Off the top of your head single handled pushchairs of a similar size to a bjcm.
Need something easy to push 1 handed while holding dd1's hand
All ideas apreciated

They are all on here.
They are all different beasties though. The B-Agile is very similar to the BJCM. My choice re which to get is that the B-Agile has a slightly lower handle and bigger seat so is better suited to a larger toddler. My 17 month old slumped in the B-Agile and is fine in the BJCM, but my toddler looks better in the B-Agile than in the City Mini.
The Noa is our workhorse - the best buy of 2011! It's light, easy manoeuvrable, simp,e to use, freestands when folded etc etc. We love ours. The only thing is that it's more of a car pushchair ie from the car into somewhere rather than for walking lots. The Emotion Xtreet bridges the gap between the two - it's slightly more sturdy than the Noa, just as easy to push etc. These last two are only suitable from 6 months.

It's the Baby Jogger Versa you want. It's on Best Buggy too. But don't expect to see one much before summer. The GT should come first hopefully in Spring.

Have just google the b agile and must say quite like it, also love the emotion but all seem to be american sites is it available in the uk?
I walk 90% of the time so noa prob not right
TwinkleWunkleChristmasStar · 19/12/2011 21:29
You can buy the Xtreet easily on European sites, but not in the UK. A company were trying to bring it here which is how it caught my eye. But I am not sue pre I would want to walk loads with it. It's more of an urban pushchair. The B-Agile is great to use though. I have a M&P Urbo too which seems good.
Nicplus2 · 19/12/2011 21:35
Ah right ( ooh you are very knowledgable )
Had an urbo, loved the seat but the chassis had zero suspention and the pavements around me are terrible to the point it was jolting dd and waking her if she was asleep.
Am thinking the b agile may be a good option or the bjcm?

Like I said, I would choose a) by your height and b) by the age of your child. I am 5ft 6ins and the B-Agile is too low for me. The BJCM is a tad too high, but for me, too high is better than too low. The BJCM would suit children aged 0-4 but as I said the B-Agile suits my 3 year old better than my baby. Don't forget there is a 4 wheel version of the BJCM now, and the GT version which will have a bigger seat, longer footrest, handbrake, adjustable handle, better basket etc will be out in spring.

Im about 5.5 ish i have an oyster at the min and have this on the highest as it feels more comfortable.
DD is nearly 5 months, am looking to purchase after xmas so wont quite be 6 months.
Dont like the look of the gt, dont like the wheels lol, have issues with wheels bizzarly.
Do like the 4 wheel version, but love the purple in the 3

The only thing I will say is that I switched to a BJCM4 after finding the BJCM3. When I was chatting to Kooltrade about it, they asked if I walked one handed ie holding my toddlers hand, and they said I would find the 4 wheeler less tippy. And they are right. The 4 wheeler is solid as a rock.
