about time to....

[papaya]

they are going to start making more affordable rear facing pushchairs.....

rgds under 2's only suppsed to be watching half an hour of tv a day....hey, it keeps mine quiet

Taking what!! (sorry - couldn't resist the headline typo) lol

Good news though.

lol....hadnt even noticed that

"Latest research reveals that if kids can't see the person who is pushing them, they are slower to learn to talk"

I dread to think what DS1 would have been like if he'd been in a rear facing pushchair. I've not been able to "shut him up" since he learnt to talk at about 10 months.

But that is a load of cobblers cos Silver Cross, Inglesina, Mothercare, Hauck, M and P, to name but a few, do rearward/forward facing pushchairs for under £500

Soupy, my DD2 too. We taught her to hold her breath, just so we'd get 5 seconds of peace

LOL Soupdragon. us too. DD only ever had a forward facing pushchair and she talks non stop. Found her voice very early on, said her first words from 6 months and has never stopped. According to that if she had been facin me it would be worse!

I can't see how this research can be true TBH, unles a child in in the pushchair constantly or it is the only placetheir parent speaks to them. DD didn't spend that much time in her pushchair I guess. But we still spoke to her when she was - as did every passerby!!!

are you sure lizs? cos i couldn't find one, but then i only looked in mothercare.

i have an i'coo which is rear facing. cost me £289 but have seen them recently for £189
m'care stock the 3 wheel version.

if you want a rear-facing pushchair they can be found for well under £500

Just about to post to say you can get an I'coo Ifinity for £154.99 here The seat is reversible.

wish i'd know that before! We ended up getting a great big clunking chicco pram whic ds always hated -cost nearly £500, and so he ended up in a sling until 8 months when we bought a mclaran stroller for under £100. Fist pram a waste of money.

i like the look of that Icoo one!

Thank god I had one for ds then (he's now 12) he has not shut up since he was 11mths
hate to think what he'd be like had I offered him such stimulation....

Mothercare reversible one here £179.99 not particularly lightweight though . M and P Venezia £250 including car seat . Pramette @ £270 Isn't I'Coo made by Hauck ?

yeah i'coo is sort of their prestige range! lol
VERY well made... best pram i've ever had. downside.. it is VERY heavy

bebeconfort loola was good to face both directions, sadly not good rural place where we live
