Hi peeps!

I'm thinking about selling my prized bugaboo pushchair right from underneath my poor son lol, to raise some extra wonga to pay off my debts, then just buying a cheapie pushchair to replace it. The problem is, I dont know if I am strong enough to let go of it....please do your best to persuade me it is totally the right thing to do!! I mean, I could make £500+ which is one of my credit card balances! :j

While I'm here, anyone got any good recommendations for a cheap, lightweight pushchair that would be suitable for a 3 month old?

get yourself on freecycle and ask for a pram or buggy for your wee boy, and when you get one.... FREE, not just cheap....you can sell your madly overpriced buggy and get rid of a card!!!! good luck, and well done for realising you need to do something x

Sell it Natasha! My four kids were all pushed around in cheapo second-hand buggies and suffered no ill effects.

I even got to roadtest eight different 'all terrain' pushchairs for a magazine article and none of them compared to the good old McLaren buggy.

If you can't get a free one, we bought the Bruin one from Toys R Us, and it's perfectly okay - no frills but the seat reclines to 3 different positions, it has a hood, a raincover and a shopping basket. It's nice and lightweight to push, and it's an umbrella-fold, so doesn't take up much space (just check it will fit in your boot if you have a car, as the umbrella fold ones are quite long). It was only about £40.

Definately do it...I work in a baby shop selling these dam things and I think they are overated, over priced and becoming the pushchair of the chavs!! Get him a good old mclaren! by the time hes 1 you would be using one of these anyway as you will be fed up of lugging that bugaboo around!

Just nick a trolley from Tesco and pad it with old pillows.

Sell it! He will only grow out of it anyway and you will need to buy another when he gets a little older. My sister bought a really nice one from Babies R Us for around £60 after she decided her expensive push chair she got when her baby was born was just bit OTT when a £60 was just as good.

Lol, the chav bit has just given me that extra push! Cheers Sally!

Tbh, its a b*tch to load in and out of the car...its just sooooo bulky! Not the most practical thats for sure.

I never thought of that. Not sure it would fold down for the car very easily though....
