buggy broke, dd is 15 kgs, does it have tp be a McLaren major?

[Firsttimer7259]

That's basically it, tho she can walk we still need a buggy for most trips. I just had a quick google to check out deals on buggies and noticed they tend to have max weight of 15 kgs.

Ladies suggestions please: do we def need an sn buggy now? Can we get help to fund this? how long would that take? And what to do in between time? is it worth buying something cheap knowing it will be done in 3 months (say) or is that just dumb and dangerous?

Im off to mothercare to see what they can advise but I suspect mumsnet sn board will be rather better infprmed. Dont even know why im bothering to go except that without the buggy there's owt else to do and shell go nuts if we spend the afternoon indoors

Hello,

We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the product recommendations are a little out of date. We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing out pushchairs and buggies. Read our reviews of see which lightweight buggy was crowned best. [Spoiler alert is has a 25kg weight limit].

Hope that helps!

We have a mini city jogger which still fits. DGS is 17 kg and age 5 (25th centile for height. The only problem looming is his feet touching the ground but ok for the moment. If your dd can put her feet on the footrest that will be fine. Very lightweight and folds small. Second hand on eBay.

so glad you've got it all sorted and it's working well.

Brilliant, glad it's working well

Hi
I have a baby jogger summit xc and its brilliant. on the UK website it goes upto 15 kgs because that's all we test to here but in the states they test up to the actual weight the buggy will hold. I think the summit xc goes upto abougt 35kgs. The seat is big with a 5 point harness that also reclines flat. I couldn't recommend it enough. It folds with one hand too so very easy if u have a toddler in one hand struggling to get away and need to fold it up. xx

firsttimer you are so right people are so much thoughtful when the disability is obvious. At first I thought it was my stunning looks made cars stop to allow us to cross the road
