Shopping - Stokke feedback

[womanlytales]

Hi, I am looking at Stokke products and feel that they sound fantastic - but then I came across a review of the Stokke push chair and heard that it was difficult to fold and rather heavy... So I'd like your help with a couple of other items on my list:

Stokke Cotbed - - the one that extends from 0 - 3 years old.. Have any of you bought and used this? I wonder if there's a benefit in the oval shape over the standard rectangular shapes..
Stokke Changing Table - - Has anyone used this? Does it help?

We have a small double bed that we want to use as the nursery and are trying to keep it as minimalist as possible...pls advice.

I don't have any advice on the cot or changing table, except that they both look lovely and are very expensive! But don't just go by one review for the pushchair. Once you know how to fold it, it's easy and I find mine much easier to push than any other type I've tried.

womanly I looked at the stokke pushchair when we were pg with DS - although I can't remember how heavy etc it was. But I wondered if there was anywhere you could go to try putting it up and down? I think a lot of pushchairs take a bit of getting used to (for example we have a bugaboo and you have to give it a bit of a swing and a kick which took a bit of getting used to but is easy enough once you get the hang of it - fortunately the place we bought it from were really good at actually teaching us how to put it up rather than just showing us).

Don't know about the cot / change table either but they look lovely - I certainly wouldn't have minded one

I had two stokke pushchairs....one for each child I loved them...so easy to put up and down once you do it a couple of times and spin on a dime! So easy to push!

Thank you for your feedback - much appreciated :)

I have seen the cot you are talking about and it is lovely but quite expensive. I think as it is round you have to get special bottom sheets etc.. no idea about the pushchair but I would say that you definitely have to go and try and fold one yourself as one persons nightmare is anothers heaven.
