A friend loaned me her pram when I first had my baby, who is now 6 months old. She now needs it back and I need to purchase a new pushchair. From what I've learned in the past 6 months is that I want something that has a really simple fold (one handed if poss), lightweight (I'm 5'2) but built well, wheels that can deal with a bit more than just pavement (Babyzen Yoyo and Bugaboo Ant wheels seem a bit tooo small), and parent and world facing. And has the option to have a carrycot added down the line - if we decide to have baby number 2.
I have looked and looked and looked. The one that I think ticks all those boxes (kind of) is the Mamas and Papas Flip X2 or X3. But it looks like people have issue with the underneath shopping bag dragging on the floor, which isn't massively appealing. A lot of the second hand ones have peeling handlebars too which makes me wonder how well made they are. And it's also 11kg, which to me isn't really lightweight - even though it's marketed as that.
The pram we have to give back to my friend is the Citi Mini GT - which is great for the one fold open, but it's not parent facing and I also find the 3 wheel thing a bit wobbly, especially when getting off buses and trains.
Your thoughts and experiences much appreciated! Thank you :)
