Oo Nicola, Norfolk is lovely! The school the boys are in is really good, a lot better than the three local to me. Refuse to send them to the local ones as full of sweary kids with bad attitudes, and my kids aren't like that.

DS3 has just walked in covered in green glitter

Wow Nicola Norfolk. On the coast?
Wonderful countryside.
Ok Superlite has been on the school run.
Feels very light and easy to push.
DD said she was comfy, she liked the recline.
Shopping basket was spacious and easy to access [from the front]
Handle bars not too low but I was kicking the wheels sometimes. Maybe just a question of getting used to it or may have to play with handle position.
Not convinced on the rougher terrain. Took it across grass and it felt just as hard as the quest. Not been through the morning route park yet though.
Folded easily once I had got the hang of it but bulkier than the Quest to carry onto the bus. Standing on it's own is handy.
DD has plenty of room.
Feels a bit gadgety. Lots of knobs, levers, bits and bobs.
Overall a guarded positive. Needs further testing

dunoon your dd has the most beautiful eyes!

like the look of superlite but i don't like look of how their head/shoulders look cramped due to narrowness at top of seat. not sure..

Some of tates school uniform arrived today so he's been trying that on and his teacher visited nursery he's so excited about 'big school'

ordered tom proper school shirts for secondary he's been wearing polo's up until now..shirt and tie time. Got him slim fit shirts from m&s looks so cool!

Ok just spent the last 5 mins trying to get the raincover back in it's bag!
it's an small foldaway one with a springy strip that sits over the widest bit of the seat.

i was talking about my ds1 who's 11. yep their uniform is good i'd say i like their polo's too we struggle to get yellow round here and Tate has to have yellow polo and black trousers. Trousers i get from Next as i like the jean style ones (minimum iron) £6 pair they last tom a whole year and wash up great. his are only just wearing out now. we got plain tee's at £3 a pack too as tate can wear the red ones as pj tops. M&S free del on school uniform only and 3 for 2 so good i'd say

I used to buy DS1's uniform from M&S, but it kept going missing and replaced with Asda/Tesco stuff , so just buy from there now. Although I still like their polo tops as they are lovely and soft.

New York Carrielou?
Superlite performed brilliantly this morning on the school run. Definitly easier to push and better across the park. And it went throught he kissing gate unfolded! Yay!
Thinking of getting a liner now......
Very hot here and am waiting in for a courier to collect the pop.

Morning all, glad superlite performed for you Dunoon, your DD is ever so cute. I can't get to grips with micralites at all

Carrie it is meant to be coming today - do you want to arrange courier for Friday? Or one day next week? Need to get DH in the loft to get the box, it only went up there last week hee hee.

We are off to my parents later to watch the football with my Dad who has booked the afternoon off and my Mum is doing food yum!
