Hello,
We're going on holiday to Italy soon so are looking for the ideal stroller to take with us. We will of course also use it at home. we currently have a Bugaboo Fox 2 which we love, but it's massive so would like something else that's considerable smaller and easier to put away/get out. We live near a local park so handling rough terrain is a must for us. Our daughter is average height and weight for 14 months. We have a budget of ideally under £100 but could stretch to £150.
Many thanks!
Hi, Tabby,
With such a budget while needing something that can handle rough terrain and a growing toddler, you should definitely think pre-owned, second-hand model. I mean, if you get something light-ish, small-ish for about 100, it will be a rattle and definitely not a terrain-capable pushchair. And overall, the smaller you get, especially in terms of wheels, the less terrain you will be comfortable on; this is important to acknowledge.
My personal suggestion would be a pre-loved Baby Jogger City Mini GT which, even in the first gen, is spacious, flat-folding, and superb on bumps too. I would also check something like the Valco Snap Sport with the inflatable wheels, or maybe something in the likes of the Joue Litetrax Air. A TFK Dot 2 os probably the smalles terrain-capable buggy, though this model is not available everywhere.
I know it is tough to look at used strollers but in this case especially, I would really not recommend a cheap new one - you'll feel it too much.
