To buy my two year old a stroller or not..

10 Replies

Well my daughter is 16kg, and now exceeds the weight of her mamas and papas sola. She walks pretty much everywhere apart from on Wednesdays as she naps after playgroup.

My dilemma is the only pushchair that I have seen with a higher weight limit (silver cross pop) has rubbish reviews. Has anyone else has this and is it any good?

Wow, - my son was a big boy at the age of roughly between 18 months & 26 months old & I used to worry about the fact that would I find clothes good enough for him to wear when he started school but luckily by the age of 2 & a half to about 3 yrs old he started losing the fat.

I personally didn't buy or use the sliver cross pop range pushchair but I found the hauck stroller pushchair to be quite strong & durable.

my daughter is in proportion to her height so she doesn't look that "big" ha ha. Is the hauck bulky/heavy? And have a weight limit of over 15kg?

Hi, I have the silver cross pop and have had no problems with it, I find it easy to push, fold and my son (he is 2 and a half) sees to be comfortable in it.The best thing both myself and my husband have found is that he can't open the straps due to the clip that it has so no escaping when out and about like his last pushchair.

Hi, my daughter also exceeds 15kg now and has done for quite a while. Shes always been tall for her age (same height as most 3 year olds). I personally have continued to use her mamas and pappas buggy. As she walks most places I do not see the point in buying another buggy for her.

My daughter only ever has a nap after playgroup (exhausted its great!) but we generally go straight home after playgroup so she walks back to the car. We were on holiday for 2 weeks recently and I took the buggy and used it alot due to the long walks and had no problems with it.

The equipment is actually designed to hold more than it claims (most of the time,almost double the amount) but they print a set amount for covering their back (legal loop hole).

At the end of a long story Id stay with your buggy and use it. If she already walks most placed then chances are she wont need it at all soon enough. Usemoney and treat yourself :)

I have read that in the uk buggies are marked down by about 7kg with the max weight.

The only issue I have with this buggy is its heavy (9.8kg) and carrying it up four flights of stairs is tiring. Hence why I'm looking at the silver cross pop aha x
