Cross Country S4

RRP: £190 Target Price: £170

Weight: 2.89kg Reviewed by: Matthew & Elis Pike A fab carrier with stacks of luxury features, including a mirror in the hip pocket, well-padded straps for both adult and tot, and a soft, washable drool pad decorated with animals which keeps Elis amused. The Cross Country is fairly light and stands solidly: it lacks a kick-stand like the other two have, but it stands by itself and is especially stable when you use the ‘foot cave’ at the base while you load. Its rain cover (optional extra) and sunshade are both effective, if a tad fiddly. And getting Elis into place can also take a while, as there are several straps required to anchor him down. But he’s really comfy once he’s in. The strap settings for the grown-up can also be changed with ease, which is handy for when you switch from one person to another. Best of all, it stays comfy for mile after mile, it’s loved by both us and Elis, and it comes at a reasonable price too. littlelife.com VERDICT: ★★★★★
