Has any one bought this pushchair from amazon? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005UM9KG8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p75_d0_g75_i3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1YP9P0W6N5P517RA0KBC&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21. I'm looking for a low cost three wheeler for DS2 who is 13mths for general use and on local forest paths/cycle tracks - wouldn't need to do major off roading as we have sling/backpack for that but want something easy to push when I go round our local country park with DS1 and DS2 and all the kiddie clutter (can't manage backpack and all their stuff when DH isn't with us). Fold size isn't too much of an issue as we have a reasonable size boot. The reviews of this sound too good to be true - what do others think. Thanks all!

I'm watching for replies to this too as I've seen this pushchair and it seems great for the price!

I haven't seen it before but I'd be concerned about how amazingly thin (you can actually see through it!
) the fabric is and the big gaps around the back. I think the child would get the full force of and wind, rain or cold. Apart from that it looks reasonable. I think I'd rather go for a decent second hand 3 wheeler personally though.

The fabric does look very thin. But if you do want it look here, the same seller is selling it on eBay for £10 cheaper with the rain cover and foot muff. I've looked on the amazon details and it doesn't say they're included but they might be. The wheels look nice and big but you might find that leaves get stuck in the wheels as there are so many spokes!

If you look on EBay for air buggy mimi, there were some new singles for around £100. The double was fab and if I could justify it, I would be getting one of the EBay single ones!

Thanks. I think the air buggy is a little gem :)

Thanks all for your thoughts will have a look at the air buggy.

I would say the original pushchair looks like an old Mothercare Urban Detour just tarted up a bit, and would recommend finding a good second hand UD for about 30 quid
