Mimi Air Buggy Discounts
Finding a buggy that's right for the needs of your child, while also right for your budget, is not always as easy as it could be. Online retailers are offering discount prices on many products, with reductions on the Mimi Air Buggy from specialist retailer Bambino Direct.
We thought we'd take a closer look at the product to see why it's become so popular.
Air Buggy Prices
The first thing that you may notice about this model is that it's around the middle of the range in terms of prices. Although prices will vary depending on which retailer you look at, there's no doubt that this won't be the cheapest option that you'll find, but neither will it be anywhere near to being the most expensive.
As is so often the case, it's really a question of asking whether you're getting the value for money. Don't forget that you can take a look at buggy discount codes and buggy discount vouchers to see whether there are actually lower prices available than those that are usually offered by online retailers.

Mimi Air Buggy Features
Ok, so we've looked at where Mimi have positioned the air buggy within the market place - what features will you be getting for your money?
The whole design concept is clearly aimed at those who want flexibility. Some reviews go so far as to say that it offers more flexibility than any other buggy on the market. Is this true? As far as we've seen, there's no doubt that it does seem to be perfect for many occasions. With a lightweight frame and a swivel wheel it is, crucially, far easier to move than many other alternatives.
There's also quite an array of added extras that many retailers seem to be throwing in as standard with the price. This has the advantage of meaning that you get that bit more for your money - it helps to take the Air Buggy ahead of some of its rivals. In particular, you can expect to receive an all weather kit that is particularly handy.
Indeed, it seems like the manufacturers have taken into account many different weather conditions, including the most extreme. This means that, as well as the sun shade, rain cover and foot warmers, you'll also receive a mosquito net - useful for more exotic locations.
Other extras that are included as standard include a drink holder, stroller mat, wrist strap and basket. A small tyre pump is also useful.
What about colour scheme? There are two basic options when it comes to the frame - you can either opt for black or silver.
You have a wider choice in terms of the material that the main buggy is made up of. There are currently 4 colours to choose from: black, red, orange and a rather funky citrus green. At present, all of these options are available at the same price.
Additional features
The manufacturers are keen to emphasise that the Air Buggy is about far more than simply transporting your child from A to B - it provides a great combination of both comfort and security.
This has been achieved by using a number of additional features, including the all weather accessories that are mentioned above. Your baby will receive the maximum in modern protection, thanks to the integral seat belt system.
The reclining functionality is perfect for changing the angles without needing to remove your baby from his or her seating position. For use at night time, you can also benefit from high visibility protectors.
When you go out shopping, you'll find that it's extremely handy having a lightweight buggy that is easy to turn, thanks to its swivelling front wheel. There's also a basket included with this model, which sits underneath the main body of the Mimi Air Buggy. You can make use of that to hold shopping, meaning that you can keep your hands free, allowing you to concentrate on the safety of your child.
How about cleaning the buggy? Once again, it seems as though the manufacturer has thought of pretty much everything. Both the seat and the associated sun canopy can be removed to allow for cleaning - it's recommended that they are hand-washed.
When the sun canopy is in use you can still keep an eye on your baby, thanks to the inclusion of a small window. There's no doubt that the Mimi Air Buggy is designed to maximise comfort and safety. It's not hard to see why it's become so popular.
