    We love our Oscar, but now our racy red Otto is my go to for around town and trips away as leaves plenty of room in my hatchback. Otto is stylish, compact, lightweight and sturdy. We took it away recently and found it handles well on loose gravel and uneven grass too. The only thing we’ve had to get used to is the smaller storage compartment underneath.We can’t wait for the next time we travel - it’ll make getting through the airport a breeze! I’d highly recommend Otto to anyone looking for a travel stroller or something a little more compact.

    Using the Otto for our newborn has been great. It lies flat making it perfect for our baby girl to nap while we are out walking, at cafes and restaurants, or at friend’s houses without taking up all the space in the car. Bubs sleeps so well in it.I was a bit nervous using the Otto on our gravel driveway and down our road on the grass verge as it has smaller wheels. But, I’m amazed at how well it pushed over grass and gravel down the driveway, so was the hubby. By the end of the driveway baby girl was fast asleep. (Using our older mountain buggy it took getting halfway down the road for her to fall asleep regularly, the Otto was by the end of the driveway every time (so far at least). It has fantastic response while steering, after only using the older mountain buggy in our first few weeks, with a fixed wheel, up and down the road, it was nice to have something so responsive.The only things that I wasn't a fan of was pushing it back on it's rear wheels to get it back into the house or over a bump. As the frame has a lot of flex. The basket can rub on the wheels if more than a couple drink bottles are in it, which will wear through. But you just have to be aware of how much you load in. It's not a massive basket like bigger prams. We would love to be able to purchase slightly larger wheels making it easier to use off road.Aesthetically, I love the look. I like that it's not super bulky, the clean lines, and the pop of colour. We have purchased the rain cover to go with it and is a piece of cake to put on. On chilly days it's great to protect her from the breeze keeping her nice and snug inside. There is nothing over complicated about this stroller.Packing it up is a breeze once you know what you're doing. After you've done it once you’re a pro. Our family is super impressed with how compact it packs down and how easy it is to put in the car with one hand.I went for coffee with my Dad and he was so impressed with how well it steered and got through small gaps.Using the Otto, it doesn't feel like a stroller that folds down to hardly anything. It has a high quality feel to it, which we love. We would highly recommend this to other families with newborns. You can have a high quality product that doesn't take up your entire boot. We are looking forward to using this to travel locally and internationally.I would rate the Otto 5 stars. It's newborn friendly, budget friendly, extremely usable and boot space friendly.

    From the moment I arrived home to see the compact cardboard box of the Otto waiting for me on my front step I was impressed. No extra internal packaging than what was needed (a big plus in these days of environmental pressures!) and the easiest set up ever - I didn't even need to refer to a manual, just clicked in the wheels and we were ready to go!I love the sleek stealth look of the all black model I received and the black leather handle completes the premium feel. Being so light and smooth to push is a big plus seeing as I'm always wrangling my 3yr old on her scooter, and our dog as well as pushing our just turned 1 year old in this pram. For the same reason the one footed brake mechanism is really appreciated too! Ability to easily adjust the back height of the pram into sleeping position with one hand is a real bonus since I'm often carrying the baby already when I'm wanting to adjust it before I put him in. Because I’m often pushing my baby asleep in the Otto I really like the fact that the leg rest extension is padded, as I’ve always felt it was a little harsh this part being cold metal on my previous pram. I’ve found myself taking this pram along with me in the car to the mall where in the past I’d have just carried my 1yr old on my hip – definitely making my life (and my back!) better. I can’t wait till we are able to travel somewhere again, just to get to take my Otto along with me knowing it will be so easy to fit into whatever small space I challenge it to – something my previous pram would have never achieved and thus would’ve been simply left at home.The only thing that could make me appreciate the Otto even more would be an adjustable handle height. I found it was not quite my perfect angle and so when I first started using it it made me walk closer to the pram and so I’d sometimes kick the bottom of the base as I stride it out in a power walk on the streets. However I have now found that I’ve adapted my stride enough for this to no longer happen, so not really a biggie.In short, if you’re looking for a stylish, smooth, compact and comfortable pram that packs down into a shape that barely takes up any space and is light to lift into your boot – you need an Otto!

    I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by all the Otto's features. From the easy fold down and quick snap unfold, to the sturdy frame with super smooth tyres, to the proper lie-flat seat. The Otto really does have it all for a travel stroller! My tall three year old fits in it well and it really does lay properly flat, which is perfect for my newborn! We often go exploring at a building site at the top of our road and the Otto handled all terrains like a pro. From travelling over gravel, to bumpy grass, to the dirt track and up the lips of driveways all with ease! We also explored Butterfly Creek last week which has a range of surfaces that the Otto tyres performed excellently over. Also, easy to push with one hand and you can easily manoeuvre through tight aisles in shops. However when using it with both hands I did need to be careful not to catch my left hand on the plastic fold down clip. Not a major though, just need to grip a little wider. Would love a bigger storage basket too. The Otto packs down perfectly into its travel bag, which leaves the back wheels exposed, so that you can wheel it like a carry on suitcase. Folds down so small it would fit in the overhead locker on a plane easily as well as discreetly placed in the back foot well of a car. It is super stylish and I love the finishing details like the leather look handles, brand tag on the hood and zip pocket. I am super impressed with the Otto and didn't expect to be this impressed. Overall the Otto is great value for money for an excellent travel stroller in a competitive market! Love supporting local!

    My first impression when this stroller arrived on the door step was that the box was far too small to be containing a stroller! Upon opening it we found it was super easy to assemble. The wheels just pop in to place and it is ready to go. It looks stylish and sleek and although little and light feels very sturdy. The handle is thicker than most strollers I have used and I think that gives you the feeling of having more control over it. It is very easy to maneuver and the turning circle on it is very tight which is great for small spaces such as in stores. The lie flat base is great for my 6 week old as I can wrap him up and still keep him snug in the 5 point harness. The harness has one large button to release which is very easy to use one handed. The pram liner might also be a useful feature to have for cleaning purposes and added comfort. It took using it a few times to get the hang of the unique way it collapses but once collapsed it is very small and easy to fit into the boot or backseat of a car. The plus side of it being so small in the boot is that shopping can be loaded beside it and there is no need to lift a longer bigger stroller in and out which is a nice bonus. I am looking forward to being able to use it for travel one day by placing it in the included travel bag as it will be great to be able to use it up to the gate and won’t be an added piece of baggage. There is a small, front access storage basket underneath and a hidden zip behind for smaller items such as wallet or keys.It seems to be a comfortable, smooth ride for my son and although it will work on grass performs better on smoother surfaces making it more of a city stroller. My only minor negative I have to say about it is that it doesn’t feel quite as sturdy pulling it up a step or curb as the wheels and frame give a little when doing so.My overall opinion of the Otto is very high. It is a great little stroller for heading to the shops with and keeping in the car. It is very cleverly designed to make the most of space and functionality. I also use it for local walks and it has no problem keeping up with a very fast 4 year old!

    This pram is absolutely amazing especially for on the go! Can easily compact into the boot of a small hatchback and is easy to unfold. Highly recommend
