Looking for a cheap lightweight pushchair/stroller

Options
I need a little stroller for the nursery run/to have in the car. Don't want to spend more than £30ish ideally as we'll only be needing it for another 6 months or so. Not having much luck on eBay/Gumtree/Freecycle locally and to be honest I'd prefer to buy new as our daughter has multiple food allergies and if I bought a used one with my luck she'd manage to find and lick the one spot I'd missed while cleaning it :)

Argos and Asda both have a basic pushchair for £20, but neither have a hood or raincover and do need to be able to put a raincover on it on rainy days. This is what we had before and it was perfect but it died a pretty spectacular death 2 days ago (after exactly 1 year and 1 week of use) and fell apart with her in it! :eek:

    Cheap rain covers on Ebay.http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Rain-Covers-/116555/i.html
    So you buy a cheap pushchair and separate rain cover for les than £30.
    But check feedback on seller on ebay.

    Thanks imho. That was the plan but you can't comfortably put a raincover on one that hasn't got a hood/canopy. My sister took pity on me and helped us so we've ordered a more expensive one for £50 (half price from Argos). :-)
