![]() ![]() It’s nice to push and doesn’t feel too flimsy when folding and unfolding it. The frame definitely doesn’t feel as durable as more expensive models but it didn’t seem really cheap either. Is the frame strong and durable on the Push Me Savanna? I didn’t have any issues changing direction or going around corners. I liked the wheels, they felt strong and smooth and went up and down pavements easily. We used the wheelchair/pram area which was luckily empty, but had another buggy or wheelchair come on, I would have been concerned about space. We took the pram on the bus with the seat unit and it did take up a lot of space. How easy is it to use on public transport? The Push Me Savanna even handled nicely on my gravel drive which was a nice surprise. I am not sure how durable the chassis and wheels will be long term, but I had no problems on different surfaces. It handled as well as my much more expensive Silver Cross pram. I really liked the Savanna to push and steer. How easy is the Push Me Savanna to push and steer? I didn’t find it too difficult to carry the folded chassis in and out of my car boot. The Savanna weighs 13.5kg which is certainly not lightweight, but I did find it manageable. How much does the Push Me Savanna weigh? Is it lightweight? The Savanna’s folded size was definitely a drawback to me. It does, however, fit into the very large boot of my Hyundai Tucson, with the seat unit too. Unfortunately, I can’t fit the frame in the boot of my VW Polo. It’s great that there are fewer elements of the travel system to store at home. Having said that, the fold is very handy for storing upright in your home, and I like the fact that the carrycot and seat unit are the same. The Joie Versatrax measures 86cm x 65.5cm x 36cm folded, as a comparison. ![]() This means it folds quite flat, but is still wide, so tricky to fit in a small boot. The Red Kite Savanna’s folded dimensions are 39cm x 66cm x 91cm. As a comparison, the Wayfarer is 100cm–107cm x 53.5cm x 94cm, and the Joie Versatrax is 92cm x 65.5cm x 12cm, so quite similar. The Red Kite Savanna’s unfolded dimensions are 90cm x 64cm x 103cm. How compact is the Push Me Savanna when folded and unfolded? I was really impressed with the folding mechanism – it was just as easy as folding the frame of my Silver Cross, I was very impressed. Push the handle towards the rear wheels and the locking catch will engage automatically.Then pull both secondary levers and lower the handle towards the ground to collapse the chassis.You then fold the frame by releasing the primary lock button on the right-hand side of the frame.Both the seat and the car seat are easy to remove from the frame by pushing in the two smaller buttons on both sides of the seat and lifting it out.To fold the Push Me Savanna, you need to remove the seat or carseat first. It can be used for children up to 15kg, so approximately 3 years old, although one of the judges for our MFM Awards 2020 found the seat a bit too snug for a large toddler. The pram is suitable from newborn as the seat converts into a lie-flat carrycot, which is really practical. Similar products in the same price bracket of the Savanna include the Joie Versatrax (£300), the Billie Faiers MB400 Bronze and Sage Melange Pushchair (£299.99) or the Baby Elegance Venti 2-in-1 Pushchair by Rosie C in Grey (£319.99) What age is it suitable for, can it be used from newborn? However, both the Wayfarer and the Vista are much more expensive (both are around £800), so you it’s hard to compare them as like for like with the Savanna. I bought my Wayfarer second hand and it still feels as good as new, despite taking the battering of day-to-day use. I have the Silver Cross Wayfarer (£675.51 on Amazon) which feels superior in terms of quality and style, as does the UPPAbaby Vista which I’ve also tried. How does it compare to other travel systems you have tried? I also liked the fact that the package included the carseat, as with some travel systems you pay extra for it. However, I was impressed with the chassis, it seemed strong and sturdy. While the zebra print is fun, it’s not to my taste and the fabric felt synthetic and looks cheap. ![]() I must admit, my first impressions weren’t great.
