Pram Huns, please help me, my ridiculous three year old has broken the baby's pushchair so I'm going to have to buy a new one. And i don't know anything any more <wail>

[AitchTwoOh]

bollocks.

i would just buy another nomad as it has served me awfully well, but dd2 is a total plaster and i'm sure would prefer a front-facing.

so, cheap front-facings that aren't naff? can anyone help? or is it possible to buy these things second-hand and not get totally ripped off?

thanks, crazy pram ladies.

I am not a pram Hun but just wondered why you don't just go for a trusty, hard-waring old MacLaren. I have had the a-list of prams (Bugaboo and Phil & Teds) yet I love my MacLaren mostest.

i have a very elderly maclaren, actually, dd really doesn't like it. that's one of the reasons why i was thinking front-facing.
and lol at not a pram hun but then the a-list...

I'd say Maclaren too unless you really need air tyres for long country walks

you want facing you?

Do you mean rear facing Aitch?

I have a M&P Ultima(?) 3 in one thingy sitting on top of my wardrobe that you would be welcome to borrow. Is pretty heavy though and a not-particularly-fetching Boston check (I blame my mother)

lol, see? that's not even front-facing, is it? i want a rear-facing. i don't even know the lingo... they were all front-facing in my day, i got confused... [elderly]

I don't say 'hun' but most defiantely fall in to 'buggy crazy' category. I make no excuses other than i have 7 children

I would say a First wheels city elite, Hauck infinity or Bebeconfort streety.

Picked carefully on ebay you can get an absolute bargain.

that's very kind, shona, thanks. but i have a list of requirements and continuous single handle (is that the right phrase?) is one of them.

you know of course that i am attracted to the bugaboo bee... [twat]

What's your preference/budget?

Air tyres? Three/four wheels? How old is DD2?

Come on! Us pram huns can't go off on a tangent about the best prams unless we have some info on what you want

cheers, will have a look, lgandt.

i would consider just getting a replacement seat for my nomad (she's broken the sodding seat in half) but it seems to cost £195 for a new livery and what is the point of that? no second-hand nomads about that i can see on ebay, at least not sold for scrap which is really what i want. any ideas on that score?

It does have a continuous single handle but is no bugaboo, alas.

Damn, damn, damn will never get that thing out of here

okay...
continuous handle
neat
no fripperies and extras, she's nearly a year old.
and, er, cool.

oh it does, does it?

Oh yes. They have good cakes. Keep an eye out for me - we're in what ds calls the far park (not sure why, I suppose it's further away than the play area with the train) a lot.

I'll be the one with the 2 year old in the wet shorts

yes yes growingout... anything to add about actual BUGGIES? [despairing]

aw, the far park. it's 'ella's park' round our way. all our parks are named after someone else. apart from the 'tanics. can't mess with the 'tanics.

Aitch, what about the Loola Up?

Streety is not recommended. It is flimsy apparently.
Loola up is more poular with the pushchair shed membership because of the single handle and is on offer in some places atm because the design has been changed [or someting]
I have a Hauck Infinity and like it a lot.
Or there is the First Wheels City Elite.
Both very similar style- like a bugaboo cam.
Cool would be the Mutsy 4 Rider or someone on ads was selling a Maxi Cosi Mura 3 or 4 can't quite remember.

Loola not good for older dc, too heavy.

Hmmm can you give me your postcode then I could go browse on ebay for you?

what's your budget because cool=£££££££ I could probably get you a great rear facer cheaply that ticks all the boxes apart from swanky IYSWIM.

i'm in g1

won't let me do it on partial postcode. go into ebay, site map at the top right, click onto baby, then pushchairs & prams, then sort into nearest first.

See what there is that is rear facing and post a few links here

let's say i'm g2 9pu then, i mean i'm not, obv, but i'll travel anyway. sorry for abrupt last email, dd2 wanted somethign to eat. am not covered in peanut butter.

pounds-wise, i suppose £150 ish.
