armadillo flip xt

[Lilmisshopeful]

So little man has outgrown his buggy leg length issue and he won't have the step down which gives extra room so am looking at a new pushchair. I can't have an umbrella fold I need a bar to push. I do have one and my hands playing up and realised it's no good.
Wondered if anyone has this as seems to tick all my boxes xxx

I looked into this pushchair a lot but in the end decided I couldn't justify the price so I went with a Petite Star Zia off ebay - I researched it at great length and found the seat length is actually similar to the armadillo, as we also have a really tall boy already! x

I'm not sure if this will fit you're needs but we have a Micralite Superlite stroller. It doesn't have a foot rest and I find I push it with the bar at the top but the position of the handle does make it feel like a bar when pushing it. It's long when folded but quite compact. I can't comment on the seat length as my boys are petite and I've not looked at the Armadillo x

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Thanks for.your replies I've had a look at both of those and neither will work. I need adjustable leg bits he hates not having his legs up that's the problem I have with the buggy we have now as he won't have it down. Also the bar rather than separate handles is a must. I have arthritis in my hands and the handles prove difficult when it flares up. Thanks for the suggestions tho.
How tall is zac oliver is wearing 18-24 to get the leg and body length xxx

Sorry I thought you meant you didn't want a foot board. The only other pushchair we looked at was the Nuna Pepp but I'm not sure that the foot rest would work for you x

Have you looked at the bugaboo bee? Im sure the leg rest on it moves x

 

[Lilmisshopeful]

Yeah I love the bee but no leg rest on it at all never mind adjustable.
I went with the armadillo xt didn't bother with the flip didn't think the extra £180 for what you get extra was worth it. All built and ready for a walk tomorrow xxx

I'm had you found one and I hope the walk tommorrow goes well and the weather holds out!

I know you have yours already but just in case anyone else is looking for similar:

Not sure if your arthritis would be am issue but have you looked at the graco buggies lots have the bar at the top and my 6 yr old sometimes still uses our one if I have to walk a long way and can't be bothered with the winging admittingly he doesn't fit in all that well but sometimes I want to walk faster than a snail having a leisurely stroll. I have a swollen nerve In my neck that species gives me pain in my hands and thumb and if is a thumb action to fold it down just depends where your problems are.

I have the graco sky now and I love it its hard to get anything gets else like it size wise and I live the seat and size of basket ect. But he won't have the leg rest down and has run out of room. He loves the new one xxx

I have the armadillo flip (not the XT, but I believe the only difference is the adjustable handle?). I can't fault the pram at all, I adore it xx
