Not really an ECO question, but looking for some advice from some sensible people such as yourselves......

I´m looking into the confusing world of buying a pushchair for the first time :pale: . We are making a trip to the UK and I figured that it might be handy to have one, though I´m not sure what my sweetpea will make of it, she´s used to being carried!

Anyone have a recommendation? It´ll be used around town and on public transport. I want something light, easy to manouvre and that folds small. DD will be 11 months, so we don´t need all that car seat attachment nonsense.

I´ve looked at the Quinny Zapp, but people either seem to love it or hate it - the marmite of pushchairs :lol:

be warned a lot of the cheaper umbrella folds dont have swivel wheels and tbh, THEY ARE A MUST.
I can thoroughly recommend the Bruin Hoppa http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/B ... ers/741817

as for picking one up in a charity shop: round here they are like hen's teeth.

Tis done! After a sleepless night worrying about portability versus reclining seats :roll: I found a micralite fastfold 3 months old, half price on ebay.

Thanks for your feedback though, besos Clara x.
