Jane are they worth the money?

[Somedaysoon]

Hi I have my eye on the jane rider but dont know much about jane prams so wanted some opnions :)

We brought a Jane Nomad Sytem for DC1 and it has been amazing - would highly recommend them.

Oooh can you link to them please?

I bought a jane something when dd1 was born. We have walked the dogs through forests every day since, and I only just retired it recently (6 years!) It was certainly sturdy and stood up to some serious off-road use. 3 dc later, it's grubby but still serviceable, so I would say it has been a good buy

I had a Jane double which was useless.

Can't speak for the singles though.

My main complaint is that you can't wash the covers on most/all models as they have a piece of wood in them for the back support

Ours broke after nearly 1 yr. Was not happy. I had loved it until that point.

They were very unhelpful in getting it fixed as were the shop ( we were willing to pay). In the end after too many phone calls we didn't bother and bought a buggy not by Jane.

Love my Jane slalom pro, great for country walks and fine in town too - it's so light to push it's far easier than a buggy IMO (my town has steep hills!), although wider.

My DS's have been so comfy in it, and there's room for both of them if I put the seat all the way down (DS2 sitting between DS1's legs) so it makes a handy double when the youngest can sit up and the eldest is tired.

CarGirl - was that for the double? I have a single and put all the bits in the washing machine and come out as good as new.

Somedaysoon - I don't know if thehy make the Nomad any more as was 3 years ago I got it and think it's now been replaced

I've had a few different ones............

We have a Slalom Pro and have loved it - we have taken it everywhere - fields, beaches, the city etc. We are now looking at a Powertwin as we have number 2 on the way. They do hold their value well so maybe a good second hand one would make them a little more affordable?

I love my Jane 360 powertrack, it's a good solid pram and really easy to push it's great over gravel, snow etc where my Cameleon and Maclarens wheels just get stuck. They are not available new now but I would reccommend a second hand one or this has been replaced by a nurse Dakar (nurse are made by same company Johnston prams) identical chassis but without the handbrake and much cheaper, Nurse dakar I've recently ordered new covers and the customer service was very good.

loved my nomad, used it for yonks then passed it on to someone who has since passed it on so i still see it floating around here.

iv had 3, sonic, slalom and nomad, just sold my slalom, majorly regret it now

I had an Energy and despised the thing, 10 months after buying it (£110) as a second buggy (used about 9/10 times) we gave it away for free, well I actually tried to throw it in a skip when we were on holiday but someone asked for it, the brakes were crap, the handles just about snapped off, the recline broke, the footrest was out of shape, the wheels locked/unlocked randomly and the folding mechanism was shite!

But that was a stroller type and have heard nothing but good things about their bigger pushchairs so just stay away from the strollers :o
