Lightweight pushchair for 2nd floor flat

7 replies

Kcoffecakebubs · 17/11/2019 17:23

Hi, I've been searching and still can't find an answer! DS is 6 months old and we live in a second floor flat, no lift, no space to leave anything downstairs.

Until now, we have been keeping the pushchair in the boot of the car, and using a baby carrier to bring him up and down the stairs. Which has worked fine. DH will be changing jobs soon, and will now need the car every day to get to work, so trying to work out the best solution and looking for advice /ideas! So far these seem to be my options:

1- Buy a second lightweight stroller that I could carry upstairs along with baby at same time (he's already 23lbs,98th centile so on his own this is getting harder already!!)? If so, any recommendations under £100, don't want to spend much as happy with main pushchair.

2-Take him out on baby carrier-in theory OK, but again, I imagine weight will become an issue, and wouldn't be able to be out long or get shopping etc?

3-never leave the flat while DH is at work?!

Any help appreciated.

We gotta Joie Pact. It's really light and a 1 handed fold, we use it a lot for the underground. Paid about £80 :)

It's a bit out of your budget (but worth the investment imo) but we have the GB pockit plus, we got ours in the babies r us closing down sales for our holiday. It's fabulous, extremely light and folds put very small, you can pop it into a bag and put it over your shoulder. Takes a bit if practice to fold it quickly but if you're doing it every day you'll be a pro on no time. Mothercare used to do their own version which was cheaper but unfortunately it doesn't look like they do it anymore as would have been good with the closing down sales etc. Perhaps looking for second hand might be an option if your budget won't stretch.

Ive got a Cybex easy twist 360 but it will be over your £100 budget. I also have an oyster zero which is much bigger but folds with one hand and is fairly light.

Thanks everyone. It seems a lot of then are over budget or have a 15kg weight limit (which doesn't seem very long term).

We have the Cosatto Woosh and its great! Very light weight and goes up to 25kg. They come in really bright designs and amazon usually have offers on them. We managed to get the Dino Kingdom one for £110.
