Oh I forgot to mention - another brand worth a look is Babyjogger - they are quite lightweight and so can mean you avoid swapping to a maclaren or similar later. However they don't parent face which you may or may not care about.
You need to think about how you are likely to be using it:
- are you going to be using it on rough ground eg country walks much? if so get something with decent size tyres
- are you going to be putting it in the car a lot, if so get something which folds up small and easily (in one piece) and is light enough to pick up when folded
- are you going to be on the bus a lot, if so look for one which is quite short back to front and has a handle which can be shortened right down (the Bee is fab for buses). Also look for a one piece fold in case you ever get forced to fold it
- might you be having baby 2 quite soon, if so look for one which converts to a double or at least takes a buggyboard
- do you want parent facing
- are you willing to keep it in your hallway/front room when not in use - if so then how much room is there, if not much then you may want something smaller - or do you plan to fold it away every time (this never happens in reality
)
None will tick every single box so it's a question of your priorities. And obviously you should go to a buggy shop (Peppermint on Northcote, Bump to Baby on Balham Hill or John Lewis) and try them out in the flesh and see what you like!
