Lightweight Strollers For Modern Parents

Archive for November, 2009

Here’s a link to a picture of what it looks like (note: not from me). I’m basically wondering for what age baby it’s recommended for and what its name is. I bought it at a yard sale today. I did try Maclaren’s website, but they only have the new ones listed. Thanks for your help!http://www.tradingpost.com.au/iteminfo/a…

I like the style of the Quinny Buzz Dreami bassinet, are there any other styles like this from other companies/brands

I am looking into getting a jogger stroller to inline skate with. I have heard that a lot of them really don’t work well and seem tippy, even when you’re just running.
Does anyone have specific experience skating with a jogger? Any specific product that worked or didn’t work??
Thanks!

Hi everyone
Just wondering if anyone can help me I am expecting my second child in 4 months time and have a cosatto cot from my previous child and for the life of me cannot find the instructions to put it up, does anyone know where i could get hold of a copy of instuctions .. living in ireland and bought it in Smyths toystore.
thanks

I want to buy a maclaren lightweight stroller and I’m trying to decide which one is best…triumph, quest, techno…I know they’re expensive so I’d rather not get the MOST expensive thing out there, but I don’t like the Volo because it doesn’t recline.
If you own or have owned one-what’s your opinion? Why do you love or not love your stroller? Thanks!

does any one out there know? I just got a fixed wheel jogging stroller from instep as a present and i love it except the wheel… any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for someone who uses the stroller for jogging and hard walking…. I have a four-month-old and a two-year-old so I’ll be using it for a while.

It’s a 5k InStep stroller.

I want to change out the fabric. I know Chicco lets you do this. Any ideas? I already emailed Graco customer service a while ago and they didnt respond.

Hi there,
Does anyone know where i can get a cosatto converto floral chick HOOD from as my hood is currently broken. i have tried ebay and mother care and searched on the net and cant find anything can anyone help

I have purchased only nursery furniture, clothes and a few toys so far, I am now 29 weeks and it is time to start thinking about baby carriers, transport systems and baby gear but the choice out there is daunting. I know that in a recent crash test on baby car seats they found baby trend and graco to be the safest car seats and bases so that’s were I think I will start, we need a baby car seat! I was also thinking that I would be carrying my baby in one of those baby Bjorn carriers mostly but not sure if the active or the original is best. Also my Mom is flying in from England for 3 months to help so I want some kind of stroller for her to use as I cant see her using the baby Bjorn. My husband says that if we get a jogger that he will use it to jog on the weekends but I am not sure if they are too bulky for everyday use and at the end of the day when my mom goes home I will ultimately be the one getting it in and out the car and using it as he grows. I can’t afford to get one of each

I’ve had a couple bad experiences with jogging strollers thus far. The first one I got from BabyTrend was defective:http://www.babytrend.com/products_detail…
The front tire would seize up almost like a brake when you started to jog. Later I found out I wasn’t the only one with this problem.
I can’t remember who made the second jogging stroller. I gave it away to a friend so they could use it for parts. In both situations the warranty lasted 3 months and the strollers died on me not long after.
So! With that said, I want to make a good choice this time around. I am hoping that some parents out there might be able to give me some good suggestions. I am not really worried about the cost too much. I would like to keep it reasonable but if I have to spend money to get a good quality double jogging stroller then so be it. My daughter is 17 months and my son will turn 3 soon.
Here is a little description of what I use it for and what I’m looking for:
Storage – I usually like to bring a ball, snacks and blanket with me on trips. Light stuff for the most part, but having the ability to keep it in/on the stroller is a perk.
Durability – It needs to be built for jogging and an active lifestyle. I walk almost everywhere I go for exercise.
Comfort – I want my babies to be comfortable.
Holders – It is not a must . . BUT it would be nice if it could hold a water bottle or two. It would also be nice if it had some storage for the kids drinks . . I can live without this however.
Appreciate any suggestions/help I can get on this matter. I just want to get my money’s worth this time around. Thanks in advance.

Need a double buggy but cant find much info on internet about either. The cosatto looks a little cheap- but light and easy to fold- and the jane looks more comfortable for children but bulkier. Has anyone got info on any of these products? Thanks x
