dd is 2 years 5 months old, he buggy atm is very hard to push due to the back wheel which are also making a clunking noise. i don't think she is ready yet to ditch the buggy and in this wet and windy weather i am in no hurry to try.

depoends how much you use it.
I have a child of the same age and there is no way i could do without the buggy because we walk into town and stuff and he simply wouldn't be able to walk that far.

so, if I were you yes, I would get another buggy. although i would prob buy second hand

Depends really, DS is 18 months old and is a good walker but we had a similar pushchair to yours and have decided to upgrade it. We are however TTC so it will still be getting use after DS stops using it.

Why not get a second hand one? I got a Obaby Atlas which was in fab condition, with a raincover for £10 via another obviously inferior parenting website.

I'd get another...cheap or secondhand

Youngest charge is 2.6 and although a fantastic walker, she certainly needs it after nursery to nap in and so we can do the school run on time

I'd get another too. Especially if you walk a lot.

Look on freecycle or ebay (local collection only).

HettyAmaretti · 03/11/2011 21:07

Yes, do get another. DS is the same age and I wouldn't want to be without it yet.

Couldn't cope without one personally! Agree with others, freecycle, ebay or if you do want new for cheaps Mamas and papas have clearance/outlet stores knocking about.

ballstoit · 03/11/2011 21:15

DD2 is the same age. Definitely wouldnt want to be without a pushchair over the winter with her. Agree with others though, Ebay, Gumtree or your local paper may be a cheaper alternative.

Nicdigby · 03/11/2011 21:17

YANBU, I would def get a new one. If you sell it on Ebay after you've finished with it, it won't have cost that much anyway.

Ours were out of buggies by this age because we are evil parents because we do field archery and it's a pain pushing a buggy (even with big wheels) around a wood, but if you are having to do long distances with tired DCs then definitely get one - lots of good second hand ones around.

auntiepicklebottom2 · 03/11/2011 22:09

thanks for the responces, she does get tired after playgroup and i am getting a bad back pushing the evil buggy.

looked in argos and there one with raincover for £30 with good reviews
