Hello y'all,
I'm almost 11 weeks gone so not in a massive rush at the minute but I AM attempting to get things sorted ASAP and on a rather tight budget to boot. We don't want to buy beyond our means for the sake of keeping up with the Joneses and we are looking SOLELY for something that functions as a pushchair. Not a pram-cum-pushcair-cum-carseat with a cup carrier and sat nav and a built in recording studio. JUST a common-or-garden baby transporting thingummy.
So anyway...we are looking to spend no more than £150 on this contraption (cloud cuckoo land?) and here are our key requirements;
*4 WHEELS PLEASE!
*Lightweight but not likely to topple over and propel DC onto the floor during a bumpy buss ride.
*Easy to manouvre (corners/steps etc) and fairly easy to collapse.
*Suitable from birth - so fully 'reclineable' - and hopefully up until 2 yrs or thereabouts.
*Reasonable amount of room for nappies, wipes, vodka, pies etc. underneath.
*Fairly unisex in appearance.
Any accoutrements such as rain cover, foot muff are a HUGE BONUS.
We have a basic £30 stroller for our 2yo DS but we rarely use it nowadays as he's a fucking nightmare fairly independent ...the Chicco Liteway we bought when he was born packed in after 2 years of almost constant use and that cost us £99.99 in early 2008 so we were more than happy with the amount of wear and tear we got out of that!
Thanks in advance kindly mumsnetters...all feedback in mucho appreciated.
