Hi all,

 I have never posted here efore, ( Only at my Sep 09 club), so bear with me..

I have a 13 month old and I am only going to buy our first pram. I have carried him in my Baby carrier till date. but I realise I need one now. Cannot afford a new one, hence Ebay to the rescue. I saw a Tchibo buggy which seems really light and cool. Thing is I have no idea about it as there seem to be NO REVIEWS at all..!!! Is that abad sign? I also like a Freestyler.. Dunno how heavy it is thou?? My heart tell em Tchibo , my sensible head tells me M & P Freestyler?

Please Please help!!

Thanks in advance

HI the Freestyler is one of my fave buggies ,they are well built and strong without being too heavy.

The Tchibo buggy looks like its made by hauck (as the seller says if its the one on ebay that i found ;0) ) Ive never had a hauck buggy so cant comment on them really but if I had the choice it would be the freestyler

 

The other choice would be a Graco Mirage ,its slightly smaller than the freestyler and not as heavy or bulky (v similar to the tchibo one in looks) ,I had one and loved it but did prefer the FS to that too

Personally I would avoid the Tchibo. I had the Hauck shopper which does look exactly the same and it was terrible. I used it once before getting rid of it. It was very flimsy and very hard to push.

The freestyler is a lovely buggy, also the M&P A3 is a nice pushchair, it is similar to the Pliko P3 but with one continuous handle as opposed to two so a lot easier to steer (especially when holding a toddlers hand!) also you can use P3 covers on it so if you get bored of the covers or they get damaged you can get some replacements from ebay! It is also big enough to last until you do not need a pushchair anymore and is suitable from birth so you will be able to use it for either child when you new baby is here.

I know the Tchibo says suitable from birth but it has no suspension and I would not like to put a newborn in that.

Good luck with your search. I cannot believe you have lasted so long without having a pushchair that is brilliant but you are entering into addictive territory here now!
