Pushchairs
Lightweight stroller suggestions for a 7 month old please. Approx. £150 budget. :-)

Ok, With my older 3 children I always end up with a Maclaren Quest. Was going to try and steer away from a Maclaren but I want to be happy with my choice. (I am hard to please!)
I ordered a Micralite Superlite about a month ago but sent it back as I wasn't keen on the way it looked (lol!) it did everything I needed it to do!
I do like the look of the Maclaren XT in black but out of my price range unless I can buy from somewhere with a discount code.
So, any suggestions on any lightweight strollers etc... please. For a 7 month old. Maybe not necessarily lightweight just a smaller buggy to use alongside our big pram.

Maclaren every time. We are so happy with ours. They come with a free lifetime guarentee now too.

The M&P beat is very good. I bought one a year ago & its great. Easy to use, sturdy & fairly lightweight. I wouldn't be without it.
Here you go.

And there's £20 off black & £30 off Indigo & Pink at the moment. Bargain!

Is the babyjogger city mini under £150? Always gets good reviews. These sorts of threads usually come down to bcjm v Maclaren! We have a quest for our 10 month old.

Maclaren.
Had M&P buggies previously but the wheels wore out ridiculously fast - the maclaren ones seem to be lasting really well.

I was going to look at the BJCM as it is always being mentioned on here!
I have just found the Silver Cross Pop Sport for £100, anyone had a Silver Cross Pop.
Am off to look at City Mini's!
Any other suggestions??

We have a different version of www.mamasandpapas.com/product-frankie-pushchair-mushy-peas/1015654/type-i/ this. It's not particularly lightweight, but it's excellent to steer, DS is very comfortable in it, and I LOVE ours. I find it easier than Maclarens to push, can easily push it one handed (really easily)
What I like best about it is that nobody else has one

The City Mini is around £199 its beats the Maclaren hands down the City Micro is around £150 but doesn't recline

Mac Quest here,my 3yr old still has plenty of room if she wants to ride.
I had a pop and found the shoulder straps were in a strange position and it was heavy to push.
I have heard that the ziko's are fab for little ones but not so great for older toddlers.
O'baby strollers are said to be very good quality for the money,and they have some pretty fabrics.The vintage rose one in grey is lovely.

I wouldn't like to spend much on a stroller, as they usually get quite a battering. Espically when DS stands up on it and starts jumping lol. I purchased a Hauck one 6 months ago from koochycoo and its standing up to the test. Easy to fold down, nice to push.
