Ok so as most of you know im going away in a few weeks time... Just im in such a dilemma...
Its about a stroller...
So we have the Silvercoss Jet sport pram wich we use day in & day out, and back in January I bought a Quinny Zapp for my hols, didnt put much thought into it to be honest i dont know why but i thought she would be a tad older than she is.
I went intpo the travel agents today and after realising that Olivia wouldnt quite be big enough to fit in the quinny I asked if I was to put my pram into the pushchair mode would I be covered for it on the travel insurance. The travel agents then told me that the airline wouldnt actually carry it and it must be a light weight stroller...
Trouble is its been such a struggle to keep out my overdraft these last few months since my savings ran out i dont really want to go intpo for a stroller that we are going to get use out of for one week only.
I did have some money aside for a stroller a few weeks back but we got an unexpected tax return form from when chris was self employed which obviously had to be paid so that money has now gone leaving me with pretty much zilch. So the problem is this... All the cheapies I have found are 6 months plus (just like the Zapp) and the only cheapie I found suitable from birth is out of stock every where.
Ive been reading reviews on the Zapp and a few people had said they had used the Zapp before their babys were 6 months & the shoulder straps are too tall... as Olivia is a very tall baby I decedied to try her init & I had the same problem (pic below)

So I took the support from my silvercross and placed it in making the shoulder straps sit in the right place( see pic below) So I was wondering... do you think if i was to buy a plain one of these that I can put in the Zapp would I ge away with it as I really dont have a spare £80-£150 to fork out on Maclaren, she wouldnt be in the pushchair much any way and obviously I think its alot of money for 1 week of usage as I dont need 2 strollers

I know I sound like a scruge but im just looking for ways to get round it as money really is tight at the moment but obviously if I have to buy one then i'll have to buy one. Just thought i'd see what you guys think first?
