Pushchair - what do you recommend

[Sunshineishere]

Recommendations for a pushchair please? I am stuck in the rabbit hole of looking.

Have an Uppababy atm, it’s been amazing! BUT now my DD needs it less, I would like some boot space back. Have a holiday abroad and a few UK trips this year too.

Ideally; comfortable, good suspension (live semi rural). Doesn’t have to be cabin friendly, as I feel that is a restriction. Near lie flat (so DD can nap on holiday). Over 15kg weight limit.

Ergobaby - Metro
Joie - several brands
Joulz - Aer

are a few I’ve looked at several times.

Bump… anyone have a good pushchair?

I've just bought the joie litetrax pro which I feel fits your brief!

@Coffeeandcrocs thank you! That’s one on my shortlist. Just didn’t know if the weight and size wouldn’t really be suitable for planes. But love the look.

Baby Jogger City Mini was brilliant for us - really sturdy and one handed folding mechanism.

I had a McLaran buggy, it must have done thousands of miles, got it when ds was 3 months old for when we went to the caravan as we couldn't fit the big travel system in the car & used it until he was nearly 4, it had been through airports, squashed in the car boot, used on country walks & still looked like new when I got rid of it.

We have a Silver Cross Pop- DD has had it since she was 2 and she still fits in it with plenty of space and she’s 4 now. We have taken it away with us and the hood has been great at keeping out the sun, it lays back flat for them to sleep and it has a large basket.

We had the yoyo from birth to 5 and have logged many air miles, bus trips, daily commute, restaurant, museum, playground and zoo visits. I will be sad when we no longer have to use it which will mean my baby is no longer a baby.

I don't have it yet, so can't give proper recommendation, but I've just ordered a Mountain Buggy Swift, which looks like it'll do everything you want. I live rurally too.

We have the Joolz Aer and I love it. It's so easy to fold, it's actually one handed rather than that just being a claim. The only downside is that it doesn't recline properly (it has a zip panel that can fall back at an angle, but it's not much of a recline and my little one hates it).

The others we tried in store were the Bugaboo Butterfly and the Silver Cross equivalent. The Butterfly felt quite heavy and the SC had a complicated folding trick. The Aer I literally just push in the button and give it a sharp shake and it's down or up.
