Typical pushchair for a larger sn child

[bishboschone]

I don't want a sn pushchair , I like an all terrain pushchair but my son has outgrown his mountain buggy . Does anyone use a typical child's pushchair for their 4 year old or older ? I'm looking at the baby joggers elite and summit or the out and about nipper .. Just trying to find some recommendations or advice . Thanks .

Ds uses a baby jogger when we go for walks or camping, he uses a sn buggy the rest of the time.

He is 5, but he is pretty small, about 2nd centile height (97cm I think), and he doesn't look very comfortable in the baby jogger - it isn't much bigger than the Mountain Buggy - if he was any bigger he would be scrunched up. Plus there is no support, so I wouldn't use it more than occasionally, his sn buggy is much more supportive.

We used to have a double 360, and I would have said that was about the same size as the Mountain Buggy too.

Occasionally the SN Mountain Buggies come up on ebay - would a Sn all terrain buggy be an option?

Have you seen the Special tomato buggies, they make a 3 wheeler which copes off road really well. 2 of my friends have them!

Thanks , no I didn't know special tomato do al terrain buggies .. I'll have a look... He isn't a big 4 year old and has fairly little legs but no support issues . He can walk but gets tired and we like to walk a lot .

I have a phil n teds for my massive three year old. Mind you I don't think the tyres cope well under his weight.

My bigger than average dd1 used a Phil & red sport way past the age of 5 (in fact, she still squeezed into it this year aged 10 when we were using it for her younger brother! she is currently about 5ft tall, just for info). It really is a total workhorse, and can cope with just about anything.

The special tomato jogger is worth a look. It is aimed at chdren up to about 10, but 11 year old dd1 fits fine (and it is much easier to push with her in than the P&T was!)

Oh, meant to say, the Special Tomato is huge. Much longer than a standard pushchair, and pretty big and bulky when folded too.

The Phil and Teds is a mare to push with a bigger child in, imo. It completely did my back in - we switched to the 360 side by side and it was so much better.

If you're on facebook, there are pages dedicated to buying and selling sn equipment - worth trying for buggies

Thank you .. I think I'm going to try and find a baby jogger elite . It will keep us going for another year and then hopefully his stamina will be better . .. If not I'll just rethink it .

We got ours on ebay for £70 - good luck.

Wow that's a bargain.. They go for a lot .

We had a baby jogger mini city and it was great. I've been told the elite is not as big or sturdy but no personal experience.

Thank you , the elite is supposed to be exactly that , bigger and stronger .. I still haven't found a stockist to try one yet though! ??
