I'm looking for something light weight and sutiable from birth. I'm not a fan of maclaren as two I have had ended in scrap.

And I don't know alot about buggies lol. So can people name me some light weight buggies they'd recommend, I also need it for getting on and off buses. And possible I'd have to fold it down and carry.

I've got one sitting in my cubboard and I find it too lumpy for me at 12kg. So that's now on ebay lol.

Maybe be easier for someone who drives, but I have to be able to put it down and take on a double decker if needs be with a newborn and a toddler lol.

Carry cot only fits to the buzz, so I've had to put that on too.

I liked the cherry/apple when I went to pram center in stirling. But heard some bad reviews. I know the cherry is really light weight and the apple is light weight.

Umberella buggys are a blessing for the bus, the ones where you just need one hand and foot to fold it, though alot of these are 6 months+.
Have a gander on mother care see what they have in there, they put the weights and stuff in the listing.

The Buzz was much lighter than the Apple and I have the Apple.

I find it quiet heavy but ok as I drive.

I use an Obaby stroller as a 2nd stroller and its so light! Mine was only £65 from mothercare and with it being an umbrella fold its really easy on and off buses. I know wobbles and welshcakes also use these strollers. They are suitable from birth also as they lie flat and come with a headhugger

Oooo I'll have a look into these.

Buzz/Apple are out for me then. I got my buzz out just a sec ago and it's just not going to be viable for me. Which is a shame, it's gorgeous :(

i have bought the silver cross pop as it is light weight it has a carry strap and it folds down using one hand so that maybe an option.
