Hi pushchair experts!
I'm expecting my third child and am wondering whether it's worth getting a new pushchair. Criteria are....
- rear-facing for newborn (this could be e.g.with carrycot rather than seat)
- not crazily expensive (buying 2nd hand is an option though if hard-wearing and reliable)
- not heavy (we're used to a maclaren triumph now!)
- compact fold
- no carseat compatibility required, lie-flat is essential
- sturdy and comfy enough for day trips
- compact enough for public transport (I don't drive)
The 3 pushchairs we've owned before are
a) M&P pliko pramette- Loved this for the first year, nice and sturdy, rear-facing and lay flat, but then didn't really use once we got a Maclaren.
b) Maclaren triumph- great buggy for older children, like how lightweight it is and the umbrella fold.
c) Phil&Teds double- brilliant double, also used a lot as a single as it was so sturdy/comfy for DS2.
We've only got the maclaren now so our options are to either borrow something to use for the first 9 months or so (a friend has offered the loan of her Loola) or buy something, but I'd only prefer to do this if it's something we're likely to keep for use for a few years.
So what (if anything) fits the bill?
