Hello This is my first post Smile We are expecting first dc and are looking for some pushchair advice.

Basically we live in a second floor flat at the moment. Storing the pushchair downstairs isn't going to be an option and neither is DP bringing it upstairs at the end of the day as he works till very late most nights. I'm looking for a very lightweight pushchair that is easy to get up and down the stairs.

Ideally I would like something that can be a pram at the beginning and would really prefer something with a parent facing option. Also, I don't drive and need something that is fairly easy to get on trains and good to walk with (urban not countryside) Easy to fold is important and ideally an adjustable handle would be good (i'm 5ft0)

A further complicating factor is that we are likely to move from our flat when baby is between 2.5/6 months and although chances are it will be to a house I can't rule out it being another flat so something that will be pretty lightweight with and good with and older baby/toddler would be good too. I am prepared though to just get a cheaper umbrella stroller at some point if that is easier.

Am looking at the Cosatto Giggle as something that seems to do everything that we are looking for. Has anyone any experience with it? Would it be a good option. Looking at similar threads I did look at the Bugaboo Bee as a good urban pushchair but not sure if I like the cocoon for newborns and there is a massive price difference between this and the Giggle. The Giggle is £300 for pram/pushcair and some other bits.

Any thoughts or other recommendations would be really appreciated. Sorry for the long post

[quote kerrywoo]I really liked the look of this and bought one for our first born with some money my gran had left me.
It seemed to be ok at first but on only the 4th use it has broken. I haven't been using it much as advised to rest from the cesarean.

We haven't been anywhere but on pavement with it.
The front wheel collapsed as I was pushing it over a tarmac'd car park. The pram above collapsed with the frame and toppled to the ground. It was an extremely frightening experience for me and my two week old baby.

This is a serious design flaw and Cosatto need to fix it. The wheel is clearly not strong enough and there is no safety feature if it fails.
