I'm looking for a pushchair for my 18mo I want one that is black, has a bar handle to push rather than two handles, folds small, has an okay sized basket and goes up to a higher weight than 15kg just in case. I just want it to last as long as possible. Our quinny which I hate has given up on us after 18 months so we definitely don't want another quinny!
Max price we're looking at is £150.

Feels impossible!
Any recommendations?

Thanks!

A friend of mine was on a similar quest and finally bought the Mountain Buggy Mini which she is very happy with. The cheapest price for that seems to be about £179 though so a bit beyond your max. Maybe look at the mountain buggy nano which is a bit cheaper? Presumably that lower price translates to less good features though.

Do you want one that can fold to cabin size? I think you’ll struggle if that is the case. I wouldn’t worry about the weight limit as it isn’t like car seats where it’s be physically unsafe to have a child over the weight limit. We had a buggy with a 15kg limit and DC was over the weight limit the whole time we used it and it still lasted 4 years (SN).

If you do want cabin size then under £150 its unlikely they’d have a 15kg+ weight limit.

Diono traverse
Phil and Ted’s go (check with airline, fits in some)
Joie pact
Mountain buggy nano (usually more expensive, currently on sale for £110)

Bigger than cabin size there’s more options and I believe some of them have a higher weight limit. What with Black Friday quite a few on sale right now
Silver cross Avia
Joie Tourist
Chicco ohlalah
Graco breaze

Thank you both so much. I had a good look at all of those you suggested. I like the silver cross Avia but I read that the fold was tricky. We mainly wanted small folding as we don't have a wide hallway so storing a pram is a nightmare. We went with the micralite ProFold which was on a Black Friday deal for 150 down from 275! I'd looked at it in the past but ruled it out because of the cost so I'm very happy.

I've got the nano and hate it, it's really hard to push
