Coming Soon: Mylo Travel System by Mamas and Papas
September 25, 2009 by Natalie · 12 Comments
A few nursery industry peeps I know that were out in Cologne for the recent Kid + Jugend trade fair were supremely impressed with Mamas and Papas launch at the show – the Mylo travel system. I think Kat said it best when she said it looks like a Bugaboo Bee/Stokke Xplory hybrid, which is interesting as the Mylo is the result of three years of research where during that time these were the two pushchairs that really shook things up. I would add one more pushchair to the hybrid combo – the Concord Neo Carbon which is super sleek and made from carbon used by the aerospace industry.
I’m fascinated by the idea of it having a light touch response which is comparable with power steering in a car and it has a button that quickly folds it down. It’s made from high performance materials to give it the sleek look and lightweight feel, although I always reserve judgement on the weight as we know that pushchair manufacturers have different perceptions of ‘lightweight’…
A full travel system compatible with their Viaggo car seat, it can be used as a stationary seat or as a bassinet and has other clever features such as having the pram apron fasten with magnets. Mamas and Papas have ‘limited’ information on their site but you can register your interest. It’s also available in four other colours – raspberry ripple, dove grey, plum pudding, and sandcastle. How much? Around £1k all in. Is this set to be the next ‘must-have’ pushchair?
Ideal for: Design and style fiends, trendsetters, show offs, and Mamas and Papas addicts…

It does look a bit like a Stokke, which I have and just love. Only thing I will say is that mamas and papas car seat is just too heavy in comparison to maxi cosi so stokke still wins it for me.
I agree with you on the car seat – mind you my experience of weight descriptions for travel systems is that they rarely factor in the weight of the car seat. Stokke Xplory’s are beautiful. Had I not had a second so soon, I would definitely have one.
Mylo goes with the Cybex Aton car seat too which is the same weight as maxi Cosi, and in matching colours. I was in at Kind and Jugend show and Germany and fell in love with it. The fold is genius! I’m on the waiting list for one already.
you will be able to use a maxi cosi with the new mylo! thats why im contemplatin if to get it or not, but do you reckon its got a shopping basket underneath? cos it doesnt look like it in the pics!
I can’t imagine a pushchair without one! I shall do some digging and get the down low
Update: yes there is and I have pics which I shall post
ooh great i’d love to see pics
Just got an email through from Mamas & Papas showing a new video…looks ace!!! Love the style of it, that fold looks so handy, especially if you have a baby in one arm. Cant wait to see this in the stores…..still not sure when its available.

Mamas & Papas have just posted this magazine article on Mylo and the lady who designed it. Nice to see a lady creating a pushchair for us mums!

Gwen Stefani has just been spotted with Mylo.
Supposedly the waiting list looks like a who’s who of Hollywood.
Thanks for sharing. This has certainly been a hotly anticipated arrival! Let’s hope that it *finally* comes out very soon! Gwen is a long time fan of M&P. I’m sure she had a custom pramette before.
We have got an early launch mylo and are using it. its amazing. the fold is brilliant. the design very sleek and functionality moves the game on massively.
you can NOW order the mylo on the mamas and papas website, but it states three month lead time.
if anyone has any questions on the product let me know
As expected, Gwen got her stroller first:
