Hello Eli.
I am thinking of changing my secondary pushchair for something more suitable. I am currently using our first stroller, the Bugaboo Runner, for regular rural walks. We have a dog, so daily off-road walks became almost a standard. This ‘tank’ can handle any terrain, and even my husband loves the Runner.
When going to the town, I am using my Cybex Priam. Initially, this was meant to be our main pram/pushchair system, but it couldn’t handle uneven countryside roads. I am considering swapping the Priam for a lighter and more compact, lightweight pushchair so that I can fit it in my car easily. I am only using the Priam once a week for shopping and some urban walks. I think someone else can find it more useful.
My must-have list for the new pushchair: a flat recline (like the Priam), I don’t want a bucket-type seat, a soft suspension system - it has to handle uneven surfaces such as cobblestones better than the Priam. I want a height-adjustable handlebar (there is almost a 20cm difference between my husband and me), and an easy fold.
My son is 18 months old. Despite the fact that he is already walking, he still can’t hop on/off the stroller on his own. To be honest, I often struggle to put the safety belts on, but once he is seated, it doesn’t take long till he's settled, enjoying the ride. I know Cybex strollers very well now, so I would invite suggestions from other brands. 🙂 What’s more important than the price is a design that doesn’t look cheap.
Thank you!
