## Rated 4.4 out of 5
MadeForMums scored the Inglesina Quid³ 4.4 overall, with child comfort highest at 4.6 and style lowest at 4.1.
## Tested for real
Jake Wilson and his partner used it with their 7-month-old across London pavements, cobbles, grass, beach walks, trains, buses and two trips abroad.
## Premium compact bracket
At £349 it sits beside the Bugaboo Butterfly 2, UPPAbaby MINU V3 and Joolz Aer2, while coming in lighter and cheaper than some of them.

> It is lighter and cheaper than some of these rivals
## Out of the box in ten minutes
It arrives almost built. Clip on the wheels and bumper bar, follow the instructions, and you are done in 5 to 10 minutes.
## Two clicks to fold
Press the lock and release buttons on the handlebar, lift the handle, and it folds with a double click. It stands up on its own once locked.
## Empty the basket first
It will not close properly with anything left in the storage basket, which is a daily annoyance on trips out when the basket is usually full.

> which there often is on a day out
## Just over 6kg
The light frame felt far more compact in the living room than their old Ickle Bubba, and folded it slid under a table or into a car boot.
## The shoulder strap earns its keep
Carrying it up and down stairs freed up both arms, which matters when you are also holding a baby and a changing bag.

> fantastic for freeing up valuable arm space
## Nimble on city streets
It steered easily one-handed when lightly packed and handled busy streets well enough to replace their full-size Ickle Bubba Stomp for everyday use.
## Suspension that saves naps
Cobbles, tree roots and uneven paths passed underneath without waking the baby, which is the real test of any travel frame.

> without bothering or waking our baby
## Kerbs take practice
The handle gives less leverage than a bigger buggy and the low basket can catch, so higher kerbs need effort and a bit of technique.
## Weight goes at the back
A full basket made steering a two-handed job. Loading heavier items toward the rear of the storage section fixed most of it.
## Buses and airports
The frame fitted narrow bus aisles that had defeated their previous pram, and it was easy to manage through the airport.
## Gate-checking works
It folded simply at the gate once they knew the mechanism, and crew were happy to take it overhead. The travel bag costs extra.

> the stroller bag does not come with the pram
## A pram-averse baby settled
Separate arm and leg straps made strapping in easier, she felt less constricted than in her old pram, and she loved resting her feet on the bumper bar.
## One strap to recline
A single strap at the back drops the seat to any height, and she napped in it in England and Portugal. Asleep upright, her head flopped forward.
## The mesh window is the star
You can check on a baby who is drifting off without catching her eye, and it moves air on hot days.

> if you know, you know!
## Hood stops at the knees
A zip pulls the canopy forward over the face and upper body, but during a heatwave they needed a muslin or SnoozeShade over her legs.
## Buy it for city life
Worth the money for families in cities and on planes. Rough terrain, high kerbs or a heavy daily load point you to a full-size pram.
## Key takeaway

At £349 the Quid³ earns its price if city life and travel are your default, but a packed basket and high kerbs are where it starts to struggle.
