stroller
Tired of dragging round a massive pushchair, but still
want something comfortable?
Mamas & Papas
have
created the Armadillo with all the main features you
love, but that folds with one hand to a surprisingly
compact size in seconds. The roomy Armadillo reclines
fully and has an adjustable leg rest. It also features a

space for your bag, and is travel-friendly. The stroller
is suitable from birth through to 15kg (approximately
three to four years old) and weighs only 8kg. Buy your
