PLEEEEEEASE??? We rehomed a dog from another MNer yesterday and now we are desperately looking for a 3 wheeler cos my maclaren didn't take too well to the bumps walking up the hills today!! They all seem so bloody heavy though. It will need to be pretty rugged though, but easy to steer as will be holding on to the dog at the same time as puching dd. Thanks.

Superjogger by BabyJogger - they are US made - google it and you'll pull up the website and then go on e-bay and pick one up second hand in the UK. Had mine for 8 years and it is still going strong. Could not walk my dog without it - I can lift it over stiles, it survives ploughed fields. I have had had small babe in back pack, eldest riding inside and middle one riding on the footplate, dog on hands free training lead. "We are family!" I know lots of others who love them too. Suggest min of 12 inch wheel. BOL (with lab too!) PS was seriously tempted myself by that dog, hope she is settling well

We have a Mountain Buggy Terrain that could do these things. It's not as light as the lightest pram, but it's very solid and practical. Oh, and all the fabric bits come off, go in the washing machine and go back on the pram!

Ours is nearly 6 years old, has been used for loads of walking and is still going strong.

i like the look of the mountain buggies but they are soooo expensive!! DH likes them too but not sure we can warrant spending that much on a pushchair. (much as we would like to!!)

Well, one good pushchair is cheaper than several you wear out? Maybe you can find one on ebay?

I love my P&T, take it everywhere, along sea front, on sand, up hills on mud, its lightweight and a dream to push, I've had more or less every pram other than a mountain buggy which I'm told are very good.

I'm a pramoholic but can honestly say my P&T has been in use for the last 8 6months and I'm not on the look out for another model.
