Pushchair for under £25

Suzysnowball

This was on a little while ago but if anyone is interested there is a 3 wheeler pushchair reduced to £49.99 in the baby event and you should be able to use the £25 voucher from Emmas Diary website making the pushchair under £25

This is a bargain down from £249.99 to £89.99 - £25 voucher = £64.99

The Cosatto looks fab, unfortunately none anywhere near me or my mum.

I have the Ria and it is *ok* as an occasional, but I don't think would survive the rigours of regular or long term. DS's proper one gave up the ghost just before we went to the zoo one day so go this as an emergency (was down to about £40) and it's done ok with the occasional use, but it's not the greatest.

Thank you for this. Can you please tell me if the seat unit is quite a generous size? My wee one is only 15 months but very tall so a lot of the prams are too short and the hood hits his head!

Hi,
I found the same as the other poster above. It was ok for a spare but I ended up taking mine back (and paying £350 for BabyJogger City Mini GT which has tons of room!). My daughter is 21 months and very tall. I did find the Ria seat was fairly roomy - it's wider than alot of others. She did have a bit more room above her head (although her head went above the seat back, the hood was higher).

I found the Ria pushchair tipped alot, when I was going round corners, for instance. I found it hard to control. Maybe also because I am tall, and the handle isn't adjustable.

I agree, I thought it was maybe as DS was quite a big baby, but on reflection he was 18 months and on 75th centile for height and weight so not excessive!

But yes, it is quite roomy.

And I am only 5'6" so I don't think it is driver height that is the issue

The BabyJogger City Mini GT is really the pram I would like but I am finding it difficult to justify the cost as it is really just for my mums car which does not fit my Maclaren XLR which I already have!
I keep looking at it and funnily enough today was testing it in a shop, it really is a great pram!

I could not believe my luck! I have bitten the bullet and bought the GT for the brilliant price of £252.44 plus £29.60 in boots points and maybe £6 in cash back if it tracks. See my thread if anyone else is interested.

Argos are so cheeky. Check their small print hiding on the page -

* Please note item 3769805 has previously been on sale at 99.99.

More than half price my foot. It's a tenner off. Ooo they make me so mad.

That's a great price! I paid £265 (I wrote about £350 above, I meant £250 lol), and no boots points!

You won't regret it, it's AMAZING lol

Thanks for this, I've just bought one using the £25 voucher. The manager on the till wasn't sure about it and read it thoroughly - probably because there's no min spend on the pushchair voucher. But it worked so I have a spare pushchair for £25 - fab! Better than an umbrella stroller which is all I'd have got for that money.
