Pram Help???? 3 Wheelers vs 4 wheelers??

[smiles4u]

Like LUEY ... I too loved my 3 wheeler Beema Q for ALL the same reason as her.

I also live in the country, yep flat too but some gravel footpaths.

... Only thing I wasn't too crazy on was the length of the pram, nearly ran down a few people coming around shop aisles & thought the pram was a little bit heavy

Otherwise loved everything else about it for a newborn bub

When my daughter was 5mths old I decided to get a four wheel Valcro stroller (Halliquin pattern), they are still $169 at BabyCo (near Highpoint S/C, Victoria). Extremely light-weight !!!

The stroller was more suitable getting around shops, onto public transport, etc ...

Why not checkout eBay, ... We sold our Beema Q & raincover on eBay in almost new, absolutely excellent condition both for $180 (was $399 plus $45 for the rain/wind cover)

Could even ask the Seller if you could check it out before bidding ... Just an idea

Thanks everyone, think I'll give the 3 wheeler a go, if I have any dramas I've got my 4 wheeler to fall back on.
Thanks for all your help.

I have a 3 wheeler mothers choice. I love it. Easy to push and fits though checkouts.

I've just been looking around, and had basically short-listed the P&T Sports and the Beema Q. In the end I'm going with the P&T sports for the following reasons:
- looked at my friend's e3 (the previous version) and she's been thrilled with it
- bit lighter than the Beema Q
- will cope with 2 if I have a second
- the shape it folds to will fit in my boot better than the Beema Q (given I'm trying to fit a decent sized dog in too).

I also just felt the P&T was just that bit more compact/less fussy. The Beema Q just seemed more bulky, so saying, they've both got a reasonably narrow wheel base for a 3 wheeler.
Good to hear that people are loving their P&T sports now i"m just going to wait for it to be on special... I've got a few months up my sleeve (or should that be... in my belly! ).
Btw, was disappointed the Choice report didn't test a greater range of 3-wheelers in their test.

A week or 2 back I saw babies galore had a special on the newer version of the P&T's, I think it's called the Dash? They were also throwing in the double kit for free (worth about $150 on that version). It's the one released after the Sports, my friend has it & I think it looks great. She's only just bought it so couldn't really say if it was good or not but it's very similar to the Sports model but with a bigger basket & a few other things I think. May be worth you having a look??
I use the second seat already without a second child, I call it my prams "boot" LOL because I can put heaps of shopping etc in there because of the shape, so it gets good use already
