This is my story as I stumble my way through family life

With one toddler and another new arrival on the way, this blog shares with you some of the things I see and think and also hopefully gives newer dads and dads to be some ideas based on what I did (or often, did not...) learn

Seriously- think ahead when buying a pushchair; save yourself ££££'s

My last post talked about thinking a bit more long term when buying a new pushchair. Having now sold our first one at a 70% loss on what we paid just two and a half years ago I thought I needed to write again as I hope I can save you the pain I am currently feeling in my wallet!!!


If the Phil 't & Teds isn't for you the n I have posted up a few more options below.


I have to say though that for me there are a couple of big wins with the Phil & Teds:
1. It isn't that big and is absolutely fine to use when you just have one kid (as we currently do)
2. It is really easy to fold up. A squeeze of a clip either side and there you go, job done and in the boot!


Jane have just introduced a new twin model:

Graco have a nice looking model and ebay is always a great place to source pushchairs:

Have a look at the MyChild on the Mothercare site at great price of £199 and only available on the web:

Still confused, Tesco have a great little advice guide to help:
