What can I get instead of my bee+?

I hate my bee, I just can't get on with the ricketyness of it, and the dreadful handling of kerbs. DD2 is 10 months. I have fallen in love with the bjcm, but would have to get the four wheel version as DH does not like 3 wheelers. Does anyone have this as I have only tried the 3 wheel in the flesh?

Maclaren is an option, but the quest I had for DD1 was a bit too long for the boot, and I would like a bigger shopping basket.

The icandy raspberry is out soon, my local John Lewis said they will have it in this week, love the colours and it's so cute!

I've got the four wheel version of the BJCM and love. Really can't fault it! We didn't try one out first so took a punt and ordered it anyway and glad we did. Easy to push, folds easily, HUGE hood, has done us since DD was newborn (she's 2 now) and I've never felt the need to buy any other type of stroller. It's not great off-road, but we knew that when we bought it.

Thanks both. jen I would adore a raspberry, but won't be able to justify the price tag given that DD2 is 10 months, but I almost want to have another baby just so I can get one Grin.

I need to go for one I can get 2nd hand. It is good to know that the 4 wheel bjcm is good.

I'd swap your bee for my maclaren any day! I'd keep the bee if I were you.

The bee3? Out in sept, I never liked the trolley like feel to bee or bee plus but the bee 3 is designed with a more solid frame amongst other improvements, you may regret getting rid of it and it's parent face option, handling etc, also the seat is so comfy and supportive even maclaren ( and I've had one or two ) can't compete , fab easy to use buggys though, as are bjcm, my friend loves hers , so ditch it if you really hate it but think twice.... Maybe keep hold of it and get the bjcm and then sell on whichever you don't like after using both?

We've had the 4 wheel BJCM for 2 and a quarter years now - it has been awesome.

Oh yes should add friend has the the three wheel bjcm but I've tried the four and it was lovely sturdy and nice push but no more than the three wheeler, both fab, also love the hoods on bjcm, i had a three wheeler bjcm for a bit before needed a phil n teds but don't think either were unstable at all as three wheelers
