tell me about your E3

[spinach]

thinking of maybe getting an E3 and will use it as toddler and newborn. Not sure if i need it... toddler will be 3 when babe arrives. Anyone know what the weight limits are? Also, the hood looks really low if you have the toddler in the front seat...?
Have you had any problems with yours? can you reccommend it?

I have an E3 too and generally get on very well with it. Agree with the trying to stear with one hand though, but may be easier if you fix the front wheel, which I havent tried, you have the option of having it fixed or swivel.

We did look at the Emmaljunga but the toddler seat recommended weight was ridiculous. I have an 18 month old age gap and my very skinny 18 month old was too heavy.

The \link{http://www.abcbuggy.co.nz/products.html\Adventure Buggy Company} do a 3-wheeler with a toddler seat on top. There is an email address for buying them in the UK.

Or you can get a \link{http://www.babybirds.co.uk/StrolliRider.php\bike attachment} for your 3-yr-old!

I'm very pleased with my e3 and second the positive comments made by jenthehen and others.

My dd1 is nearly 3 and loves sitting in the e3. dd2 is nearly 1 and we had her lying flat for the first 4 months; then switched her to the back seat and she is still very happy to sit in it. She often goes to sleep and the fact that the seat doesn't recline isn't a problem - she's sitting at about the same angle she would be in a car seat.

The hood isn't a problem, though dd1 does feel a bit claustrophobic when the raincover is on.

Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

That bike attachment thingy is very interesting! I have never seen anything quite like that for a pushchair before!!!!!

It says it is suitable from 18 months My 22 month old would NOT be safe on one of those!

The children in the photo look as if they are leaning forward as well - uncomfortable surely?
