I've got a Mutsy Spider. I love it. The seat is really high up and the coasytoes is really cosy, wraps DD right up to her chin.

Downside is the teeny weeny basket underneath.
You need 2 hands to put it up from folded though I can manage it if I hold dd like a rugby ball.

I really wanted a Zapp but needed the reclining seat. I saw a couple of Zapps recently and they seemed a bit rattley

The verve looks fab! I want one but DP says its not worth it as DD is nearly 16 months now. On a practical level I agree but it doesn't stop me wanting one!

And I like that you can remove the hood and just have a parasol on really hot days

steer clear of zapp- verve is fab!

PS i stock them all but am in the middle of wales- if thats any help then let me know!! lol

I have a zapp, wouldn't go out and buy one new if you can get something else

sammysam · 16/04/2007 14:46

Nearlythere-where abouts-might be worth coming up just so i can make my mind up

Lact8-which one does that-spider or verve?

Zapp was my original choice but i keep hearing that there are probs so trying to find a better one!

I've got a Micralite, it's fantastic. Light and easy to fold. Big wheels at the back mean you can bump up steps, I feel very smart using the tube and not having to look around desperately hoping someone will help.

quinny zapp

Terrible pram
rickety
baby slumps in it
no bag
rubbish to steer
TIPS-OVER-REALLY-EASILY

imo best avoided

scottishmummy . . . I agree

£100 delivered incl proect a bub, its navy, not much used (grandparents, and they live 100 miles away).

i might have a cosytoes hanging around somewhere. if so lollysmummy might be interested. should make it clear though that not looking to "sell" the cosytoes as part of the package. If I find it, as a goodwill gesture and cos i have no use for it, i'd send it on free. but really can't promise-its in my loft, a scary place!

i have a listing under the for sale bit

Fillyjonk · 16/04/2007 16:49

oh and raincover

Lact8 · 16/04/2007 22:24
