silver cross halo

[sazm]

hi all,
just wondered if anyone has this? is it suitable for a 2yr old?
i have an xt just now,but fancy a change,should i??
thanks :)

Nnnnoooo dont do it lol

I had it when my dd was approx 10 month and got rid of it after about 3-month.

was sold on the funky design and stupidly bought it brand new at £300!!

It is like pushing a cheap supermarket trolley
No shopping basket or even anywhere really to put the raincover 4 that matter.

ah,see i went mad and bought the xt, but my lo is walking everywhere now,and seems pointless having the xt sitting in the boot unused,so im going to sell it and buy something cheap and cheerful - doesnt sound llike the halo is very cheerful tho lol! found a few at £59 on ebay,

i had a zapp which i loved,but the low handles and lack of recline was no use for holidays/long days out (which is pretty much the only time the buggy will be used)

hmm,not sure what else i fancy lol

I have a Halo and I quite like it but, more importantly, my 7 month old daughter loves it. It is a lot more comfortable than most pushchairs I see. I like that it folds very flat although I do pull the wheels off when we have two pushchairs in the boot. It has a really simple recline system and actually bends at the hips unlike some other pushchairs. It doesn't feel in the slightest bit flimsy to me. The handle looks a weird shape but it's actually quite ergonomic. It isn't great that it doesn't have a real basket so I put the raincover under the elastic and use bag hooks on the handles. I always use a bag with a long enough handle to stretch across the handle bar.

If you do go for it, make sure you check it's not from one of the batches that had a design fault on the hinge. I think the recalled ones were made in 2009.

i seen it in my local small baby shop a while ago and really liked it,lack of shopping basket isnt a problem,as i dont really use it for shopping (live in the middle of nowhere so need to go to the shops in the car lol)

hmm,didnt know about the hinge thing,

is the seat unit a decent size (thinking 4yo might want to sneak in for a nap after too many late nights on holiday!)

I think the seat is quite wide. It's quite a bit wider than my strollers and my old Pliko Pramette. If you're going to be using it on bumpy ground, I'm not sure I would get it. It's fine on normal ground or grass but I've used it on stoney ground and cobbles, which woke my daughter up because it was pretty juddery.

Here's the safety notice if you want to check the batch number.
