Ive just sold my P&T Vibe because it just wasnt for me so where do I go from here, I have some ideas just not sure what to pick.
I Like the look of the following.
Steelcraft strider plus.(black)
Baby Jogger city micro, (Apple)
Maclaren Stroller (in Limited edition "I LOVE YOU" print)
Im not sure what else, bub is 1 in a couple of weeks so if you have any suggestions throw them at me my budget is $600
anyone??
I am not really sure, only thing i could suggest is to go to a baby shop and try them out!!! I have a new strider and did have a phil and teds and the strider is HEAPS heavier!!! Does have some great features and iam going to keep it but it is really heavy!! TRY BEFORE YOU BUY and if it means going back a few times to the shop then just do it!!
The thing is I live rural and we have no baby shops so I have buy online :(:
BUGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What didnt you like about the phil and teds????
I have a Maclaren Techno XT which I love. Here's why!
- light but still pretty sturdy (although I wouldn't hang a nappy bag over the handles)
- compact and easy to fold
- sooo easy to drive and can turn it 360 in a tight circle
- great for travelling
- built to last
- adjustable handles (DH and I have a huge height difference so it's very handy, not all models have this though, not sure which one you're looking at)
- reclines to flat
hope that helps with your decision
I was just about to say that I have heard really good things about the maclaren strollers and if i was to buy a stroller i would be buying a maclaren!!!!!!
DS wont sleep in it coz he can see & touch me because of that gaping hole at the back even with the plastic flap on & the recline strap was sooo annoying.:
Thanks:
Well I was looking at the quest in the i love you print its gorgeous & DS is almost 1 and is quite big so I was thinking a stroller might be better than going for another pram, ive got a Bertini but it doesnt fit in my boot so thats going too.
No probs, I have an Emmaljunga as well (similar style to Bertinis) and they're just too damn bulky so got the Maclaren for those times when lugging around a big pram is a hassle.
I love the emmas & the bertinis they so classic & comfy.:
I went with the maclaren Ive heard not one bad thing about them. Got foot muff & parasole too.
Ive had 10 prams im a bit of an addict lol check out which ive had on my facebook, but ive promised this is my last haha
Beautifully built, pity they're such a pain, great suspension! I hardly use mine anymore but love it too much to sell.:
Good choice going with the Mac! I saw the pic on your facebook, funky fabric!
Enjoy:D
My main pram is a mountain buggy urban elite. I love it and can load it up and it is always stable. We have also got a Maclaren Quest stroller for traveling and small expeditions. The Maclaren is nice and light weight for travelling but there are some downsides - When it is fully reclined, you can't get into the storage basket. Also the storage basket doesn't have space for much else if you put your nappy bag in it which you need to because if you put the nappy bag over the handles it makes it unstable especially if you have a sleeping baby in it fully reclined.
I like the maclaren and wouldn't get rid of it you just need to know the limitations and be cool with them.
I have phil and ted Dash and I love it to push etc BUT pain in ass to get in and out of car and set up with toddler seat and not easy to get baby in and out of without taking coccoon in and out. Will be great when DS2 old enough to sit up.
Mclaren Vogue love it but can only use with 1 child so not used at present unless DS2 in 1 of 3 slings.
Good luck
I was gonna come in here and suggest the P&T Vibe! lol
I love mine ;)
I dont really use my nappy bag anymore, I use my handbag as DS is almost 1 and all we take when out & about is a nappy or 2 some wipes a bottle and water & all that fits in my handbag :):
I do <3 the vibe but JB doesnt sleep in it:
I have the Peg Perego Skate which i love, but now that DD is nearly 14 months i wanted a light weight stroller that had a recline feature so we went with the Silver Cross Pop!...i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!
I have a BabyJogger City Elite (which isn't the same as the one you mentioned obviously) but I am a HUGE fan! Especially of the quick fold....it's the bomb!
My DS got to a point where he just wouldn't sleep in his pram anymore too, so maybe just take into consideration whether you need something that actually accommodates sleeping.
He will sleep in his bertini coz his head isnt directly in front of me and he cannot reach out and touch me, The bertini is just too big for my boot unfortunatly:
