We are awestruck by the fact that this is so easy to open and close, even if you're in a hurry or have hands full with kids.

During our tests it was easy to steer and navigate cobbles and bumpy roads effortlessly. It was quite robust for a light and compact buggy. The only downside is that the seat doesn't recline. However, considering it's intended to travel it's not a big deal. The handle bar is fixed at quite a high height and wasn't very adjustable, but it was still comfortable for short and tall adults during our test.
