lightweight buggy

Is this any good?

We have a bugaboo, but want to get a cheapish lightweight buggy for when we go on holiday.

DD is 11 months old at the moment, but is a small baby.

yyou can get similar for a lot less money.

I have this - bought for same reason, holiday, and have never gone back to my bigger buggy, is great, really portable but sturdy enough to be comfy, reclines nicely if they want a nap, and is easy to steer.

Those are OK but you might need something with more seating positions if your baby is small, the Maclaren Quest might be better.

Another vote for the Maclaren Quest here, it would suit your needs better. Here.

Yep - Maclaren Quest perfect for your needs!

EllieG · 09/02/2009 20:53

Oh, is the quest I have actually, sorry. Another vote for that.

triumphs are nice but no leg rest or far recline if your dc still wants to sleep.

i love my maclarens but just bought an obaby for £60 which has much better features then the triumph. ok not the same/usual maclaren quality but great for holiday the only lie flat i could find for that money too!

Thanks all.
Going to try them out tomorrow at a local shop. See how DD gets on with them.

Hmm, I've had 3 quest's, a triumph and a volo (amongst many others!!). My childminder has a triumph and has used it since having my dd (aged 5 months 1 week) but I agree the quest is better?

I noticed the diff to my bugaboo but if it is just for holidays/sling in back of car they are sooooooooooo easy in comparison!!

Not one to hang around, we go the Maclaren quest today! Thank you all!

Now, does anyone happen to know whether the Bugaboo Cam mosquito net will fit or do I need to get different one? It's up in the loft at the moment and I dont want to wake DD.

maclaren are bringing out their own mossie nets which will fit perfect just like their raincovers!

have a look on accessories here www.maclarenbaby.com

carrielou2007 · 10/02/2009 20:17

I never used my mos net on my cam, depends where you are going as I always use a shade-a-babe so great for sun protection, light rain and think would be ok for mosi??

i am looking at the quinny zapp for the same reason but put off by the no-recline or shopping basket issues....

really want a 3 wheeler as quite a walk from apt to beach and last year my m&p couldn't hack it but don't want to lug phil & teds...

thoughts on the zapp please!
