So do I go for a 2nd hand Tecno XT or a new something else? Anyone tried a Mutsy Easyrider, Jane Be Cool or Hauck Spirit?

After my previous post I'm almost convinced that I want the Maclaren. But... as its really just for a spare/car buggy I don't want to spend much more than £100. Having been disappointed in the past with a buggy off EBay, I've been looking at some others I could get new.

Really like the look of the Hauck with its big hood, but not sure if they're a good make or not? And I liked the Mutsy but then watched a YouTube clip of it and it looked a bit flimsy! The Jane looks a good price but seems to have mixed reviews.

Any thoughts, lovely pushchair experts?!

Lost my post, i'll paraphrase. Had a be cool (not umbrella style) pushchair, quality was fair to good in line with price. Had 3 hauck products, 2 had to be returned due to quality issues - lumpy wheels, creaky frames, resistant wheels. Mutsy - no real idea, have seen in shop, looks spindly, not always bad. Have a look online at the joovy groove maybe? Haven't seen one, just looks good, good price, good reviews.

Thanks, the Joovy looks really good, I like the big hood and pockets, and yes the reviews seem very good. Hadn't heard of them before but definitely one to consider!

They mainly sell the sit and stand ones in the uk, i've neved heard anything bad about those quality wise.

For a throw in the car stroller look at the Chicco London

Thanks, will check those out too.
Have also come across the Petite Star Zia 4 which I like as it doesn't look like a stroller! ( am not a stroller fan, but needs must! :) ) Only thing is it doesn't seem to have any sort of footrest, so don't know if that will be annoying when DS is a bit older. Or are they ok to just dangle?!
