I have the bjcm. It's lovely especially with the carrycot and it's the only one that will fit in our 7 seater when all seats used at weekend.

But I want need a parent facer for the school run, walk to park and beach deluded as I'm lazy

Thinking of a 2nd hand britax vigour. Bit confused but the models though. Which is the one to get that's decent in snow/beach?

Thanks.

we have a 3 wheel vigour 3+ in good condition which I'm thinking of getting rid of (need a double in a few months!), so PM me if you'd be interested :)

if not, I would still recommend the 3+ - it feels light to push, and have had no issues in snow with it (not been to beach). def better than a bastard Graco anyway :)

Will pm you but my budget isnt much more than a courier would be.
Anymore ideas for a cheap parent facer?

ok, well if you're near me, my britax is pretty old (3rd hand), so wouldn't be asking much for it, and you could obv pick it up - but I agree, courier would be a pain, and they are not cheap.

let me know either way :)

If you don't get kveta's, have a look on eBay searching by distance.

I was told when I was looking a while ago that 4 wheel would be best, but that's more for hills and woods etc. 3 wheels would probably be ok of you're using it on flat ground.

You're not in or near London are you?

Hi I wish I was but I'm in Cornwall. Vigours rarely come up near me. Missed one on a Facebook selling site yesterday too for £35 !

Can either of you tell me which model I need for a 9 week old and beach/possibly snow?
Thanks

ah, bummer, I'm other side of the UK, and no plans to visit Cornwall any time soon!

for a 9 week old, you'd need a carry cot or car seat, surely? the seat I've got is technically for 6 months plus, but used it fine from 5 months with DS.
