[drosophila]

Thanks.

mamas and papas Mamu £99 or ebay

asda had some for £40 apparently!

Graco Expedition £89.99 (beware fixed front wheel though)
Cheapest Urban Detour £99.99
Maclaren MX3 or Fisher Price Trekker both £150

ebay defo

(NB prices I gave were from mainstream retailers eg mothercare and Argos - obviously they'll be cheaper elsewhere)

car boot sales are often full of them

I got one from Littlewoods for £99 - still going strong two years on

How bad is a fixed wheel?

i've got an urban detour xtreme for sale!!!

our 3 wheeler has a fixed wheel at the front. once you get used to it, its fine, no problems at all. in fact. i have a buggy, a loola, and the 3 wheeler is the one i use the most. ds goes in it for the school run every day.

fixed is harder to steer in tight spaces eg round town and has a much bigger turning circle, though fine if only for long walks

def worth the extra £10 IMO

Baby - How much and where are you?

ANother question.....DD is 2.5 and the micralite has died. I love the Micralite except for the front wheels. A real design flaw. Anyway how long do you think I will need a buggy. SHe goes to a nursery about 20mins walk away for an adult.

i'd take £50 the lot includes evrything cosytoes, raincover, pump, seat,as in mothercare!!! oh i'm in kent

How far into Kent? I live in Sth London.

i'm in ashford but my dp works near liverpool street

WHy are you getting rid of it?

fixed wheel is utter pain in arse on pavements etc. false economy there, in case you are wondering.

My parents have a mothercare urban detour which they want to get rid of. They also have the matching coseytoes and raincover. It is a sort of grey dogtooth check.

They bought it about three years ago when they used to look after DS1 for me on a Friday. But it is absolutely immaculate as they used it for less than a year. In fact it is still in the original box.

as my little boy is now 14 months and has a maclaren , and its time for it to go , no more dc for me for a while!!!! but its a great pushchair.

i can send you some piccies if you're interested!!!! will check back later!!!

Baby I will think about it. Your comment about your ds being 18mths has made me think as dd is 30mths. Perhaps I should be looking for something a little smaller. I like the big wheels though - less rolling resistance.

I had the Graco Expedition and loved it. My ds will be 4 in December and he quite liked it too! You get used to the fixed wheel and it is simple to fold down and very very lightweight. A dream to push.

Dh managed (how I will never know) to break the handle on it and I have reverted to a normal stroller, which is pants in comparison.

hes only just 14 months but he is almost the same size as my nearly 4 year old son, yes hes very tall size 5 shoes too. got maclaren cos it was cheap.ok let me know thats no prob.
