The Edwards & Co Olive is a smart, stylish four-wheel pram that’s ready to roll from newborn to toddlerhood. What makes it special?

The full-size seats are super comfy and supportive for little ones, and suitable from day one with the Newborn Insert Cushion. Plus, there’s a huge 10kg basket underneath, perfect for nappy bags, snacks, and all the random bits babies seem to need. When you’re done, it folds down nice and compact, making it easy to chuck in the boot or stash away at home.
Mums and dads love how light it is (just 12.7kg in single mode) and how easy it is to steer one-handed, handy when you’ve got a coffee in the other hand or you’re wrangling a toddler. It’s also got adjustable seat height options and works with the Carry Cot 2 and selected capsules, so you’re sorted from the newborn days right through to the “I want to walk!” stage.
