I'm expecting baby no.3 in Oct and looking for a new pushchair. With no.1 I had a M&P Pliko Pramette, which I liked at the time but got fed up with the bulk of car seat on top of pushchair and I wanted a car seat with isofix so traded in for a Silver Cross Surf....loved this, easy to push, lovely looking but I'm over the two part fold with other kids gear in the boot (bike or scooter for my eldest) and shopping basket was useless, far too small.
So been in the lookout for another (gonna sell my Surf on ebay, where I bought it for a bargain too!)....totally love the look of the icandy strawberry but haven't been able to get my hands on one to try and the expected delivery dates seem to keep getting extended (ive heard most recently after warehouse thefts there's now some legal dispute with their manufacturer in China- anyone else hear this or is it true?).
I'm wondering whether to go order blind and hope it appears on time (anyone had an update?) or think of alternatives (but havent found any I love anywhere near as much to date :-( )....thoughts????
I'm not desperate for it since I can hold on to my surf but wud really like it to be there in time so it is this baby's buggy!
I really want:
light (one of my fave features of strawberry)
Compact- folds with seat, the smaller the better!
Maxi cosi adaptors - not buying new car seat!
Stylish- I want a pretty buggy that's functional too
Not too low (thats what put me off the Bee)
Also anyone know if strawberry can take a buggy board for my 2yo or know of a good buggy that can be converted to double that still fits with what I'm looking (I don't think my 2yo will be in buggy for much longer but if there was an option out there then great....saw the baby jogger city
Select but was put off by weight given I'm not even sure I need a double)
Phew long post, sorry, being picky I know but now I know what I want from learning from the last 2 want to see what's out there.
All advice/thoughts gratefully received!!!
