Bugaboo cam
Bugaboo bee+
iCandy strawberry

Or bug bee AND bug cam...

I'm going mental.

I need,RF ,smallish to store,pushes well.
I don't drive but I need to find somewhere in the house to store it easily.
I already have an MB+one and a maxi cosi noa.
We walk everywhere,i walk fast and a lot. Grin


The iCandy will be very difficult for me to get hold of because of the blardy "only sell in store" bull,and doesn't come up 2nd hand often.
The bee+ can have ishoos.
The cam is a two part fold which I'm not keen on.

I want an easywalker June but I'm too sodding impatient and they keep putting their release dates back Angry

For £20 I don't expect you'll really regret it as such.
But it will still be a pile of shite a terrible push with no recline,low seat back,small basket etc.

I see Wink Frigg

Now if the Loola up had better straps it would be a great pram.

Just spend the £20 Honey ...at least you will know and I am sure you have lost more on a pushchair in the past? Then we can talk again about the truly fabulous Yezz :)

Frigg I knew you couldn't stick to just one pushchair forever!

You got the +One or it's brilliant properties for carrying 2 chunkalumps easily especially on outings. Stay focussed! If you don't need the +One then why on earth are you looking at Runways? Get the Bee and the Strawberry and then you will be happy until July at least [wunk]
But you know you need the +One for the summer.

Southampton has JL, Mamas and Papas, Mothercare and a big Boots all within strolling distance. It's where Mum and I will be going to test push as soon as we get organised.

There's also a meet up on Saturday for lunch, if you want a thread link?

Puppy proof - now thats an altogether different brief! I am just wondering what amazing puppy tales will come out of your family in the next few weeks though....keep me informed if he gets dressed up, dyed, put in a pushchair or more than likely something worse than I can possibly imagine! LOL

LOL re shopping.....I have just been really good and ordered something from Kiddicare (in the sale) which isn't a pushchair - although I will admit to having a browse through before finalising the sale.

Hmm you immac a baby once and no one let's you forget it!

Grin

Just picked up the Volo for £15, it's an older model as I noticed a lot of new ones going second hand say the strap is no longer with it. So have concluded it has issues.

Certainly a doddle to carry in your back. Hoods a total mess but I've had worse to clean up.

I can't believe I own a maclaren Sad I feel so dirty and ashamed.

Tiggywunkle · 13/06/2012 20:22

Shhhh the Maclaren fan club might hear you.

I just can't believe a puppy is joining your house of crazy events....that has to be a recipe for some amazing stories.

Grin I know I ought to have sucker written on my forehead Hmm

I lost my darling old girl last month Sad, and a weird twist of fate had a little of Labradors needing experienced owners. I was subjected to a campaign of wheedling and here she is.

I am not sure I will actually forgive HullyGullyPuppy for causing me to purchase a Maclaren though

LiberteEgaliteFRIGGernite · 14/06/2012 00:28

I'm betting on Wednesday,by which time honey will have given up on the mac...
And will be buying a Yezz.

We have just had a spate of kitten naming.....which has been interesting.....
But where the heck did "HullyGullyPup" come from?!

Honey seems quite persistant though - she persisted with the Bee long after she should have given up.....I think she will take longer to give in....unless it breaks!

I gave everything to that Bee. Even Bugaboo said so.

All our dogs and childrens names end with an y sound. I suggested HulllyGully, and it stuck Grin

Is Purple still there or has she been frightened off?

People have mentioned baby jogger - how about the Summit? Huge wheels for running, suspension for off road, and has the one hand fold of all baby joggers. Would probably bump up steps too Grin
