Alpine Stroller from Toys R Us

Has anyone got this stroller? It is suitable from birth and has a raincover etc and only £69. I am just getting my old travel system from Graco out of the garage to clean for the new baby and realise how bulky and annoying this is. I dont want to splash out on a whole new travel system so this stroller looks good.

I'd like to know what its like for ease of use, folding, positions etc.

Thanks in advance

I have it and love it. Very lightweight, easy to use. Folds as umbrella stroller but really is a one handed foldShock I use it for DD [3mths] and ds 2.5yrs and I really havent had any problems.

Meant to add it is as good as the maclaren techno as the wheels are chunky but for half the price.

Once again it's you Nemo who comes to my rescue - thank you!

hi hockeymum. It goes quite flat and the leg rest adjust aswell which is fantastic for that inbetween stage. It goes as flas as the graco prams etc and is very cosy with the footmuff that will also be a pram liner if you zip the front off.

I don't have the alpine but i do have the toledo which is exactly the same and I love it but am selling due to the fact I have an emense need for the mutsy spider so need to sell all my buggies to get this one.

mine has done 2 1/2 yrs of daily use so far and is still running. Used from dd1 was 6mths, nearly three and uses it once a week now.

though have now got a maclaren xt for dd2 - for only reason of the handle height - it has another 4cms than the alpine and much better for the taller person and my back!
