Best buggy for dog walking?? Post Reply

Sorry for yet another buggy question! I'm a clueless first time mum-to-be... so any advice is much appreciated

Can anyone recommend a good buggy for dog walking? We live in a small flat...so ideally something lightweight & compact when folded. But it needs to be able to handle grass and bumpy footpaths/gravel in the commons.

John Lewis recommended the icandy cherry, baby jogger city mini and bugaboo cameleon. Has anyone with dogs had a good experience with any of these? Or other makes/models?

Thank u!

I walk with a Phil and Teds, easy to wheel with two kids in it, 1 handed whilst holding the lead with the other. A single push handle is best for dog walking really. Not ideal for lightweight though.

Without a question of a doubt (and we have had a phil and teds) it is the in step single nipper. Lightweight and well worth every penny.

Mountain buggy.
Def not a Bugaboo Cameleon- I have one of those too but it's the mountain buggy everytime for dog walking. Nothing else copes with mud or sand in my experience. I have walked 10 miles on soft sand with a MB and it was a breeze. The Bugaboo marketing would have you believe it is all terrain..... it isn't. Great for other things though
Do you have any space for one of those little bike sheds outside the front of your property? It's been great for us- keeps the muddy buggy out of the house and I have my 'clean buggy' for toddler groups and stuff!
