Mothercare brand pushchairs: my3 or my4 reviews/feedback on the MyChoice line?

Has anyone recently bought the latest models of the Mothercare my3 or my4 MyChoice pushchairs and got any reviews on it?
I like the fact that the same seat can become a bassinet and then later fold to become a proper seat for when the baby wants to sit up and see the world, instead of having a separate bassinet attachment that would become redundant when baby is 4-5 months.
I also like that it is adaptable to the Maxi Cosi isofix car seats (CabrioFix or Pebble) and can be parent facing or front facing.
The reviews online are mostly good with some negative ones, so I'm wondering if anyone in Dubai has bought these and what they thought?

I have the my3 which i got 2nd Hand in the UK(paid less than a 3rd of the price)as i delivered there. I loved the pushchair when i was over there as everywhere you go is designed for pushchairs and wheelchairs however here is another story. I find its so big to even get around most shops,get through doors and even sit in a coffee shop without people bashing me or squeezing through. Its very easy to plonk the chair/bed on the wheels and even to put the wheels down is easy enough however i find its still a mission taking it all out of the car and putting it together that ive actually just ordered the Maclaren XLR for my mum to bring over next week. I have a huge 4x4(VW Touareg)and still find that it takes up all the space in the boot, so much so that i havent found a way of placing it so that i can put the shopping in aswell. Im finding that i have to triple handle everything to do the weekly food shop!! The shopping basket is good for nothing really as its very small and to fold the wheels fully it has to be completely empty. I did buy the handle hooks and it can take alot of weight before i think it will tip up. After all these negatives,it does move very easily, so much so that i can push that and a supermarket trolley full of food at the same time which has to be a bonus if your minus a maid! I do love how it looks and have had so many comments about it, i was very excited to even use it as a chair in a few months but i feel in this heat and humidity i needed a "one foot" open and close buggy style pushchair more. Sorry if i put you off completely,maybe after trying this Maclaren i might even change my mind and believe its not as hard as i thought, i dont know, but i'll post back. If i do get along ok with my new one your more than welcome to borrow mine for a trial before you pay out for something your not going to get on with. Im also in Abu Dhabi which has it fair share of high curbs and very few ramps, Dubai(if thats where you are)might be different and more managable. Hope this helps x x
