Yes yes, picky I know!

But I hate it! The handle is to narrow (baby jogger city mini so a half moon handlebar) and after an hour today, my shoulders were aching...I ended up pushing it one handed and walking alongside it...and I keep kicking the wheels...and my charge is 5m old so a long tine in it yet

I cant exactly demand they buy a new buggy so what do I do!

As your employer has a legal duty to minimise the risks to your health, this is something you should be raising with them
There was a nursery nurse who sued her employer as she got a bad back from putting babies in cots in a. nursery

How about this extension?

It look suitable.

BTW I'd really want to know if you were my nanny. (especially if its still annoying you 5 months later).

Its been 4 mths. You need to say something. Are you still in discomfort?

Do you know which buggy you do like? Can you get one of your own?

Talk to your employer.
Is your back still hurting?

dont know why you just dont tell her

im in a temp job at the moment and hate the buggy as cant get it up and down easily plus you need to take seats off to shut the buggy and tbh all a hassle, esp if raining, i get soaked putting it in the car

i said to mum how i hated it, and if i were to stay (which not as nanny coming back, was ill) she did say she would buy another one

personally i would buy a second hair one and use in your job, if after talking to mum she doesnt seem bothered or happy to chnage
