Buggies

I've just found this Chicco For Me Top Stroller, on Amazon, and its one of the more reasonably priced (£299) rearward facing buggies that I've seen. I really want a rearward (ie looking towards mummy/daddy) facing buggy as it aids both attachment, and studies have shown children who use this type of buggy are more advanced in their language skills. I don't want a trendy three wheel type of buggy (they just look unstable to me and I'm not the Yummy Mummy type to push one either). I don't want an integrated travel system either, I want to be able to chose the car seat that fits best in our car, not have that dictated by the buggy I buy, we had a lot of trouble finding a car seat to fit our car properly when we bought one for Little Prince, so I know how important it is to get one for your own specific vehicle. The other one I'm considering is the Hauck Infinity. But before buying anything I want to try them out - don't want to buy one that's hard to push, handles wrong height, difficult to collapse etc.

If we get our referral soon, you can borrow baby Wong and ask to take it for a test drive!!! LOL


We are going to leave all the pram stuff to later. Luckily my FIL has a garage full of stuff so we need to see what he has given us first. But I dont want to collect it until we get our referral:)

Love S

Janet firstly I wish all the very best for adoption of Ethiopian baby. As you said children who use rearward facing buggy are more advanced in their language skills. I’ve read in one psychology books.We have Hauck speed sun which has got entire baby accessories kit, that makes joyful ride with my baby.
