Pushchairs
Has anyone tried the John Lewis My Child buggy?
LaTrucha · 07/01/2010 16:01
here.
I need a very lightweight foldable pushchair and am wondering whether to get this or the Maclaren Volo.
Alternatively, I could bite the bullet and buy the Baby Jogger Mini City or the Micralite Fastfold.
Opinions please (before I go insane).
Essentially, I need it to get DD into town and back, but to be able to carry it when she wants to walk as I have lost control of my 'big' pushchair twice today while pushing it and herding DD.

If she is quite old then you can get very similar cheaper models that will do the same job. This one here from argos is good. It has a carry strap and also reclines slightly if she still naps sometimes in the pushchair.www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3763605/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CNursery%7C14417537/c_2/3%7 C15701330%7CPushchairs,+prams+and+carriers%7C14417542/c3/4%7Ccat14417542%7CPushchairs%7C14417543.h tm

She is two. It does look better than the John Lewis one. Thanks.

tehehe! spend spend spend! emailed back- the john lewis one is a minger!
LaTrucha · 07/01/2010 16:43
LOL
But you wouldn't approve of me getting another blue pram for DD, now would you? (Like the Chicco one Tutu said).
reallywoundup · 07/01/2010 16:54
try the quicksmart and see if it ticks any boxes first- she may hate it even more than the infinity iyswim. You could always borrow my bug to see whether it's got the x-factor that gets even more stares than the hot pink hauck did!
LaTrucha · 07/01/2010 16:56
Now there's an offer.
Did you get my email about the Micralite?
tutu100 · 07/01/2010 16:58
At 2 for a stroller I probably would spend the least amount possible, but I would have another decent pram for use at other times
LaTrucha · 07/01/2010 17:00
Spending the least amount possible is usually my problem, though. Which is why I'm in a quandry. No. 2 on the way!
nicolamumof3 · 07/01/2010 17:00
Maclaren is best quality stroller you can get imo andi've had a few. the micralite would be nice tho with air tyres at back!
tutu100 · 07/01/2010 17:01
Same one but in pink here and a little bit cheaper than from argos shop. [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHICCO-CT06-STROLLER-PINK-PUSHCHAIR-NEW_W0QQitemZ330392471624QQcmdZViewItemQQ ptZUKBabyBabyTravelPushchairsGL?hash=item4ceced0848#ht1103wt1165]

I would get an obaby. They are good quality and fairly cheap.
LaTrucha · 12/01/2010 22:27
Ah. Didn't see this in time. But O'baby are a bit heavy for what I want and have bought a Silver Cross Fizz (only 4.5k). Snow allowing, it will be here tomorrow!
