    need pram suggestions please

    i didnt know where to post this, i dont want to scroll through hundreds of threads on different types of prams, i would just like some suggestions please.
    I need a budget, light weight stroller for walking - where i wont kick the wheels, my boy is nearly three but i want to get out and get some exercise, but as he is 3, i dont want to spend too much at all. my budget stroller, i kick the wheels. my phil and teds is too heavy to push around the block and up and down hills i find.
    Does anyone have any suggestions, or any prams you are selling secondhand in Perth that might fit this criteria?
    Thankyou,

    Get a secondhand Mountain Buggy, they're awesome. There are usually quite a few for sale on Gumtree.

    I've heard good things about the uppababy g-luxe but not sure if it fits the budget criteria

    We have a mountain buggy. A bit heavy to lift (ie in and out of the car) but a dream to steer.

    I have a Phil and teds promenade, it's sort of heavy to push, but honestly for exercise you kind of want a bit of weight for working the legs going uphill. So if you decide not to get a new pram, use it as a chance to add a little extra to your walks, that's what I do

    There was a MB Urban on my local BSS page last week for $40! It looked like it was in really good nick too. I wanted to buy it because it was such a bargain, even though I already have one!!

    I'd second the mountain buggy. I've got an older model terrain (from when they were still made in New Zealand) and it's an absolute dream. Happily fit my enormous 3 1/2 year old in it.
