Say for example at a National Trust property?

I'm thinking of getting one as our second lightweight buggy.
There is a good deal on ebay at the moment

We haven't gone 'off road' as such, but it seems to be able to take a bit of a battering if that helps?

Aha I thought of putting a call out for you as I remembered you has one. Is george out of the carry cot bit yet? how are you finding the recline??

Ours could definitely handle very well in gentle off road situations - I'm sure it would be fine visiting an NT property - not sure how great it would be if you went orienteering, but I used to take it down onto the beach (pebbles here) fairly regularly - but I'd tip it up just on to the big back wheels to do it. I loved our MIcralite - It's so easy to manoever - you can push and steer it very well one handed too - important with toddlers.

Sorry Peachy, been awol for a few days!

Yes George is out of the carry cot now, he actually looks quite uncomfortable in the seat bit if I'm honest, but he loves it! it puts him in a good position to be able to see what is going on, it obviously doesn't go flat, but it does recline quite far and he sleeps in it no problem (when he has finished nosing about!!)

We've had no problem with ours, and I wouldn't swop it for the world, I can remember just how much trouble DS1's Graco was, and the difference is amazing!!
