Silver Cross Pop

[DizzyCow63]

Has anyone got one and is it any good? There's one on my local Gumtree for £30, it's for my Aunt as she looks after DS when I am working. We had bought her a Graco U'Go brand new and we've used it this weekend for the first time, it's horrible, really feels heavy to push and horrible to steer, also 99th centile DS looks too big for seat, he's only walking a month so will need a buggy for a while yet, plus he naps in it at Aunts house too.

I've got one. I find it really awkward to push with a heavy toddler (DS1 is massive & at 2.5yo I kept kicking the back when I pushed him in it) but currently using it quite a lot for DS2 (5 months) and it is much easier with him on board! I think the main issue for me is that I am very tall and although the pop has nice high handles the back wheels are pretty much directly under them so not much room for a long stride. It might not be such an issue if your mil is a more normal height!

It reclines far enough for a nap. I like the fact that the raincover fits in the hood pocket and also covers the whole hood so the pram itself stays pretty dry. There is a good viewing window in my hood too although mine is quite an old model (dark grey denim) The leg support thing adjusts fully which is good.

It's a bit crap on any kind of uneven terrain. But then it is just a stroller!

One other thing is that you can't "bump" it down stairs, as the brake levers are just by the wheels in a position that means they either get stuck on the step, or brake the wheels and bring the whole thing to a halt. Apart from that, what Grumpla said. The leg rest bit is good as you can put it right out to horizontal and good for napping.
