Early days yet but looking at buggies. Ideally we'd like it to meet the following criteria:
- Longevity - something that would see us through from birth to toddler would be good.
- Good on public transport - easy to get on and off buses. Compact enough to fold and store on a train's luggage rack either at the end of the carriage or overhead.
- Lightweight - so that when it's folded, I have half a chance of being able to lift it onto said luggage rack! And so it's not too heavy to push up hills as there are plenty where we live.
- Easy / one hand fold - so it's possible to fold whilst holding the baby.
- Lots of storage space for shopping, coats, bags etc.
- Durable - will mainly be used in urban environment but occasionally countryside, beaches etc.
- Handle height that is suitable for me (5 foot) and DH (6 foot).
The closest I have found to these criteria are the Baby Jogger City Mini which seems to be ok from birth, although isn't parent-facing - is that ok?
Has anyone got experience of this and would you recommend?
Do you know of any other buggies that would meet the wish list above?
