where's the best place to try before you buy?

I want to test drive the Maclaren XT & City Jogger before I decide which one I want, but have no idea where to go??? I'm in the SE so can do Sussex/Surrey/Hants and want a big store that's likey to have them

If you were able to get up to Peterborough, I'd recommend Kiddicare. Otherwise, maybe somewhere like John Lewis at Bluewater?

John Lewis in Southampton should have them. I called before I set off last time and they checked with the nursery dept that everything was available for testing

Baby Nest in Croydon, Surrey, is very good, with friendly and helpful staff. They hold stock of a large variety of pushchairs, both single and double.

Give them a call and see if they have them in stock to try. They are also very good at price matching, including internet prices.
