being a first time mum and an overwhelming introduction to the world of prams/pushchairs, we have finally narrowed down our choice to a bugaboo gecko (or) an icandy Apple 3 whhel jogger.....but are finding it near impossible to come to a final decision..help!!! they are both about the same in terms of foldability and the amount of boot/storage space. The gecko is much lighter than the apple, and is multi-terrain (we love our music festivals and beach walks) but the handle is at a fixed height (i'm only 4ft 11), the brake is difficult to apply and which? only gives it 43%. The Apple is heavier, but the handle adjusts easily, shopping basket is easily accessible and baby/toddler is a lot closer than in the gecko where the carrycot feels really low down. Which? gives it 79%.
As a typical female i prefer the way the apple looks but want to make the right decision for more practical reasons...especially as both are so expensive (around £600 inc maxi cosi car seat)My partner has left the final decision to me and i completely stuck!! Any advice would be hugely appreciated! Thanks!!
