Stroller

[BforBrenda]

I'm about to adopt an 18 months old boy. We live in the country and I have a large dog. I'm looking for a stroller that I can take out for walks with the child and dog but especially one where the child is facing towards me . Struggling to find this types of strollers any ideas – thanks

do you have a budget op? maybe something like this?

An out n about nipper would fit that brief perfectly. Light, excellent suspension but a seat big enough to accommodate a growing child. They're so easy to push you can have dog lead in one hand and push with the other.

Oh sorry just seen you want parent facing due to adopted child. Ignore my post!

A bugaboo donkey or fox might do the trick. Very expensive new though

Have you considered using a baby carrier instead of a pushchair? I found it much easier over uneven ground.

With an 18 month old you would probably have to build up your strength by doing shorter walks to start with.

The baby jogger Versa GT is fab, nice and rugged and parent facing. Massive seat too, lasted us until Ds was 4.

Joie Chrome DLX?

Bugaboo donkey can be facing you or facing the other way. We bought ours 2nd hand, and sold it on once we were done with it - they keep their value surprisingly well.

Second hand bugaboo buffalo (or get a new one from bugaboo outlet reduced as they've replaced it with the Fox now)

You want to look at pushchairs which are suitable from birth, or travel systems, and then just buy without the carrycot and car seat parts.

Strollers are normally lightweight basic versions which are no good for off-road anyway.
