Mumofmany, yes i do have trouble where as DP doesn't....he has more body strength then me though too, i think the trick is to make sure it is as closed as it can be and the front wheel is flat not sticking out IYKWIM. I absolutely love the UV protector, with the back part on it lets so much air flow through yet is nice and dark for bub to sleep in.

Not sure about that one Taurean maybe ring around a few baby shops in your area and see if they have the whole range of P&T for you to take a look at.
