iwanta8a8y · Jan 15th, 2011, 03:08 AM

Hi Ladies in the title really, im starting to look into pushchairs now, you know, the ones that you can just throw into the boot of your car, needs to be compact and lighweight. Any recomendations? Not thought how much we want to spend on this yet so at the moment anything is an option

Also, if there are any that you have had or heard of which are no good, please list that so that we can all avoid making the same mistake

Thanks ladies

Petite Star Zia all the way for me, we have silvercross freeway and have just bought this for his hols and are finding we are using it now most of the time.

Lightweight, very compact and reclines flat, with all accessories for 100 pounds!

Is your after a no frills pushchair I can highly recommend the mothercare jive pushchair. It's very light easy to fold has a small shopping basket. Not fancy by any means but it's great for a quick trip to town. And at £35 it's a bargain!!

Oh and one not to buy is the herqules rally. Heavy, lo hates it, the brake is a pain and almost impossible to fold!!

I got mine from ASDA in the baby event for £50 (its a red one), it includes foot muff and raincover too, its been great for me.

We have a Quinny Zapp we bought off Ebay - in mint condition - Its so small when folded - We have a Silver Cross too - once you have the chassis in the boot nothing else will fit! So no shopping!!

Once LO is in her next stage car seat I am selling the silver cross - its just too big and bulky for mu sisters car! (Sister lives with me

)
