I've been offered a 2nd hand Cameleon for £220-£250. It's 6 years old and when I tried it out it feels a bit rickety - the handle has about 6 inches of 'give' ie. it moves up and down without the wheels coming off the ground with it if that makes sense? I think this might be a normal Cameleon thing to do from what I have read on the web though.
But the seat is also a bit bouncy - it bounces up and down slightly when I am walking even though it is clicked in fine. DS doesn't mind, and it looks quite soothing but is this normal? DD tried to climb up onto it and the whole seat sort of tilted down to the ground a few degrees when she put her weight on it (obviously I stopped her!).
As far as I know the Bugaboos are supposed to be A class engineering but the whole thing feels a bit 'not-solid'. I know it had pretty hard (daily) use but there's tread left on the tyres, the brake works fine and she's offering it for that price with all the extras - covers, raincover, footmuff, buggy board etc etc so does that seem reasonable and does that sound normal in terms of 'user experience' for this sort of buggy?
I am Maclaren Techno XT girl so this is all foreign territory to me!
