Steers well, but that's about it

When I bought this pram in 2009 it was one of the few that had a reversible option (baby either facing you or facing out), plus a bassinette option (for baby to recline lying down) which was the main reason we bought it. It is however, heavy - 14 kilos I believe. I find it really annoying that it is in 2 pieces - you remove the seat, then fold up the base. It takes up a lot of room in the car boot. The main thing I like is the good steering - it steers well over grass, and you can easily steer it with one hand, i.e. if you are holding a drink with one hand, you can still easily push the pram with the other, and not go off-course. If we were buying another pram, these days there are much better all-in-one prams which are lighter and easier to use, for the same price.

love the bassinet feature of this pram. But to swap it from basinette to sitting etc you really need 2 ppls - its hard to do it yourself. Same with lowering the handle bars - it's very hard to do by yourself. it has a small basket underneath aswell.

i mostly chose this pram as it was cheap, converted from as bassinette to a seat and you could have bub facing you or facing out without having a reverse handle which would make it hard to manouvre. also looking at the size folded up to put in the boot even though it does take up a fair amount of room. i can still fit in a huge esky in the back of my old Rav4 as well as the tether strap from the carseat which takes up a bit of room.

this pram doesnt go over dirt or rocks well but when on cement or inside it moves great. it is a lot narrower that a lot of the other prams i have seen. i tend to get a bit stuck on the back wheels though as i judge gaps by the front wheels which are narrower than the back.

at around $350 i think its great value for money when other prams we looked at were $500-$1500. it also came with a leg cover thing, rain cover and sun shade thing.

the basket is hard to put anything in when using the bassinet but when sitting up i can fit heaps in there. there is a little zippered pocket on the hood but no drinks holder or any other storage space.

you cant add a toddler seat but im hoping if need be i can add one of those stand thingos.

I am not the biggest fan of this pram.

The two piece system is annoying and takes up ALOT of room in the boot.
The fabric has holes in places after only 8 months and the buttons never stay in place.
The basket is TINY and there is now way you can fit anything in it if you have the pram in the bassinet position.

I do like that you can have your baby facing you and the bassinet is good for the early days, but it is unattractive and the whole thing would be much better with a reversible handle.

You can't add a toddler seat on so this pram is only good for one baby, if it lasts that long!

I saw this pram a couple of years before even trying to conceive my first baby. When the time came to look at a pram for real i didnt hesitate in purchasing the Love and Care Adiva Sport.

Feature i liked other than the look of it was the fact that the seat converts into a bassinet, no need for another attachment. The seat also has 3 positions (lying down, sitting up a bit or sitting up alot). When my baby was sitting but under 12 months i would have him in the 2nd position and as he got older was able to sit him forward more.

also like that it comes with fly net, boot cover and storm cover as well as UV visor.

The pram can be a little wide when getting through checkouts at the shops but generally doesnt get stuck. If you have a small car this is not a pram for you as it takes up most of the boot as it folds up into two seperate pieces.

All in all i love this pram and would buy it again if needed

We wanted a sturdy pram with good wheels and were about to buy a three-wheeler when we saw the Love N Care Adiva Sport.

So glad we bought it. It appealled to me because when it converted into a stroller there was more room for the baby  to put their legs down. The three wheelers seemed to have less room for this because the front wheel is in the way.

The other reason i liked this pram was that it converted easily from a bassinette - like a real old-fashioned pram, not just a reclining stroller - to a seat. You can even convert it when bub is in it! They go to sleep and you can make it a bassinette again!

And the best bit is that you can have bub forward or rear-facing, in whichever mode the pram is in.

Only downside it that it isn't compact when folded. You need to break into two pieces and fold the frame then store the seat. This isn't hard to do but it does take up a bit of room in the boot of the car. 

The Adiva Sport also comes with heaps of accessories - rain cover, boot cover, shade cover and is great off-road.

It is so easy to manouevre that sometimes I let my eight-month-old baby push the stroller while i hold him and I only have to turn his body slightly and the whole pram moves. Has a great turning circle!

i did a lot of research before selecting this pram and i am so pleased that i did. it's not the most attractive pram on the market but it performs brilliantly. i had my baby during winter and so the boot cover was great to keep him nice and warm on our daily walks. i love that it's a bassinet and normal seat in one. our little one had a bit of reflux early on so i loved that we could tilt the bassinet so that he was elevated and not flat. its really easy to maneuver and fold. well priced, compared to some prams on the market, and comes with the sun shade and rain cover, which is good.

Best pram ever

this pram is absolutely fantastic.  It is so easy to use and I LOVE the fact that you can put your baby in it either facing you or facing outwards AND they can be sitting in the toddler seat while your out and about.  Once they look like they want a nap, all you have to do is unclip a strap and it automatically converts to a basinette. Without having to take them out of the pram! I initially bought a pram when my baby was born that had basinette and toddler seat but were seperate and you could only have one or the other at any one time. I spent almost $1500 on that pram and finally got rid of it because my boy liked to sleep on his tummy and I wanted one where he could sit up in a seat and still be able to sleep on his tummy. The adiva sport was so cheap, about $300 and I would say 300x better than any pram you could buy.  So easy to manoevre, comes with all the accessories you need - raincover, shane cover, foot muff etc.

Anyone who buys this pram will not be disapointed thats for sure!

this pram is the most maneuvreable and easy to use pram I've found (baby in one arm and moving the pram with the other). The fact the bassinett converts to a seat is great as you don't need extra  storage and you can adjust the strap behind the backrest to make it flat with the top edge of the pram (thus my 20 month old is quite comfortable and falls asleep in the pram regularly!) The basket is large and easy to access. The angled handlebar is great for short people like myself (vs the pull in and out handlebar which is more uncomfortable for the wrist) and it's so sturdy- I've taken it for walks in all terrains and my son has always been comfortable and the pram still looks solid. However, the fabric has worn after 20 months of use and  one of the studs have actually torn out (but then again, I was very rough with the pram) the included rain cover and boot cover is fantastic as it ensures the baby is covered in all weather conditions.It does take up quite a bit of room in the boot (about half the boot) but is easy to collapse, but you definitely need two hands to do it. The central foot brake is great as well as it's quite easy to use and very solid. It also has an included mattress for the bassinett portion so it's like a bed! 

Generally, a great sturdy pram that's fantastic value for money.

Easy to manouvere
Guest's comments about Adiva Sport

I would highly recommend this pram which I bought as I found it the easiest to manouvere and reasonably lightweight. Orignally I planned to buy a 3 wheeler but after trying the Adiva Sport I changed my mind. This pram has been great, 9 months in it has converted beautifully from suiting a newborn with great basinette feature to a stroller style pram for my now 9 month old. the best feature is the reversible position of the basinette/chair and various elevations. The bassinette could do with being longer and a little extra length on handle would be good for my husband who is 6'4.

Very happy with this pram

This pram is extremely manoeverable - one handed in tight shops with a basket in the other. The bassinette converts to a seat once the baby is old enough and the seat and bassinette can be turned to face away or towards you. The seat does not lay flat but tilts back so that baby can sleep.



The seat lifts off and the frame collapes easily. I find this to be a great feature as it is easier to lift into the boot in two parts but it does take up a fair bit of room. The pram comes with a boot cover so in winter the baby is virtually completely covered and the sun shade works well. I bought an additional UV cover (one made for the bugaboo but fits fine) so I don't have to use the boot cover in summer.



We were seriously considering buying the bugaboo before getting this pram but the Adiva Sport is less than 1/3 the price of the bugaboo and about the only real differences are that there is no suspension on the small wheels and with the Adiva you cannot reverse the handlebars to lead with the big wheels. I am glad that we did not spend the huge dollars on the bugaboo, this pram is just about as good and has all the features I want.

Our third pram: Adiva Spo

I love this pram, it being my third so far (baby is eight months) I love that we can easily make the seat into a bassinet while baby is asleep in the pram!) The only problem seems to be that baby is nearly as long as the bassinet now. Could have done with being a bit longer.
