If you have a nearby Mothercare, why don't you pop in there? They have some excellent models ...

Also I asked the same question (well a 3-in-1 actually) and I got some good replies. Here they are -

(keeping in mind that you are really after a push chair) just for the record I have gone for one of these -

I don't know of anyone who has one of them. I have had a Graco tandem and pushchair and a Maclaren 2 in 1 and they have been good and sturdy, no problems. Would tend to stay away from Mothercare now after my sisters recent dealings with them see here:

Looks like a good price, for such a monster but:
a. 11kg is very heavy (my pushchair and stroller are more like 6kg each)
b.looks to me like it would be a hassle to fold up for quick trips. It's hard enough to leave the house as it is without having to deal with a jumbo pushchair.
c. probably something that you won't want to use after the first year.

Don't know where you can try it though. Looking on the web - people that have bought it seem to like it. See here http://strollersandprams.com/strollers/104/reviews.html

Personally I would recommend something a lot cheaper, quicker to fold, lighter and less complex! They get wrecked (e.g. wheels wear out, fabric becomes stained, etc..) and as your child grows speed of putting it up and down, and lightness are really important

I have all types of pushchair! - a graco pushchair, a double 3 wheeler buggy, and a maclaren stroller. The stroller is the best - light, compact, nippy, quick up and down, doesn't take up much room. My 6 month daughter uses it most of the time now (with a buggy board on the back for the 2.5 year old). I started using it when she was about 4 months (with the head support from her bouncing chair - and it was just fine). I bought the Maclaren Stroller from Kiddicare (who are excellent). The graco is ok too (got a few more features such as multi position seat, big basket underneath, and still light). I recommend both.

See what you mean, trying to find a stockist in Manchester is not an easy thing. if I were you, I'd give some of the independent baby shops in the area a ring to see if they have it.

personally, with hindsight, I wouldn't go for it. As been mentioned before, it is quite heavy, and I was itchin to get my lad out of his heavy pram into a lightweight buggy as soon as he was old enough. you just get fed up with the size and weight within a very short space of time, then spend another £100 on a buggy.

I think they look fab. Very funky and a much cheaper copy of the very pricey Bugaboo.

A wee stroller is all very well but not great for walks over rougher ground. We have a Quinny Buzz and the reason I like it is the big pneumatic tyres, which make it a comfy ride for Mr T. It's also easier to bump up and down pavements. i have a M&P Zico for nipping round the shops etc though.
