The Mamas & Papas Flip XT 3 has been updated in this third generation of the British nursery brand's popular pushchair. If you're choosing this travel system, look out for a chrome-finished chassis (which is also available in a stylish rose gold), redesigned wheels and a reinforced hood visor to shield your baby from harmful UV rays, alongside the carrycot and car seat you can purchase separately.
