link{http://www.kiddicare.com/invt/bugbbdanttipstokmntgry?N= 373\this one was recommended to me the other night} - check out my Techno XT thread. It has an anti-tip feature which sounds good for all of your shopping hanging on the handles (or at least the baby that won't get tipped out!!!). I personally am still hankering over a Maclaren Techno XT but it has a £150+ price tag...

better in my opinion than the graco mosaic and mojo- both of the graco ones are a bit shoddy manufacturing wise!

The diablo flies out of the door in our shops- there are three colours, Pitch, Pesto and berry, pitch is obv most popular but the berry is a fabbo colour for a girl as its not too pink!

wishingfourgotone · 18/06/2007 14:09

Thanks for pushchair advice, how much will i be looking at need something not to costly as have a zapp less than two months old so dp not to happy wanting new one!
Are they easy to fold dd 1 and will stand holding my leg whilst fold zapp!
Ps still me just new name

nearlythere · 18/06/2007 14:11

the diablo is between 100 and 150 depending on where you get it, but that includes the footmuff and raincover.

wishingfourgotone · 18/06/2007 14:32

I do like the look of the diablo but its similar to my cheap stroller.
where would i get one?
How easy do they fold?
I currently have
Graco comfort tracker (three wheel static front wheel)
Quinny zapp
Argos chicco stoller
What do you think of the graco citisport?

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 18/06/2007 14:35

I would go for the maclaren XTR

nearlythere · 18/06/2007 14:57

oh citisport is fab- fold it up and fling it over yor shoulder- i still have one for holidays etc!

wishingfourgotone · 18/06/2007 16:50

Thelittlesoldiersmummy, dp doesnt like the maclaren strollers, so not allowed one of those and as he funding my bad habit needs to be one he doesnt mind thanks anyway!

nearlythere, was thinking of mosaic but dp not keen on how it folds he was ok with folding citisport though and it fits all my spec so i think this will prob be pushchair no 7!!! (currently only have three but new one will be 7th in 1y)
Thanks for your help ladies

accessorizewithbabysick · 18/06/2007 22:50

Yup, citisport ticks everything on your list, I have one at my mums. My ds is 3.6 and still fits in it (although it's a struggle to push), nice large basket, lies quite flat too. Has a strap to carry over your shoulder, which is handy.

AllBuggiedOut · 18/06/2007 22:56

I reckon you need something you can steer with one hand for shopping so you can carry armfulls of clothes (or whatever!) with the free hand, and rear facing so you easiy lcan see what your lo is swiping off the shelves

wishingfourgotone · 19/06/2007 10:57

thanks my dd is 1 an loves to walk holding my hand (not solo walker yet) or pushing pushchair.
would love rear facing but they all seem very heavy hard to fold!
Definatly thinking of the citisport
