I have one. I bought it second hand on ebay a few years ago. Unfortuntaley, when i moved into London it would not fit in the lift of my new flat so I have had to put it into storage, but I would love to still be using it. ONly for walking of course - it would be insane to try and use it on public transport.

When I bought it I was living in Essex and there was someone else with one just down the road from me. But you don't see them often anymore.

The people who i used to nanny for have one, and still use it for 18month old. They live in a lovely house right by the sea and use it to go up and down the 'prom' which is effectivel opposite their house!

I used to get lots of (positive) comments when people saw me out with it, (mainly from older people who were so pleased to see one again!)

Must be a nightmare to fit in the car tho!

i'm 25 and iwould use one. i was bidding on an old silvercross on ebay when dd3 was due. went waay to high for me tho.

my mum threw her old one out just before i got pg with ds!!! i was gutted... had been telling her for years to hang onto it in case i ever needed it!!!!

i am 25, and would definitely use one. We looked at buying one when we got ds's pram, but it just would have been impractical (we live in a flat/didn't have a big enough car)

absolutely great if you do a lot of walking, but bear in mind you will need a big car to get it in, and won't be able to use it on public transport.

we had a smaller pram and Linus still goes in it at my mums, he sits up in it
