Getting very lost with pushchairs...

OBaby with raincover from kiddicare £50 - thought that was quite good - but is there better?
Does anyone have it - what's it like to steer / go up pavements / fold / put in the car?
Is it good for reclining - for little one to sleep - is the head rest high enough to support their head or is it only neck level?
Did you buy a footmuff to go with it??

Or if you have another to recommend pleeeease do - need one asap!

Want to spend £50-ish with raincover and footmuff if possible instead of spending more - needs to be recline-able and comfy / supportive for baby
any ideas greatly received!

I have a obaby vintage, i think thats it, it was £80 when i got it about a year ago lol, its still going great, goes up pavements really easy, lies completely flat but has loads of different positions, sophie is sitting upright now, also it has a calf rest which you can have up or down, i love it!!! its also pretty compact i think, i have had no problems putting it in any car, i think it even went in the boot of a KA, i have the pink obaby foot muff which actually i wouldnt recommend, it doesnt fit properly! The head cusion thingy is movable so you can put it whereever you want... this is the one i have...http://www.babyshop.co.uk/products/OBaby-Atlas-Stroller-%252d-Vintage-Noir.html

That looks really nice
What will you use in the colder weather - just wrapped up / snowsuit / another footmuff?
How old is Sophie btw? x

shes nearly 17 months now, but used the pushchair since she was about 3 months, would totally have put her in from newborn though. I will still use the footmuff, its useable, just doesnt fit great, and if not using that ill get her a snow suit, shes walking now so i reckon she wont be in her pushchair much longer

See that's why I don't want to spend too much - bean is so fast and happy to walk everywhere so a pushchair is only for short walks and pottering about shops - for when we need to have a confined bean instead of a minxy one! He's too quick for me so when just the two of us go out walking it's a struggle between keeping up and then my back playing up with holding his hand / bending down etc.

I guess I could always buy a double now and put a teddy in the other side, but I have a feeling we may get a few funny looks so it's just to last over the winter really, then we'll see how we go from there! x

you could buy him some reins? iv got one of these aswell for sophie...http://www.2in1harnessbuddy.co.uk/?gclid=CL-Rgd7Z-KMCFUH92AodomcrHQ
she really likes wearing it and when we get home i just unclip the reins and its a backpack. you could get one of those and a cheapo stroller for about £20 in argos or something.

We've got reins, used them a good 5 months or so - he does well with them and loves the freedom he's wearing through shoes fast
But still need a stroller as our pram is too big by far and we're going away for a few days next week so need more boot space!
What's the rain cover like btw? x

I have the obaby zezu pram for when bump arrives but have played with it lots and it's fab, so would definatly recommend obaby as a make! Hope that helps a little!

WOW how spooky I was about to post a thread about anyone knowing of strollers that will fit in the boot of a KA!

lol, i said i think so dont take my word for it, we have ben in so many cars lol, but im sure it does fit, it also fits in my mums convertable megane, even with the roof down, i love my o baby, also the rain cover is really good in my opinion, it clips on the front 'poles' so she cant kick it off lol also its flexible enough at the back, that i can put my changing bag on the handles and the rain cover goes over that too!
