Any one used the First Wheels elite, does it like buses?

I am still looking for something that is easy to fold to get onto the bus. But also good enough to trek on foot to the supermarket etc and carry a decent amount. Must be forward facing - any advice at all?

So far as i know it can't fold at all with the seat on. Which would make it no good for on the bus (because you'd need something that would fold incase another passenger with a wheelchair got on).

Thanks MM

Have managed to get a second hand frog now as although the seat has to come off, it is light enough to do with bub in sling.

Where I live I am always first on the bus so always fold the pliko so others can get on, then when trying to get it off at the other end all the other mums push their prams off, as no one else bothers - even if others need to get on - grr - and then look at me like I am a total dick ... so at least -hopefully- the bugaboo will make this process easier.

I really hope I get on with it - I do love my Pliko

aaaarg have spent too much time at mother and baby today - I used the bub word

Frog sounds fab. Good luck! I rarely use the bus. Have a bee but am worried it'll end up with other buggies and walking frames stacked on it when i put it folded in luggage bay. Doh!

I would not advise the First Wheels for the bus and have put people off of buying this pushchair for the bus in my baby shop where we stock them. If your looking for an ideal pushchair for the bus then i would put my money on the Baby jogger City Mini which is what I advise all of my bus using parents ) If you visit the Baby Jogger website it shows how easily and small it folds. It has two shopping baskets, one on the back of the seat and another in the usual place and they are bigger than they used to be. I hope this is of some help to you.
