I'm another one who could do with some stroller advice. I have a graco also which is soooo big and bulky. I'm going to an nct sale tomorrow. Any recommendations on a stroller suitable for doing a lot of walking which folds quite small? And what might be a reasonable price?

I love my petite star zia. I walk around town loads and it is lovely to push and folds down so easily. I think a few of us on here have one, I know Ladybird^^^^^^ does . I only paid £85 new for mine on eBay though and I think they go for about £60 second hand.

The zia is fab and even fits in the boot of my matiz (the only buggy I've found that does, other than the little quinny one)! Izzy loves it too

Buttons - This deoderant is available through most pharmacies, we used to order it in specially for a couple of customers as we didn't stock it. Might be worth checking out locally or of course you could always order it online;) Apparantly it is brilliant, two of the lads who used to come for it were [STRIKE]well fit[/STRIKE] Tennis players;)

CAFC - Forgot to say about the chicco...it does end up squeaking, maybe there is a cure, I never really bothered trying because I was soon to be using the double anyways:D Mine has fondly become known as the squeako!!!

My DH took paternity leave and noone batted an eyelid even tho he would lose a fair whack of money but when he got his payslip it turned out they just gave him full pay anyway :T

At work our colleagues get 2 weeks full pay for their paternity leave:)

Am i a bad mummy? Whilst we are poor we haven't had much food in the house so Lily has had some mashed spagetti letters for dinner and i just bought one of the heinz box food things.

I feel so bad, i do have some pear puree for her and some yogurts though so she isn't eating total crap.

:o

LO eats pasta shapes and yogurts for most of her meals..... her choice she wont eat much else - chicken teddies from M & S and thats about it so wouldnt worry too much

Maybe we should be the anti graco's together

AND ME!!!!

I had the Graco Tour Deluxe, and hated it...I sold it when K was 8wks old and bought the squeako, which in comparison was miles better:D

Although I had one of the first graco travel systems with ds1 and LOVED it to pieces, i used for ds2 aswell and it lasted fantastically, it was no where near as bulky as the current ones and trendy black and yellow....I really loved it!

Like this one? How much do they sell for from proper stokke suppliers?
[/QUOTE]

Me too. Out of all of my prams/pushchairs i've had for all of my three, the Zia is my 2nd favorite after the Stokke.

They sell them direct throught their site, Nursery Value (I think it's called) and you can get new with cosytoes etc for £99 or even cheaper for reworked.

Mel I had a trendy black and yellow graco travel system with L - I hated it!

Quinny Buzz was good - nice to push, but felt a bit light, and there is no shopping basket either. I think you can buy shopping baskets separately though.
