Do you always apply the push-chair brakes when you are stationary?
Yes - well if I am stationary and have to let go of the pram that is. Otherwise, if on the flat no.
Could you describe any experiences of problems with stopping a push-chair?
Um, its difficult going down a steep hill or if the ground doenst have much grip. For example - the slip path down to a beach near here is rather difficult - pram feels like it will roll away as is quite heavy. Maybe something that slowed the pram down on a hill may be good
Do you think an auto-brake system is a good idea?
I think so, but how would it know when to brake? If it kept accidentally braking that would be very annoying!
Would you pay more for a push-chair with an auto brake built in?
I dont know. I think it would maybe make me choose a pushchair over another one if I was undecided but I wouldnt spend more on it.
Would you buy a separate auto-brake attachment or accessory?[/b]
No, I dont think so.
I would like a brake to be operated by hand on the handle bars I think...or for them at least to make the foot ones chunky. The best design you press a big button with your foot - the lever ones are really difficult to do when you have sandles on in the summer! Needs to be big and chunky too - phil and teds one is useless.
Hope that helps
