Smallest, most lightweight umbrella pushchair for getting from A to B in airport?

[dairymoo]

I have 16mo DTs and am flying longhaul with them (and DH) next week. We have a double buggy in situ at our destination and so I am really just after two unbrella pushchairs to be used in the airport. Really don't need any frills at all, just go forward and be very lightweight as we'll already be carrying quite a lot onto the plane.

Any suggestions?

When we went to america we chose the Maclaren volo as it was the lightest we could find and has a shoulder carry strap.

mac volo definatly.

another vote for volo here!!! they are on sale at £45 on mothercare i think??

oh but you won't get to carry ANY umbrella fold onto the plane? they will let you take it right up until boarding but will then go into hold, so you won't have any buggy til luggage comes through?

Thanks but a maclaren (well, 2 x!) is really too much than we want to spend as we already have 3 buggies - is there not anything cheaper and more disposable?

Yep, and I know we won't be able to carry onto the plane - but we'll have a long wait before boarding and I don't fancy carrying a 25lb baby for the two hours before the flight!

ebay?

use a sling?

what about those cheapy mothercare ones?

Mothercare Jive?

also in blue?

you want something like this one actually

lol

Why not buy them those trunki cases and pull em about the airport?

that pink ones great for £15 and it has swivel wheels, ok if you have girls

yeah you can get blue versions of that pink one, but not on kiddicare apparently.

tesco used to sell tyhem, might still do.
or argos?

why don't you put a 'wanted' on Freecycle and see if anyone has a stroller that they can give you - you might get one if your lucky!

I've taken our umbrella stroller onto a plane before (overhead lockers), but admittedly we were only allowed to do that once

its not going to scar a 16month old boy for life if he goes in a pink stroller for a couple of hours

i agree misdee doesn't bother me, as a mum of three boys!!

quinny zap?

Wow - loads of replies! thisisyesterday - that's ideal, thanks! And £15 - perfect.
They are girls so the pink won't be a problem! Thanks all - think I'll try freecycle too.
Trunki case would be the best idea though - that way we wouldn't have to hear their squealing commentary either .

cheap as chips, ask to combine p&p for 2 aswell

great price! but think the fixed wheels would drive me nuts!

s'only for using in the airport for a while though
