Where to test Mutsy 4Rider, Silver Cross and iCandy for 4month old DD?

[newmummy101]

Hi there, my DD is 4 months old. So far we have been using a M&P Pramette handed down from my cousins. But it is feeling a bit old and ropey, having done a few kids before her, and now that she is ready to use the pushchair I really miss the fact that it doesn't do rear facing.

So we are thinking of buying a travel system that would work for our DD now - including rear facing pushchair option - and for another DD or DS if we are blessed in the future..!

Having looked at Mumsnet reviews online Im thinking of Mutsy 4 Rider or Silver Cross or one of the iCandy brands... We were in JL today and they do iCandy but I couldn't see the others. Does anyone know where is a good place to check out all these brands. Or tips on what to go for?

We live in central London and I love to walk so want something my daughter will be happy and comfortable in. Have also thought of Stokke but a friend who has it says bit bumpy. Reviews on bugaboo seem quite mixed.

Thanks in advance.... My first post so sorry if it is a bit long!!

i had a stokke and yes they are a bump ride, no suspension. have you looked at the uppababy vista, it is well loved amoung us pram addicts, with 3 of us owning one, two wanting one and 1 had one. the seat is forward facing, they have huge shopping baskets, great suspension, very light to push, they come with carrycot and raincover as standard. they are a great all rounder and come highly recommended

I would choose a brand eg iCandy (because I know they do this), use their website to pull up a list of local independent retailers and then give them a call and see if they stock the other two brands. A good independent shop can give you great service and advice.
