Possibly standing up? Am I making sence?

I'm sure Phil and Teds did something like this once, but don't seem to anymore.

MatNanPlus · 17/08/2008 14:16

nifty Misdee

TrinityRhino · 17/08/2008 14:18

he smart buggy only has two wheels

wouldn't the child be reclined alot for you to push it along?

misdee · 17/08/2008 14:18

buggypods are rubbish though

MatNanPlus · 17/08/2008 17:30

Agree personally Misdee but some people heart them

Must say that TUG is fab.

I used the big plastic wagon in the US and was great round the area and funnily for shopping as no shopping trolleys with seats for 2 had a BIG CAR

LynetteScavo · 17/08/2008 18:51

I'm really not convinced about the Tug.

Smart Buggy

bran · 18/08/2008 23:08

I had a Smart Buggy for a while but I didn't really get on with it. I think the biggest problem with it was the uneven pavements where I am, the damn thing used to just jerk to a halt whenever it hit a bump bigger than about an inch. It worked much better pulling it, but then you can't see your child chucking one shoe away (never to be found again, I had to buy another pair). Also, although it has a small footprint when it's standing it has a much bigger footprint when it's leaning to be pushed/pulled so while you're in motion it takes up about as much space as a small pushchair. It was very comfy for ds though, he really quite like it. Although it didn't recline much, so wouldn't have been great for sleeping in.

I really fancy a tug, why didn't anyone tell me about it a couple of years ago when I needed it!

LynetteScavo · 18/08/2008 23:19

So not a fashion item.

A shopping trolley?

louii · 19/08/2008 16:38

Am i missing something with the smart buggy or is it not just like a maclaren with the front wheels missing, my back would be killing me with that, looks like it would be bulkier than a mclaren as well.

misdee · 19/08/2008 16:41

i also want a radio flyer wagon!

DrNortherner · 19/08/2008 16:48

I'm sure you can get a car seat on wheels/trolley taht doubles as both, have seen a sleb using one....
