Buying a pushchair for Grandparent's Use

We have aeroplane suitable one which just happens to have Air France label on it. While it can go on a plane it is not suitable for the countryside trekking daughter does all the time. So we're forever swapping. GD (just 28 months, prefers lighter one ! )

One where the baby faces the pusher is an excellent one!!!

Those ones which double fold and can fit in over head locker are ok for travelling but in my opinion not sturdy enough for walks, and you say you live in the country and walk dogs so I am imagine you walking off road in which case you would need a sturdy push cross country chair, most of which collapse small enough to get into a car. Maybe look at Which for ideas.

My GD are now all passed pushchairs but the main issue I had with them was folding them! I remember having to put the bl…dy thing as it was on the front seat of the car DH puce in the face with frustration and me and babe in the back . We just couldn’t collapse it down and DH was a building construction manager !!
So do find one that folds with a flick of a button and not weigh a ton . I loved my quick fold McLaren’s that you could do with one hand holding a wriggling baby under your arm and leap on a bus !

Hello ShazG :-)
I bought a ‘baby jogger city mini GT’ and love it still… have had several pushchairs/buggies cos am a mom of 3. The baby jogger is fab, firstly it is comfy for baby/toddler, great design and super easy to push moreover it handles lumps and bumps, even woodland is ok… grandson has slept in it and napped for as long as he napped in his bed… I rate it highly :-)

Hi
We bought a Yoyo stroller from Babyzen. It folds easy, comfy ride, from newborn up. It has a shoulder strap, and if you take grandbaby on a plane its size means its classed as hand luggage
We're onto 4th grandbaby and it still looks good

We had one that did both front and rear facing. Facing me when a baby and turned it round when a little older so not just seeing my face…. Seeing what I’m seeing, you can then talk about what you see…x

Please check that the height is correct for the person doing the pushing. Let them try it out. It can save a lot of back ache.

I got a fairly simple new one for £26 from Amazon that lies back or upright anx been used an awful lot over the last 9 years including being the pushchair for one grandchild for about 6 months when his second hand one broke . Worth every penny and folds up small . Will probs give it to a friend when finished with

Lightweight for me. Pushing growing baby up hill can become very tiring. And not too many knobs to squeeze in or pull out. It's easy to get confused!

My daughter has been looking at the Ocarro All terrain as she goes for dog walks in the countryside. They seem to be slightly cheaper online at the moment than when I looked a couple of weeks ago.
