7.0 HIP
This is the best score a product in this category can reach when the maker shares full data about
its materials, supply chain, repairs, and end-of-life. It is a target, not a product on sale today.

Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
8.5
Why this score ▸
The product relies on abundant materials (aluminium, steel, cotton, rubber, polypropylene) with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. It achieves a high score due to 58% recycled content and diverse supply chains across the EU, India, and Sri Lanka, avoiding single-country concentration risks.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The pushchair's supply chain is geographically diversified across four stable jurisdictions (EU, UK, India, Sri Lanka) with an OECD due-diligence framework in place and a verified alternative supplier. However, the lack of third-party audit verification for the specific material origins (likely steel, plastics, and aluminum) and the absence of explicit confirmation that no EU Critical Raw Materials are used limits the score to the moderate risk range.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The pushchair features a modular design with tool-free disassembly and a verified take-back scheme, enabling high material recovery. With 78% of the product weight entering practical recycling streams and compliant labelling, it meets the criteria for a well-designed product for recovery, falling just short of the 80% threshold required for the highest circularity tier.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The pushchair features tool-free clips and a 10-year spare parts commitment with a public service manual, meeting the criteria for 'Designed for Repair'. Although it is not within EU Ecodesign scope, the explicit 10-year parts guarantee and documentation place it in the 7-8 range, approaching exemplary status.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product scores highly due to manufacturing in the UK, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour enforcement, combined with a completed RBA audit and multiple environmental certifications including ISO 14001, GOTS, and ASI. While the manufacturer claims ILO compliance, the presence of the verified RBA audit and robust environmental standards justifies a score in the 'Verified Good Practice' range.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product achieves an Above Average Lifespan score due to a 5-year warranty and a stated design life of 10 years, which aligns with the premium appliance benchmark. The inclusion of a modular design further supports long-term repairability and extends the product's usable life beyond standard mass-market norms.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-2.0
Why this score ▸
The product scores in the Extractive band (-5 to -1) due to 58% recycled content combined with a verified take-back and closed-loop programme. Not Depleting because recycled content is >= 50% with a verified take-back scheme, which elevates the score above the -7 floor. While FSC-certified rubber and GOTS organic cotton are present, the absence of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) inputs prevents a shift to the Restorative or Regenerative bands.
MSI 20% · SCR 18% · RC 18% · R 13% · SEI 8% · PL 8% · RI 15% = 100%
About the HIP Methodology ▸
Starting scores are low on purpose. We only count what we can confirm from public data,
so most products sit between 2 and 4 out of 10 before a maker shares their own evidence.
That gap between the starting score and what a product could reach is the whole point.
When a maker proves what their product is really made of, the score goes up.
The HIP Mark shows it has been checked.

Consumer Summary
This pushchair earns a HIP Score of 7.0 out of 10, indicating a solid performance in durability and repairability with a 10-year design life and easy disassembly. Its Regenerative Index is -2.0, reflecting a strong start with 58% recycled content and a verified take-back scheme that supports material recovery. Overall, it is a well-built travel system designed to last and return materials to the cycle effectively.
What This Means For You
When buying a baby travel system, look for products with long warranties and clear instructions for repair or disassembly to ensure they last through multiple children. Prioritize items that use recycled materials and offer a take-back program, as these features help close the loop on waste. Avoid pushchairs that are difficult to fix or lack a plan for what happens to the product at the end of its life.
