A pushchair that can be used from newborn, with a carrycot or similar, car seat.

It needs to be light to push, turn on a dime, compact, forward and rear facing, usable with a buggy board, big hood, decent basket to put lots of stuff under.

Ok think thats it

bee ....nuff said

im with honeydragon...you need a Bugaboo bee.

OMG Frigg in terms of big basket I got 24 tins of coke, a cabbage, milk and wine and dc's swim kit in the basket last week

Won't be telling Bugaboo that though

FriggFRIGG...I thought i saw a van with your name on yesterday but it turned out to say BRIGG instead.

suzie38 you geek

Bee
Bee
Bee
love it!
Actually selling mine soon.....

I know

I also had a Bee Plus and loved it...Sold it on for bigger and better though.

i wish it did say Frigg though...

I'm going smaller and more expensive

I am currntly buying lottery tickets as I really want a go with one of these I remember the old '80's Aprica strollers and this looks brill!

Seriously op, you need a Bee though

I know as i was a bit disappointed...I could see the RIGG in the distance and was willing the cars in front to get a move on, then saw it was BRIGG instead...PS I've bought a vintage Mothercare pushchair off eBay this morning

We had a great thread going about Aprica's awhile back and Combi do a similar one...As a result i now have a Graco Flip It courtousy of FriggFRIGG!!!

how is the flip it? Is it easy to steer flipped in rf?

Only used it a couple of times as it's my day out pushchair if there's a risk of needing to leave it somewhere unattended...Rear steering ok as i got used to it with my Frog.

i think we need to start a thread where me honydragon suzie38 and any other buggy addicts can come and air our sins
we keep tking over other peoples threads
my micralite is coming today

Ok op got that given your specifications - it's a bee.

And this is from 3 people who've tried a obscene amount of prams.

the bee doesn't have a hard carrycot though, and seat seems very low down for a newborn IMHO

i LOVE the Britax B Smart 4 - nice roomy seat which goes both ways, big basket, big wheels at the back, separate carrycot and compatible with britax car seats, oh and looks gorgeous!

the britax b smart is flimsy and wobbly,IMHO.and the brake often gets stuck so you have to click it about 100 tiimes before it works again ...

i really wonder why bugaboo don't make a hard carrycot for the bee it would be perfect then.
i would love a bee really but i'm not sure it would have coped with all the snow and ice last winter

hmmm,yes a hard carrycot set higher up the frame would be perfect...
its okay on the snow,it's no frog though...

Vigour has the carry cot option which is ideal but it depends how compact the op wants.

This is why when both dcs were tiny I opted for the old style pliko with carry cot, then sold them off once they were sitting up. I wish I'd got a carry cot for the vigour tbh.

My bee copes with everything! It was fine in snow but not the ice which came after. But be fair, no buggy could cope with that!
Actually my maxi cosi freestyle does but they don't make them anymore!

Ok i'll have to look at a bee in a shop, thanks!! I'm not overly sure about the frame on it but maybe i'll like it better irl! I hope so.
Any other to look out for if I don't lik eit or is the bee the only option

I want to get it right this time, I have had over 30 pushchairs for my dc and I think dp will kill me if I go through that again

i didint really like the bee at first either,but,honest,its fantastic!

Thats a good sign if you didn't like it at first aswell then!

Does it lay completely flat? How big is the seat unit (height and width)?
