Rear facing pushchairs

geordiemacminx · 11/11/2007 20:25

DS is 6 months and is starting to prefer pushchair rather than car seat attached to travel system.

Having been looking at Buzz's, Icandy cherrys and apples and also Hauck Infinity's.

Can anyone recommend any of these, or suggest something else?

I really want something that I'm going to love, as hopefully it will last a good few years. I dont go off road or anything like that, have a ford focus so it would need to fit in poot although I have never had any problems fitting in M&P pramette.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

agree re the knack of folding a bug - it drives my dp nuts but I can do it in seconds

Why the need for lie flat nappyaddict?
Once they're in the seat unit, they're usually close to 6 mths and the incy recline is no bother at all... you can use the carrycot up til that point.

And the prob with non bugaboo bugs is they are really heavy. Mutsy seat lies flatter tho as not a bucket seat. Most of the rear facing ones are I think? Chicco ahve new ones out but I haven't seen one in flesh. The new vigours look good theo 3+ or 4+ bigger setas and better recline I think too. Not that looking for the perfect pram makes you obsessional ;)

tried ds in them and they are all bucket seats. he was really uncomfortable lying with his feet in the air and won't go to sleep unless he is flat. bought a lightweight stroller for him when he was about 12 months (it said it was from 6 months) and he just will not sleep in it so we had to get one that was suitable from birth.

first city wheels was another no go for us because of the bucket seat and again only being suitable from 6 months.

he was ok in the mutsy but it doesn't fold in one piece.

Had a bee for while and it was fab, if money was no object (or I mainly drove) I'd have a bee in the car and my frog for walking.

i'd love a bee.

I know what you mean about the bucket seat, my dd1 was the same. The Loola has a really nice flatish seat, I think its the best reversible seat pushchair out there, as it folds with the seat attached.

we borrowed one off a friend and i found it really difficult to push in rear facing as ds got older.

also all the bebe confort pushchairs are only suitable from 6 months. there's the xplory but again that is from 6 months. the chicco for me is from 3 months though.
