micralite fast fold v m&P Armadillo

[littlecloud]

I'm in my process of selling my bugaboo cameleon3 only used it for 4 months and it annoys the heck out of me. I just want a nice compact all in one easy to push buggy for the school run in a village and the occasional trip into town. The bugaboo was a dream to push and dd liked it eventually but takes up too much space.

DD is 8 months old i'm not sure how she'll take to forward facing? She's a hella nosey so hopefully well

This also has to be mil friendly as she will have dd one day a week whilst I am at work.

Both are at the £200 mark
I ike the very large hood of the armadillo
don't like the tiny hood of the micralite
Micralite looks more compact and is lighter.

Any advice would be much appreciated

I havent had ether pram but did look at the armadillo for DC and its quite a big pram it folds flatish but is very wide it would take a lots of room up in the house even folded.

I personally think you would be better off with an umbrella fold pram

Thanks Blamenargles, The Armadillo folds into a square I tried it out at a local independent baby shop and the micralite is an umbrella fold I spotted one the other day in the park and even up it's really narrow.

I was too chicken to approach the mum and asks her about it, wish I had now though. It's more the space in the boot that i'm after, even though the boot is huge as we have a 4x4 the bugaboo still manages to take up most of it!

With my boys I had Maclaren after my travel system. I liked it but I want something a bit more substantial and well something different as I like to try new things.

By try new things, I just mean it will be nice to go for something different this time around.

anyone else as I think i'll need to order tomorrow!

I'm leaning toward the micralite

Have a look at the stats if the dimensions are crucial to you, the armadillo is narrower than the micralite iirc.
