any suggestions? I love my Silver Cross big pushchair, but my faithful little chicco is beginning to , um, show signs of wear... I fancy something different for my "car" buggy. Any suggestions.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if I do not check in till tomorrow - ds being wee b*er!

there is the quinny buzz, but doesnt recline and fairly wide rear wheels. i have a luna. it folds flat but is still quite wide. i love mine, only drawback is the harness doesnt come throught the back of the seat iyswim.
but apart from that i love it.
could try one of those micralites but not sure how much they are.
i also had a presto, folds like a umbrella and looks like a zapp, kind of!
that was good apart from the front wheels bent over if they wernt facing the right way.

if you do go and test drive them in the shops, just remember they floors ofthese places are smooth so all of them will steer liek a dream, till you get it home on normal ground!

Silver Cross Pop £99.99

Maclaren Quest; various colours - on sale £99.99 (this fitted my DS from 6m to 4yrs and was still light to push!)

Petit Star zia???? Easy to fold, reclines and good up and down kerbs.

I've got a Maclaren somethingorother, as the lady in Mothercare told me it was better than a Zapp. I bloody hate it. DS slithers down, it rattles along so much my hands ache, and it's so flimsy I feel it'll break if I put the brake on. Gah

Highly recommend the Silver Cross pop, got one a couple of weeks ago and its great! Doesn't feel at all flimsy like some lightweight pushchairs. Excellent stuff!
