I'm Vicky - I'm now retired Cabin Crew. I'm 35 and full time mum to five! (no time for flying anymore!) My eldest son's are 12 and 10 they are keen actors. I also have a beautiful daughter aged 4, a talented gymnast. Finally, my totally amazing identical twin boys Harry & Sam who are now 10 months but born early. My children are my world. I spend my life- hectic as it is running around after and with them all. We all live with their Daddy in picturesque Vale of Llangollen on the North Wales/ Shropshire border.
Jump to a Month: June 2014
First Impressions:
Harry and Sam were really excited to see the Cosatto Supa Dupa Pixelate
box arrive today -as was mummy! Well packaged in a funky box - the boys
were most intrigued as to what it contained.
I was quite surprised that the box wasn't as heavy as I had expected.
The box contained all the paperwork and instructions to register your 4
year guarantee -this was really clear and easy to follow.
The interior contents were well protected and neatly packaged. I was lucky I had two very busy little helpers to help me unpack!
We managed to assemble the pram really easily - although it was just
attaching the hood. It seems really sturdy and looks impressive and also
well made.
The colours of the pixelate are actually very rich and the pattern is
absolutely stunning, the twins are going to look really smart in their
new wheels.
Can't wait to put it to the test!

We were really excited to try out our new Supa Dupa pram for the first time! We are all off to watch our big sister in her gymnastic display. I was really impressed how easy it was to put the pram down. I thought the foot stopper stands were a really fantastic idea, as it meant we could stand the pram up in our boot without it falling over. We have a really big boot, but the pram was very compacted and pretty light for a double pram. I managed to load it quite easily on my own - which is great.
Harry & Sam were very comfortable and really enjoyed the forward facing position. We had lots of comments from other mummy's about how snazzy the pram was and about how lovely the colours are.
It was a really sunny evening, so we didn't need all the matching cosy toes or rain covers but we packed them just incase! Really easy to manoeuvre and fitted through all the normal doors inside the gym which is good because we usually have to use the emergency exits. It's a really lovely pram and looking forward to our next outing.

We have had a very busy weekend of socialising, sun spotting & shopping. It has been absolutely boiling hot here so we spent the days down the park and at the river. Also walking along the canal. The pram is great and handles really well in & around town and also off road on a track. The pram has been absolutely mega in the hot sun. Harry & Sam are very fair and being out about in a pram with umbrellas that never quite cover both babies is a constant worry for me. The pixel pram with the supa extra - extendable sun hood is an absolute godsend in this heat and has meant we could really enjoy the sun all day! It totally covers both babies & keeps them cool- really well designed and no worries about sunburn.
Also the recline on the seats is really simple & easy to use so we have had plenty of naps! Everywhere we go people comment on the pram and how lovely the colours are. Harry & Sam have eaten ice cream, jam donuts and humous pitta breads but it has cleaned up really easily the fabric is really durable - very impressed.

We have had a really busy week with lots of walks & days out in the
sun. We went to visit a local national trust home and had a long
riverside walk.
I was worried how the cosatto would cope with the 'off road riverside
tracks' which are really steep & not the best. There are lots of
steps which I needed to negotiate. We coped well as the pushchair
isn't to heavy to carry. I'm pleased to say once the wheel lock was on -
which clips the front wheels into a fixed position the supa dupa coped
really well on the riverside tracks & stones.
Harry & Sam spent all day in the pram so the lie flat & different upright positions were all utilised and are really easy to operate from behind the seat. We were out late & it got a bit chilly so we used the cosy toes - Harry & Sam were really warm - they are really stylish too! Very pleased and another successful long day out in the pram.
