Ok, I am a pain about the forward facing 3 wheeler. Thought I'd found the answer with the Platon thing but the folding sounds bad.

I need to be able to fold and store in the house, not so bothered about the boot but don't want to be manoeuvring a giant heavy thing into my understairs cupboard twice a day.

So, now I think I have found the ideal thing. The Bebe COnfort High Trek. but: nobody seems to stock them other than websites. Does anybody have one/know where I can get one? I've read reviews but they were all in French as it seems very popular there, so if anybody has any views on it I'd be very happy to here them. I can speak French but for some reason would like some UK input!

hi, i don't have one so can't really comment!

had a look at it and it does look pretty cool... though it's still over 13kg which can't be much different than the platon?

I have the i'coo platon 4 wheeler which is blimmin heavy, but have no issues with the folding at all..

what did you specifically want in your pushchair? are there any alternatives you could get that you might be able to see in the flesh?

it's quite similar to \link{http://www.mothercare.com/invt/la0471\this} isn't it?

I don't have the same one but do have the older everest which it replaced. It folds really easily, although I do have to take the wheels off to fit it in the car but this is really easy as well. The everest it pretty heavy though and I think the high trek is supposed to be heavier.
Don't know how well the high trek will fold when the seat is rear facing though as looking at there website it seems to be folded with the seat forward facing.

what I want is a forward facing 3 wheeler that i can fold up fairly easily to store in the understairs cupbaord which is where ti will have to live I think as my hallway is too narrow to have it upright. Also want a shopping basket so Quinny Buzz is no good. I hope it folds up like the Loola, which you can fold with the seat eitehr way without taking it off. Maybe I'll just have to accept the weight and build up my biceps. I'm boring myself now as well as everybody else so I will maybe just go for it.

I don;t think the Jane one faces backwards though it looks good.

Hi Starlover,

After umming and aahing over it for ages I have gone with the majority vote and bought the icoo. part of my reasoning was I wanted the red one (pathetic really) but I found a beige and maroon coloured i'coo. And it is £100 cheaper. Given she's one already she's not going to be using it for that long really so I am pleased I've got the cheaper one. Now don't need to think about it anymore. Hooray!
