[paradysso]

just after a cheapy stroller for keeping in car and for nanny to use.

we do have one of these... (but alana looks to big in it)
and its horrible to push

so looking at getting one of these. has any one seen one in real life or used one?

39.99 in mothercare

59.99 in argos

or does any one kmow of any other decent cheap strollers?

The kiddicare Sale (click the banner at the top) has some right bargains.

Plus if you click through from the forum I think Laura gets something too, but I'm not sure.

I have got the M&P Beat buggy. I havn't had any problems with it and I think it's a nice buggy. It is reduced in Argos at the moment but it is still £68.99 which might be more than you want to spend.

Have a browse, they do new stuff, but the most of it is like catalogue returns, but for a second buggy im sure a scratch on the frame or the fact it didnt come in a box wont bother you

 

[paradysso]

had a look at they dont have any thing i fancy, going to look on freeads for a cheap maclaren maybe.

If you can get one for the right price.... Get a maclaren XLR i have one, in coffee and powder pink, they are LUSH really roomy too, will last them till they walk

You can get them fair cheap, i got my sister one on the bay for £60, hardly used but it didnt have the liner and apron thing, but she has a buggysnuggle as you do so not an issue...

 

[paradysso]

so far seen a maclaren quest in black and grey for £25? will phone them tommorrow

Ive had a mosaic, not in that colourway tho, lovely pushchair.


That colourway is GORGEOUS the hood is shimmery pink...





if u can persuade OH get one of the Ziko's. I had an accident in Argos with me credit card

 

[paradysso]

I need a cheap stoller too. Did you get one Elaine?

I went to Smyths, Boots and Argos today and nearly bought one then realised it didn't recline and had a crap raincover Isaac usd to have the jive one from mothercare but we lost it (don't ask)

Isaac has the mothercare urban detour but its a right bitch to get on and off the bus and if we go for a drink in a pub it gets in everyones way.

I want to pay about £30 including raincover, adjustable backrest and swivel wheels. Charity shop maybe ?

We had a maclaren volo in carbon. It cost about £50 but it was fantastic!!
It folds away to nothing and is mega light (8lb ish) so brilliant for public transport I would think.

 

[paradysso]

i was looking at the volo, but people have said its not very stable? would it fit a heft 2 1/2 year old?

 

[lozzi]

Nice reliable pushchair,


Mamas Papas Pulse or Beat buggy.


Come in red, sorbet, sand and black.


Second hand on the bay, ive seen them go for £30 WITH footmuff!!!!!


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MODEL-MAMAS-P ... dZViewItem


£55 or best offer.

Jonah used it until very recently and he's 4 soon. It is un stable if you leave it up and empty in the wind as it blows away

One of the mums at playgroup yesterday had a brand new looking buggy so I asked her where she got it from and how much it was and she got it free from freecycle. With raincovers and foot muff. She said theres always loads on there because people can't be bothered selling them on ebay or taking them down the charity shop once their LO's grow out of them.

I havent looked yet on freecycle so I don't even know how to do it but just thought I'd let you know. Not sure if you have 2nd hand stuff. I do if its clean.
