    3 wheeler with good shade canopy???

    First I must make a confession........

    I have a pram problem, I currently have 4 and am still looking for the elusive perfect pram!

    I want a 3 wheeler, I do a bit of walking (every 2nd day or so)

    The one I have now is a steelcraft, it's good, but the shade canopy thingy isn't great. Perth gets hot. The sun is scorching so I want one that has a really good canopy and one of those uv protection thingys that fit snugly on it.

    Any suggestions? I'm happy to go second hand and would prefer not to pay a small fortune.

    Thanks!

    DUUUUDDDEEEEE - It's Babyjogger - hands down. THE BEST shade cover EVER! You can test mine out if you want...I'm bringing it home this time.....2 weeks! Woot! Lets walk!

    ETA - This pram still fits Max EASY and he's 17kg! That should curb your addiction for a while!

    A friend has one and although she raves about it she can't put her nappy bag on the back coz it's too light and tips!?!?!

    I have two of those Mummy Hooks and I LOAD up my pram with shopping bags (no car...ya know) and it copes. I guess it depends on how heavy the kid is inside it. I have no such trouble with Maxy in the front

    I have a beemaQ which I think is a wicked good pram. I got a valco shade cover from bigw seperately, and although it was $40 it is wind,water and uv resistant and you can clip 3 of the sides up individually so if the sun is coming in from the side only Bub can still look about, it is SUCH and awesome cover seriously... Good luck with your search

    Thanks girs, I got my new pram!!!

    I bought a Phil and Ted Explorer, the new one that's recently come out. It's FABULOUS and I LOVE IT!!!! It ticked all the boxes:
    Good shade
    Basket underneath
    Adjustable handle
    Toddler Option
    Holds a drink/keys/dummy pouch thingy
    Easy to steer
    etc....

    And the lining is red, so it'll go faster!!!

    Lets have a 3 wheeler race when I get home around bibra lake or something. My pram is red too....with a stripe! Plus I reckon Darcie is lighter so I might have an advantage!
