LIGHTWEIGHT/EASY TO PUSH STROLLER FOR MUM WITH BAD BACK

[Duggie]

Hi
I just bought the o baby atlas stroller, however, am finding it hard to push. Can anyone recommend a stroller that is very easy to push (preferable one with a hood)

Thanks

Do you want a 3 or 4 wheeled one?

IMO, you'd be better off with something with air tyres as they are really light to push.

Out n About Nipper 360 is the lightest pram I've owned with air tyres, and lovely to push, even one handed.

Or Baby Joger City Mini if you're wantin something smaller. Doesn't have air tyres, but is really light and easy to push with minimum effort.

yes, I've found the monster 3 wheelers with proper tyres are always a dream to push (we have 3 of them ). Can't get on with strollers or normal wheels at all.

Mothercare urban detour is also a good 'pusher' IME. Even one handed in the supermarket is easy.

You need something with big wheels and a height-adjustable handle so that you can find the best height for you.

Not sure whether one bar handle or two handles are better for bad backs - does anyone know?

Most pushchairs are not brilliant for backs. A decent, supportive sling might be a good option to mix it up a bit so you're not putting strain on your back in one way for too long. Must stress the decent, supportive part though - don't bother with anything like the baby bjorn or you will probably make it worse!

Id say one handle was better so you can change your hand position to suit.

Cheers everyone, think i need to get to the shops and try a few out but thanks for the advice x

Micralite is really easy to push and you don't have to bend down at all to fold it, so i found it good with my bad back.

I have a M&P nipi, which gets bad reviews (and has squeeky wheels) but I LOVE it because the handles are slightly higher than other push chairs / strollers so it feels like a breath of fresh air for the back to push

Duggie after trying EVERYTHING on the market the lightest and least painful to push was acutally a bugaboo frog, even the bugaboo cam was harder to push! Bee is very easy to push too tbh
