewing window on the large extendable hood. You can rest assured that Baby is safely enjoying the smooth ride in the 5 point safety harness. Harness protectors are included for extra comfort too.

The Rverse XLR is a comfort mobile, with my little one falling  asleep 5 times out of 10 when taking her shopping in this pram. Whilst she sleeps, I can fill the shopping basket at the base of the pram with all my purchases – especially given the generous weight limit of 5kg for the shopping basket. With side and front access to the shopping basket, I can be sure not to disturb her blissful sleep (and my shopping expedition)! When it’s time to go home I know there is plenty of room in the boot for my compact convertible and all the shopping.

Next month I’m expecting my second baby and I’m quite excited the Rverse XLR will accommodate both my Newborn and Toddler. The Rverse XLR is compatible with popular brands of baby capsules, including the Maxi Cosi range of capsules and the Britax: Hipod, Unity, Strider, Orion and Cruiser capsules. The transition of my newborn baby in her car capsule to her pram will be seamless. The Rverse XLR includes ride on board clips for the Lascal Buggy Board. I can already envisage my toddler riding on the buggy board demonstrating her physical prowess to her newborn sister in her capsule. The Luscal Buggy Board is sold seperately, so I promise pictures and a full review of the buggy board in an upcoming post.

The bebe care Rverse XLR can also take a Toddler Seat too! Accessories such as the Adaptors for the Baby Capsule, Adaptors for the Toddler Seat and Toddler Seat itself are available for purchase separately. More information about the full range of bebe care products, Rverse XLR and Accessories, can be found on the CNP Brands website.
