Lightweight Strollers For Modern Parents

Archive for October, 2009

I have been given a Maclaren twin triumph stroller. I am due in february when my daughter will be 21 months old. I’m wondering if it will be suitable for my newborn? I know it does fully recline and is meant to take a newborn safely, but on the practical side, how is the newborn strapped in? Is there any kind of carrycot that fits into it? Would it be comfortable?

Any details would be greatly appreciated!

I moved recently and lost the instructions, it doesnt seem very straight forward! This question is for people who have a buzz only thanks! X

I’m looking for a double stroller that I know for a fact my graco car seat will be able to fit in for when our second child joins us.

I got a good deal on In Step EZ strider but it didn’t come with directions. There are two red switches, and a pin, and we can’t figure out what to do with either, or how to fold the stroller down.

My son is 5 months, and we currently use his Graco quatro one that his base seat snaps on to….. however, since he’s getting bigger and lifting the car seat with him in it is hard work (lol) I don’t want to always be strapped to the quatro stroller and I’d like to get a lightweight small stroller… since he’s getting to the point where he can sit up I thought nows the time to start looking. I really happened to like the maclearan… anyone else use the maclaren? How did you like it?

I want to get one, it’s a jogger, but easy to fold up and handles great. It is compatible with a lot of different kinds of carseats, but is it ok to use for a newborn in the carseat? I’m so confused?

How do I find out how much the custom/duty fees will be or if there are any at all. I understand that if an item is manufactured in the US then there are no cutom fees. I live one hour from the border, so I plan on having it shipped to a place just a mile over the US border and then driving back into Canada with the stroller.

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with or opinions about the bike strollers/trailers. The type that is a jogger but can be pulled by a bike. I was just wondering how easy they are to manuever when walking and how smooth they pull with a bike. I wouldn’t be using it to jog with but thought it would be nice to have 1 stroller that could also be pulled by the bike. The one I am looking at could hold 2 kids.

Baby on way and i want a practical pushchair that will last for a couple of years. I use public transport but my boyfriend drives so need something lightweight and that folds up small. I want a pushchair that will be comfortable and cosy for my newborn and lie flat. Does anyone have this pushchair and what did they think of it and also did they use it with a newborn. The pros and cons! Any altertative out there let me know thanks!

sometimes called a cosey toes. I can’t seem to work out how to undo the safety straps that hold your child in!

dumb question but i can’t find any clear answers anywhere.
the car seat goes with the graco lite rider travel systems but the person who gave us the car seat didn’t give us the stroller that goes with it…

My question is when my baby reaches 3yrs will she still fit in it?? The hood does’nt lift up
What is the average seat height for strollers.
My baby is 7 months old and 65cm in length, is she average or above average> that would solve my stroller question.

Looking for a second stroller for NYC mom. Bumbleride Flyer is our main ride. The Triumph looks good because of the shoulder strap. The Quest looks good because its so light. The Techno XT looks good because its got so many bells and whistles. We have a MacLaren frame that goes with the Graco car seat- it was our newborn stroller.
Anyone with feelings one way or another, please respond. Also, any recommendations as to where to purchase one (and ony promo codes therein) would be greatly appreciated.
