Parent-facing pushchairs, why so expensive? well for me!

[Dozeyland]

I love the look of the bugaboo-bee but fatchance can i afford that!

the sola by mamas and papas - 260 - maybe

britax b-smart 3-400 - no way

DOHHHHHHHHHH :(

any other suggestions which are within a good price range for not-so-rich-people-like-myself lol

I have the Babystyle Oyster - paid £250 for only the pushchair - not the carrycot. Really like it. Hated having my daughter facing forward.

Second hand? You can usually pick up some bargains on ebAy. Or doesn't the new Quinny zapp go back (nor sure on price).

Or use a sling when little- I did that and had a maclaren -worked really well

I was going to suggest the Loola but it seems to have gone up from £200 to £300 in the last 18 months! So I would go for a second hand Bugaboo if I were you, I think they tend to wear pretty well and you can buy replacement covers if you want to.

mothercare my4 is parent facing and about 375. I wanted a parent facing option and this one seems fab and fab price.

you want a britax vigour cheap off ebay,mine sold for around £50,i think someone has one in the 'for sale' pushchair section here.

it's just like the britax b smart,but better,and cheaper

like this one

ive found a loola for 165! might buy?

I bought my bee from here for £180 and love it!

have a looka t vigours first if you like the smart,you'll like the vigour,honest,theyre brill,ive heard pretty rubbish reviews on the loola...

oh and if you really want a loola this one's only £55

or this brand new one

Kiddicare.com have a rear facing one for £170 at the moment if you were set on new.

I've been looking at this lately. Thinking of changing later in the year as it's lighter than what I have now( s-cross linear freeway). Don't know what they're like to drive though!

The loola is good for the new born stage but you'll want another before the baby is 6 months old.
I loved it when he was tiny but by the time he was out of the carrycot it was too heavy.

what about this?

I've had a few prams but my favourites are Britax Vigour 3+ as my walking pram

and my car and bus pram is the streety (lighter, smaller fold than loola) which mnetters have a love or hate relationship with.

The streety is compatible with a carry cot too and my friend had a bee but still went and bought a Streety after seeing my dd in her carry cot

or this

I prefer mamas and papas switch to Sola, at least the its a one piece fold

oes that parent-face too?

Switches do, some of the old ones with the flipp handle bar were a bit tempremental, but I've heard the new ones are better.

Ooooh the Herbie is quite wee but I don't personally rate it

herbie

switch

And their is a 2009 bee for sale on preloved I think for £175

hey, just tolet u know u can get the britax B brand new from ebay for around 170 pound :)

This seller on Ebay sells QUinny Buzzs for really low prices. They say they are used but they are just returns, so in new condition. They are actually Dorrell who are the UK distributers of Quinny. I bought a Zapp from them for £35 and it was brand new still in the box.

I think the Buzz goes for around £150 usually from them.

I second the Britax Vigour 3! Sixty squid off ebay, looked barely used when we got it - still had the wee knobbly bits on the side of the tyres (looks a bit different now ).
