Elodie Mondo stroller review - 'the perfect pushchair to take on holiday'
The Elodie Mondo is a compact, lightweight stroller that's perfect for city walks, hopping on public transport and even taking away on holiday If you, like me, have been stressing over how to get your toddler out and about while on holiday, panic not: the Elodie Mondo stroller is here to save the day. This compact, whizzy little stroller is IATA-approved for air travel, meaning it fits into the overhead compartment in most airlines (though always check with your carrier before you book!). It weighs less than 7kg yet can carry up to 22kg, and its fabric is made from 100% recycled PET-bottles. Even its leather-look details are made from vegan leather, making it a great option for environmentally conscious parents. The Elodie Mondo comes in various patterns and colourways - ours is the Desert Rain, a pretty geometric black and white offering that sets off the rose gold frame. We took the Mondo on our first holiday abroad with our 18-month-old daughter to Seville in Spain. She fell asleep within three minutes of being inside the stroller as we gently rolled her over the cobbled streets - giving us a lovely couple of hours to neck an Aperol spritz and some patatas bravas! It was the perfect addition to our luggage. Let's take a look at what you get... Pros of the Elodie Mondo stroller One of the best aspects of the Mondo, which starts from £279, is that it's lightweight - weighing in at just 6.7kg, making it a doddle to manoeuvre up and down steps, lug on and off buses, and bump up kerbs. That makes it a great stroller for city living: it's quick and smooth over pavements, on roads and public transport, and its manoeuvrability means it genuinely can be steered with one hand. It's also incredibly easy to fold, which can be done single-handedly by pushing the button on the handlebar and twisting away with your hand. The stroller collapses inwards on itself then folds into a neat, compact square measuring 54 x 42 x 18cm - ideal for stowing in your car boot, or even in the luggage unit of a busy bus. And when you're out and about over nap time, the strap at the back quickly releases to recline the backrest to almost horizontal, while the 'paparazzi' canopy can be unzipped to bring the hood right down. It means little ones can enjoy a comfortable, smooth ride out of the sun - the hood's fabric is UPF 50+ to protect delicate skin. The Mondo is very easy to set up, with wheels that click into place and can be removed quickly. We also loved the large storage basket underneath, which is ideal for carting home any essentials from the shops. Cons of the Elodie Mondo stroller The straps can be tricky to adjust, making it all too easy for a particularly wriggly toddler to get their arms out of the harness and lean forward, which may be dangerous. And the same lightweightness that makes it so easy to steer on paved surfaces works against it on other terrains: grass, for example, poses a challenge, as does mud and dirt, so trips to the park on a rainy day need to be carefully planned. I would also like to see more stability when the stroller is in its folded position. While it's fine to lay down flat, sometimes you need to stow it upright (when you're on busy public transport, for example), but that's impossible to do without leaning the pushchair up against your legs or another surface. And the side catch that holds the stroller in its folded position can occasionally release if it's not properly clicked in, leaving you holding the half-collapsed buggy like an accordion - not ideal when you're trying to wrestle a hangry toddler through the front door. Should you buy the Elodie Mondo stroller? In summary, the Elodie Mondo is an excellent little pushchair, with a price point that won't break the bank if you're looking for a long-term option to take you from newborn all the way through to preschooler. It's small but sturdy, can be used from birth with the additional Carry Cot, and is available from Amazon starting from £279. Alternatively, the Librebon Lightweight Stroller is currently on offer with 30% off for £115. Users say they love the ease at which it folds down, the adjustable seat and the extendable hood. "It is so light weight, folds very easily down and very compact, still has a nice basket underneath," wrote one. "The change bag is a brilliant size, easy to adjust the seat, lovely hood with extra pull out part, feels sturdy even with how it folds. Excellent price for all that you get included. Raincover nice size, nice foot cover with easy zip. everything easy to use."

Mondo Armand Duplantis keeps breaking his pole vault world record by a single centimetre, but why?
Armand Duplantis, the Swedish pole vault king, may have the most apt nickname in all sport. The 25-year-old American-born athlete was nicknamed "Mondo" at a young age by a family friend. Mondo, for those who don't know, means "world" in Italian. I told you it was appropriate. In Sweden this week, for the 12th time in his career since February 2020, Duplantis has raised the bar on the pole vault world record, vaulting to 6.28m. For breaking the world record in an official World Athletics event, Duplantis can expect to pocket anything between $US50,000 ($76,000) and $US100,000 ($152,000) from the governing body each time — something that certainly adds up. It's not bad work if you can get it and, for Duplantis, getting the chance to break the world record is work that he can seemingly get very, very regularly. And there's no telling how far he can go, either. On each occasion Duplantis has broken the world record, he has raised the bar by just a single centimetre. Duplantis is, without question, an athlete of extraordinary ability. Nobody who saw his magical Olympic gold medal in Paris, where he (again) broke the world record by a single centimetre, can be in any doubt of how special he is. And it is that combination of his extraordinary talent, his chosen event's near-unique way of setting concrete targets in competition and, ironically, a lack of competition from his rivals, that allows him to continually raise the bar at such gradual increments. Pole vaulters, as well as high jumpers, can literally set the bar at what height they want to clear. The same cannot be said of long jumpers, throwers or runners. The high jumpers' lot is to compete largely against their own ability to clear the bar. The other defining aspect of the sport is that a pole vaulter is not done until they knock the bar down three times in succession. That means, in theory, they can send the bar up to increasingly dizzying heights for as long as they can. Let's take the Stockholm Diamond League meet as an example. In Stockholm, officials set the bar at an initial height of 5.45 metres, which six of the nine men in the field attempted and cleared. The other three, including Duplantis, did not attempt at that height, opting instead to come in at the next height, which was set at 5.60m. From that point on, the bar was raised by 10cm at a time, with two men failing to clear 5.70m, three men failing at 5.80m and two more failing to clear 5.90m, leaving just Duplantis and Australian Kurtis Marschall in the competition. Duplantis cleared 6.00m at the first attempt, while Marschall failed three times, knocking him out of the competition. However, Duplantis was not done, saying afterwards that "one of my biggest goals and dreams, [was] to set a world record here at Stadion." "I really wanted to do it, I had my whole family here, from both sides. "My grandma, she wanted me to promise yesterday that I would break the world record today — so I had a lot of pressure on me to do that in front of her." So Duplantis told officials to raise the bar to 6.28m, 1cm higher than his previous world record, which he then cleared. That 38cm winning margin is not that unusual for Duplantis. He won the Olympic Games in Paris by a full 30cm from American Sam Kendricks. Not in the slightest. Ukrainian/Soviet vaulter Sergey Bubka made breaking his own world record an art throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Between 1984 and 1994, Bubka broke the world record a whopping 17 times outdoors, 10 times by just a single centimetre, raising the bar from 5.85m to 6.14m. He also broke the world indoor record 18 times in that same period, and on only three of those occasions did he break it by more than a single centimetre. So dominant was Bubka that no sponsors were willing to cough up world record bonuses, so Nike incentivised him to the tune of a reported $US100,000-per-record to keep reaching his ever-increasing heights. As it happens, Duplantis has broken the indoor record six times since 2020, but his latest feat saw him blast past his previous mark by a whopping 5cm. It was a similar story in women's pole vault, where Russian Yelena Isinbayeva set 17 world records between 2003 and 2009, with compatriot Svetlana Feofanova taking it off her twice in that time as well. Despite the world record being broken 19 times in that six-year period, the bar was only raised by 24cm. There are fewer equivalents in high jump, although two-time Olympic champion Romanian Iolanda Balaș broke the women's mark 14 times in the pre-Fosbury Flop era between 1957 and 1961, including 12 times in a row. At the Stade de France during the 2024 Olympic Games, the 60,000 spectators were all, understandably transfixed by Duplantis. Already certain of gold — his second Olympic title — the Swede was hell-bent on continuing to raise the bar. Such is his talent that the Swede seemed to toy with supporters as he attempted 6.25m, the whole stadium clapping in unison before and during his acceleration down the runway before groaning as the bar was knocked down. His breaking of the record seemed inevitable. The two failures could even have been part of the script, this generational talent toying with the supporters' emotions before that one moment of euphoric release when he scaled history and vaulted into immortality. It was his brilliance that was the only thing standing between a magic Games moment and another bland, forgettable contest. There has, since his retirement, been a suggestion that Bubka never truly achieved his full potential as a vaulter, an almost absurd anachronism for a man who so dominated his field. But the critics would argue that Bubka was the definition of a man just coasting, doing the bare minimum to achieve his payday and then moving on — never pushing himself beyond what was necessary. Yes, until that point he was the greatest the world had ever seen, a man whose power and technique in using his equipment vaulted him to heights previously unheard of in the sport. But had he been pushed by a rival, would he have soared even higher? Perhaps we'll feel the same about Duplantis in the future. Every time the Swede has broken the world record he has been streets above the competition — an average of 40cm above in fact. Duplantis has essentially only been competing against himself for close to five years. Since 2020, Duplantis has competed in 93 events. He only failed to win four of them and has not lost since 2023. With next-to-no jeopardy in the overall result, Duplantis's never-ending quest to reach for the stars is arguably all that is keeping people interested.
