Re: Advice on strollers for 6 month old

[poppy101]

Bit of advice needed on getting hold of stroller. I have pushchair, pram etc. but want something like a stroller (i.e. deckchair type) to be able to take my little one on the bus etc. Can anyone recommend where the best place is to get one of these suitable for a 6 month old ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

cheaper than the high street.

i'd recommend a maclaren triumph but it does lie completely flat, just reclines slightly.

Will have another look at this site. Do I need to spend a fortune on one or not ?

how often do u use your current pram? if you walk a lot, then maybe spend a little bit more. i have worn out many buggies. i have had my triumph coming up 2years now and still going strong. cost about £70.

I spent about £75 on a Cosatto stroller, it was worth paying bit more to get something that is lightweight and easy to push, as a stroller is going to be used for a lot longer than a heavy pram. At six months tho, u don't need to spend a fortune on one that fully reclines, as long as the seat goes back enough to sleep.
Cheap ones are often heavier and I find that they are often too low for me, as I'm rather tall.

Think the Triumph is £70 in Mothercare and £63 (delivery free) on Kiddicare. Am planning on getting a Triumph for DD when I can afford to replace DS's old Daytripper. For me I want one that has a shopping basket, hood and clip on (not one of those awful ones with a frame) raincover and this fits the bill.

I am planning on still using the big Graco for walks and stuff from home (esp in winter it is cosier) but the Triumph for shopping etc.

the shopping basket is hard to get to on the triumph and doesnt hold much tho.

Is it smaller/worse than the Daytripper? Just want somewhere to put a (small) changing bag and maybe kids summer jackets. Presume that if you overload the handles it will tip up as soon as child gets out.

I have just bough a Maclaren Quest from kiddicare - rrp is £100 but got it from them at £65.00 incl delivery - quick delivery as well within 48 hours. It has a 4 position seat. I think you can only get one colour at that price though - a pewter grey check. Look at their best sellers section. I'm v. happy with it.

Just looked at the site and it's gone up to £72.99 - I only got mine about 3 weeks ago
