pram/pushchair suggestions please pramaholics :)

[hairymclary]

we currently have a monster pushchair for ds which is very lovely but we're trying for number 2 so i am thinking of selling it.
ds will be coming up for 3 when baby is born (if i get pg this month lol) so we won't need a double. but i will need something that is easy-ish to steer with one hand and not too heavy.

was looking at the loola and jane carrera but they're really just super-strollers aren't they? rather than a nice comfy pushchair.
the one we have at the moment has fab suspension and air wheels but it's just too big and heavy if i have a toddler to chase as well.

I do like the look of some of the other bebe confort pushchairs but I'm just not sure what to do.
also had a look at the urban detour 3 wheelers and quinny speedi.
but need some expert advice lol. I definitely can't afford bugaboo prices and am not THAT keen on m&p (though maybe persuaded). I just want something really comfy for the baby, but easy to use

3 wheelers with a front swivel are the easiest to push one handed and many have carrycot bits.

loola is heavy and not possible to steer one handed.

urban detours are easy to steer but heavey to lift into car etc.

can you afford a 2nd hand old style mountain buggy? and add an older style carrycot with new mattess? there was one listed last week for £160.

I've just bought a silver cross 3D and although baby hasn't arrived yet I am really very keen on it. It has a matress insert so baby can face you which is very thick and nicely padded. The pushchair also recline fully flat (although with baby facing forwaed) It is a similar size and weigt to the loola. I went for it as I didn't want a M and P but lots of people on here love them.
My only complaint at the moment would be the car seat is large - so much that it didn't fit our car!

yes, hadn't thought of mountain buggy, will have a look on ebay at those as well (my watch list is growing longer and longer lol)

Micralites are an absolute breeze one-handed

is there anything that has a rear-facing seat that would match my criteria as wel?

bebeconfort trophy air i think. katymac was selling a bebe confort earlier, looks good!

katymac

yeah am watching a bebe confort trophy air on ebay atm.
will have a look at katymacs too, thanks

what is your budget?

well, it depends partly on how much I sell the current one for, and how much more I can get dh to part with lol
I guess around £150 max if it was the perfect pushchair, but hopefully less

watching this on ebay

are you ok buying second hand? some people prefer new.

thats nice

is this thw one you can fit a toddler seat on the handle?

spelling mistake in title, might do to keep watch on this one

yeah second hand fine as long as it's in good nick.

ooh crafty. you've done this before haven't you? lol

migth be, but not sure as the site only have the latest model on.

i am a pramaholic (who also cant spell lol)

hairymclary - yes, that adventure buggy is the one a toddler seat can attach to on top. you can also attach one on the front if you like (i think emmaljunga do ones like that)

abc buggy co buggys v good quality. same build quality as mountain buggy i reckon...

this is one ugly buggy. but only 4kg!!!!!

not thinking of buying it btw lol, just saw it and thought how weird it was

lol we have already laughed about that on the buggy boards.

i have emailed ABC for you about that 3 wheeler

aww thanks, that's really kind

i belive they are the same people who deigned the e3. they like toddler seats lol.
