I am taking ds to Holland on the ferry - which buggy should I take?!!

[theSuburbanDryad]

The journey will involve a short Tube journey to Liverpool Street, then a longer train journey to Harwich. Then the ferry - obviously - then trains etc through Holland. And then using it throughout the week on trains etc in Holland (although Dutch railways are much better for buggy access IIRC) and the same journey back again.

So the buggy I choose must be lightweight, easy to lift up and down stairs, comfortable for ds for long periods of time and for him to go to sleep in, and have plenty of room underneath.

The choices are: The iCoo Plasma 7, the Presto Bruin stroller or the Mothercare Jive stroller - for which I don't have a hood or raincover.

Decisions, decisions!! Help me, lovely MNers!

Doesn't anyone care about my buggy dilemma?

Hello! How - i just reposted on the products topic as i thought everyone was ignoring me on here!!

Yes, i already own all these buggies - the iCoo we got given cause of dh's work, the Presto was a Christmas present from my parents as we were moving to near London and needed one for the tube, and the Jive was a desperate buy in the middle of High Wycombe when i realised i didn't have a buggy for ds!!

The trouble with taking the Presto is that the brake is broken - otherwise there'd be no issue, i'd take that one. And on the iCoo the straps are broken - otherwise again, no problem. The Jive is the only one which is whole and unbroken - but it's not very comfortable for poor ds for long periods and i think he has trouble sleeping in it!

don't take jive, you know he'll slump in it and its guaranteed to rain if no cover, personally I'd take the presto and hold it (I never put the brake on my zpp ) any chance of fixing straps on the i'coo?

EAH - we want to use the iCoo for the new baby, so we'll have to fix the straps at some point! Trouble is it's up in my parent's loft atm so i'd need to get over there and have a proper look at it!

I was going to take the backpack as chances are we'll be using a bike and seat for at least some of the time while we're over there - but i don't want to not have the option of the buggy IYSWIM.

take the presto - he'll be comfy and happier in taht compared to the mothercare one! (when are you off then?)

Sept 14th - and i'm so sososososososososososo excited!
