Has anyone tried the John Lewis My Child buggy?

[LaTrucha]

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.

Oh yes the lightest one Obaby do is 6.4kg

[LaTrucha]

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!

[nappyaddict]

I would get an obaby. They are good quality and fairly cheap.

[maxybrown]

Nope maclaren still better quality!

Thanks Tutu.

just replied! not sure of colour and precious little ones are doing cheap micralites atm.

[tutu100]

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]

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!

[LaTrucha]

Spending the least amount possible is usually my problem, though. Which is why I'm in a quandry. No. 2 on the way!

[tutu100]

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]

Now there's an offer.

Did you get my email about the Micralite?

[reallywoundup]

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]

LOL

[LaTrucha]

LOL

But you wouldn't approve of me getting another blue pram for DD, now would you? (Like the Chicco one Tutu said).

[reallywoundup]

tehehe! spend spend spend! emailed back- the john lewis one is a minger!

[LaTrucha]

Is it worth going for a more expensive one?

[LaTrucha]

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

[tutu100]

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
