Just started a new job. ..and I HATE the buggy!

I'm a nanny employer and would definitely want to know if my nanny felt like this.

Although, I think I'd want you to have given it a good go first and see if you get used to it. I'd also be more inclined to make changes for a nanny who'd already "proved themselves" and I was happy with, iyswim, rather than a brand new nanny.

So I'd say it might go down better if you can give it another few weeks before you say anything. Any other solution in the meantime? Do they have a sling? Can you avoid going long distances?

If my nanny did raise this with me, it would also be helpful to know what buggies she does like and if she could have already found one available locally and fairly cheaply on gumtree, so much the better

Sympathy as I hated the BJCM too when I tried it in a shop, but it is very popular so guess the parents may be very happy with it...

I had the same issue with the handle. After pushing it any distance I felt like I'd been hunching my shoulders for hours and it's really heavy for a supposedly lightweight stroller. I guess they don't have to change it but I'd certainly mention my discomfort. You don't have anything to lose.

I struggled with that pram as well used it with a baby from 3 months to 9 months when my contract ended. I think it's a little different as I had an end date. Maybe wait a week or two and then mention a lighter or more suitable pram. It's one pram that gets such good reviews and I'm not sure how I disliked it more each day - handle not comfy to hold and wrong angle for me, constantly kicking it and extremely heavy to push no idea how people push it with older children.

Sorry just read the bit about charge 5 months; definitely need to sort out as long term. When charge older you can buy a basic buggy quite cheaply, light weight stroller. But this age less choice.

I would discuss with employers.
How old is the child ? And do you have to use each day eg taking an older child to school?
Health and safety at work act applies to all employment and if the buggy damages your shoulder or back you could take legal action. Yes I know a bit far fetched but you are not obliged to continue to use if seriously damaging your health. So I would suggest a compromise.
Discuss with the family. Maybe they have considered replacing it anyway, could you buy one cheaply second hand maybe pay 50 /50 with employer?

Get used to it? Not very helpful. Sorry.
