mothercare urban detour

[lydiathetattooedlady]

has ahyone had/got one of these? seen a giraffe print one on ebay for £40 and am very very tempted. i am wanting to get fit so thought i could walk the long distance to town instead of getting a bus!
are they nice and light up push up hills etc??

I love mine and find it really light to push. The shopping basket's pretty good too (compared to my maclaren)and my only complaint is that the raincover is huge so I generally don't take it out and about with me.

Yes I have one and I love it. We got given ours (with the car seat) and it's lasted 3 babies. The only annoying thing that I found about it is that the tyres often pumping up, and if you can't find the exact pump then it's a bit of a pain - my local bike shop does ours now though!

They are very easy to push - dh loves to go out walking with ds in ours (we have the giraffe print one too!) and it's lasted him from birth well into toddlerhood!

Meant to say, out of the 4 buggies we've had the Urban Detour was the easiest and lightest to push. Mothercare buggies in general are v good IME - we also have the very cheapy lightweight stroller which is good for buses and Tubes!

yeah i've got one - up hills hmm you get used to it, I used to walk up a very steep hill with mine every day - the key question is how heavy is the toddler I think, on the flat etc it's very light and easy to push - can turn it one handed. i'm not so keen on my basket thou - might be cos I keep the rain cover in there,

from the pov of lightness etc, when shopping with my nan she likes to push a buggy to help her along - i've had the mcclaren, aria and UD with her, her fave is the UD - (as long as it's on swivel wheel) she can't push it up the hills thou - but think that's more her age!

DS doesn't like the rain cover - but then he doesn't like any of them. I love mine. it's ht eonly buggy DS now (2.5) will go in all others he gets hysterical on.

comfy good suspension good value if you ask me.
