I loved the size of the pushchair as it was perfect for our small car; however, in reality, it is an overpriced piece of plastic. It is smaller in size than the standard pushchair which mean our baby... See more
The quality is substandard. This pushchair broke after only a few months of use with new baby. The wheels are weak and broke off from the chassis while in use with our baby on board. In my view it is... See more

Honestly so impressed with Ark Best…
Honestly so impressed with Ark Best Starts Bliss Canopy product.
I have never got on with parasols as a find them fiddly and I have to keep moving them to keep baby shaded.
This Bliss Canopy has been brilliant for keeping the sun off of my little one as well as allowing airflow into the pram. It has made going out for walks and picnics much more relaxing knowing that my baby is protected.
The quality of the product is amazing, it feels very premium and is really easy to fit onto both my Joolz Day 3 travel system and my Mama and Papas Acro Stroller, takes a mater of seconds to put on and take off. The window in the canopy is a lovely feature as it allows baby to still take in all the views while staying staying safe in the sun.
10/10 for this company!
Bought ark baby bliss canopy
Bought ark baby bliss canopy. Really happy with my product. Ticks all the boxes for me . Great customer service too .
An amazing design!!
I absolutely adore my canopy! I never thought of getting anything like this for the pram but it’s been a total life saver while I’ve been away at the seaside. Very happy with you calm my baby was with it to! 5 star! High recommend!!!!
Going the Extra Mile!!!
My mother bought the basic pram from John Lewis... we hadn’t realised the pack wasn’t included on the grey. I emailed Ark on a Sunday and explained I thought some of pram was missing.
Hannah on a sunny Sunday with her family called for help and advice! What an amazing amazing service! We are yet to get any reply from John Lewis but I was so impressed by the ease of the “building “product and manoeuvrability. Because I got a reply so instantly we were able to get the rest of the pram this morning ! I have nannied and maternity nursed for 30 years. I will definitely be recommending to mums and maternity nurses and nannies alike. This was a present for my goddaughter ..... she absolutely loves it too! Thank you so so much for going the extra mile. I LOVE and always try to support family run firms.
For a system with both style and function, the Ark comes out on top
Shopping for all of the essentials for your newborn baby can seem like a daunting task with so much choice on the market, but the Ark travel system immediately stood out for us.
The honeycomb wheel design not only looks great but gives the most comfortable ride for our baby boy - he often drifts off straight to sleep as soon as we’re on the move! The pram has great manoeuvrability so navigating tight angles/spaces is no trouble whatsoever.
With 101 things to worry about as a new parent we have been so grateful for all of the climate control features the Ark offers. We can easily check if our baby is snug enough (but not too snug!) with the inbuilt temperature gauge.
The system is super easy to assemble and fold away, even whilst juggling baby/shopping etc! And the option of adaptors to fit a car seat on to the pram base means you needn’t worry about waking your sleeping babe after a car journey. And let’s face it, as a sleep deprived new parent we’ll take all the peace we can get!
For a travel system with both style and function, the Ark definitely comes out on top.

Good All-rounder!
As a tall guy there are few buggies that I can push without feeling like I am stooping. The Ark is one of the few that extends enough to allow me to walk upright and it has great manoeuvrability. It is light weight make it easy to push and simple to fold and stow in the car, with some innovative design.

Super Cosy - Great Hybrid Buggy
First and foremost it is really (really) cozy all round. We always want use natural materials for baby equipment e.g. cotton, so that makes the ARK an obvious choice... plus we love the snuggle bag.
Design wise it's a bit of a hybrid between off-road and city styles, and while there are always compromises it means we only need one buggy which is useful. It goes pretty flat, but what really helps is that it collapses with the seat on making it super quick. We also like the fact that it looks sleek with no big shouty logos, but that is personal preference.
All in all we're really happy with this ride for our baby.
p.s. The wheels look awesome and their springy design takes bumps really well.
Great pushchair
I really like this pushchair, it’s really easy to use and narrow enough to get through tighter spaces. It’s quite lightweight too and really easy to fold away one handed, which is handy as can fold it away when holding my baby with no problem at all. It fits easily in my small Corsa as well. Would definitely recommend.
Great buggy for urban use with lovely attention to detail on design features
We really like using the Ark on a daily basis for our 13 month old. He seems very happy in the buggy- one of the noticeable design features of the Ark is that baby is higher up and closer to the parent than with other makes. He's warm and snug and the straps feel comfortable and secure.
The Ark buggy has a really good-sized shopping basket underneath to easily fit a large amount of shopping and is very handy on the school run for our three older children's coats, school bags etc.
The raincover is practical but very lightweight so doesn't take up much room in the basket when it's not needed.
The Ark is really easy to maneuver and is easy to steer one-handed when holding a toddler's hand or pulling a scooter along with the other.
The frame is lightweight and really easy to fold and store in the car or at home. The hood has great coverage and you can move smoothly between the different buggy positions for nap time etc.
Friends have commented on the sleekness of the design and also the handle height- I'm 5'3" so have the handle on the lowest setting but others have commented it would be great for taller parents as the handle can be raised to a good height.
We'd recommend this buggy for daily, round-the-town use- the wheels struggle a bit on more uneven surfaces but are very smooth otherwise.

This buggy goes the extra mile.
I have 4 small children and have owned most buggy brands. I LOVE the one handed folding feature on the Ark. It makes the hardest thing about buggies a real joy!
The wool mattress in the carry cot is a really smart feature as with other buggies I've had to use a separate lambswool to keep my little ones warm or cool depending on the season.
Its also a relief to have the wheels that don't require tubes or puncture repairs. Its a small thing but the handle grips have always been the first things to wear out and tear on my other buggies and they are hard to replace; it's early days but the quality of the Ark handle fills me with confidence that it will last as long as the buggy does.
The ride is smooth enough for town use and if you're willing to pay a little more for quality materials and an intelligent design, you won't be disappointed by this buggy.

This is a really great pushchair
I really love this pushchair. It is very lightweight which is great for when I need to load it in and out of the car. I can even do it one handed with my 2 month old in my arms!
It is narrower than a lot of the other pushchairs we looked at which is good when I am shopping or trying to squeeze into a cafe with my dog and baby! I also really like the look of it and the mattress feels like it would be super comfy for my wee one. Would really recommend this pushchair to any new mums.

Great pushchair - super easy to use
We've been using the Ark for a couple of months now and are very happy with it. Our 16 month old seems to enjoy the ride, both forward and reverse facing. The extra height of the seat makes it easy to interact with her when we are out and about.
The handle extends further than other pushchairs we have used, which my 6ft+ husband finds significantly more comfortable. The extending mechanism is also pleasingly slick and effortless to operate. The pushchair is responsive and easy to steer which is useful on the school run on the not-so-smooth pavements nearby.
One of our favourite features is how straightforward it is to fold and unfold when putting it in to the car. We've even mastered doing this onehanded, which is always useful!
The pushchair has some really nice finishing touches, like the viewing flap in the hood that allows quick access to check in on your child whilst facing away from you; magnets in the material hold this shut when not in use. The manufacturing standard is also pleasingly high, featuring easy to clean, breathable materials. The raincover fits well and has kept our little one dry in the recent stormy weather.
Having used several different brands of pushchairs for our three children we feel confident in saying that the Ark definitely ranks amongst the best for ease of use, parent and child comfort and compact folding capability.

I instantly felt close and bonded to my baby
The Ark has many elements i feel I want in a pram, not only did I find out it was designed locally in Cheltenham where I live, but i love the height of it, I instantly felt close and bonded to my baby. (Even more)
Love that it’s easy to use one handed (perfect for walking the dog). Turns and moves easily. It’s compact and narrow making so much nicer/easier to get in and out of the house and round shops. The pocket on the shopping basket is super handy and safe for your purse etc!
Adore the messy bag! Good size! Could have two?! Nappy and one food? Or is that being greedy? Great quality handle, feels like it would wear nicely and good grip which you need in the rain. Handy break. Window on the hood, fab, nice and easy to use. No noise so won’t wake the child. Easy access to storage! Which is ideal, no one wants to faff for something when you have a crying or hungry child!
Overall I really love the Ark pram, the fabrics are amazing, all the element that touch my babies skin are super soft. I find the pram easy to use, collapsing for the car and putting it back together not problem.
I feel my baby is very secure and safe in the pram and super snug and cosy at the same time!
