    Okay, Becles, newbie_maz and Beenie we seem to be agreed on Saturday 13th March at The Giant's Den so we just need to agree on a time. 10? Or is that too early?

    Around 10/10:30 should be fine by me. Although i'm rarely on time for things these days cos still getting used to getting myself & LO ready for a certain time! Especially as she still wants feeding every 2 hours or so when its available, so i feed her when she gets up but she generally wants feeding again after we're all ready before we can leave the house!

    Looks a bargain MFD - and lots of good feedback for the same item.
    You could be cheeky (like me) and contact one of the buyers of the buggy, and ask them if they still love it after a few weeks use.

    LOL Sami - that's why I need you guys :D

    Silly question time: Why does a holiday buggy need to be small? :o

    We have one of those tiny silly stoller things (my dad gave it to me, he used to use it when he looked after my nephews when they were small) but it didn't lay down and after a week of use the wheel went all wobbly. We walked about 5 miles a day on our last holiday, which is not unusual.

    I wish, wish, wish we could take the Stokke but hubby says no for a cheapy flight :(

    Will check the argos one out :)

    MFD I think the idea of a holiday buggy being small is that you've got to store it somewhere for the 50weeks of the year you're not on holiday.
    I took my P&T to switzerland which is probably the same size as the ebay one (its 10kg like that one) here s the argos one, it reclines http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3760914/Trail/searchtext%3EMAMAS+AND+PAPAS+BUGGY.htm

    Ah! Storage! I would just stick it in the garage with the rest of the crap!!

    Will have a think about it. The M&P one looks a little insubstantial :o I have visions of wobbly wheels.

    Maybe I will pop to the M&P factoryshop and see what they have...although that could be dangerous.

    Ho hum!!
