Buggies/Strollers

Nikkinoonoo · Aug 31st, 2008, 13:55 PM

I have been thinking of getting a lightweight stroller for Jessie now as the pushchair part of my travel system is rather bulky and heavy. I love the fact my travel system one is sturdy and looks all snuggly but when I went shopping with my friend the other day it was rather awkward to get up the stairs to her flat and to lift in the back of the taxi home.
I want to get one too for my upcoming holiday in two weeks as the boot will need room for the cases as well as the buggy.
I need to take a few things into account:

* She's only just coming up to 3 months old

* Winter is coming so need a snuggly one not a summery one

* We don't have lots of cash for it really so the cheaper the better

* I'm 6ft 1ins so need high handles

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

xXx

What pram do you have at the moment and is it high enough for you , i'm looking for a new pram myself, the silvercross one's are quite tall, bear with me i'l get back to you x

i have that one and i love it. Suitable from birth, tall (im 5ft 9) and comfy.

It's not the cheapest but it does the job well.

Plus it has a 2 year guarantee

Thanks Amy will have to get to Toysrus n have a look and a push! Have you started using it yet? How is Caitlyn in it? xXx

Yep thats the one i was looking at my friend had it and i've pushed it no probs, i'm 5ft 10, i think the problem is that there aren't many 'tall' strollers!! Other cheap good prams are the obaby range, they include raincover but not footmuff but you could pick one up quite cheaply, but the height on them is only 104cm whereas the silvercross is 109cm but that is the height advitised an babies r us, if you compare both on mothercare they are 104cm and 106cm for silvercross, so only 2cm different and surely i must be the same pram, have you tried ebay if you like silvercross but too expensive?? x
