Choosing a pushchair

[putput]

I've read the threads related to pushchairs, done lots of online research and finally decided on the Pliko P3. We then went to Bumps to Babes in Ap Le Chau and the manager there was fantastic! He gave us lots of advice, and we ended up considering the Graco Mosaic instead which wasn't a consideration before. Can anyone who has the Graco Mosaic give me their opinion on what is good and not so good about this model as there's not alot about it online? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi, I wrote a review on the Graco EDT if you're interested. I too considered the Mosaic but decided to go with the lightest model.

I 2nd the Graco EDT.
We've used it since birth, and have loved it from the beginning, and now that I'm pushing a 12kg 16 month old around, having a super light stroller is a godsend.

Or you can consider the Aria from Peg Perego. It's ultralight (9lbs) and reclined to about 160 degrees as well, plus HUGE basket!! can push with one hand. One-hand open & fold.

Though negative side of Aria is their front wheels! They kinda have their own mind after using fit or a while.

Thanks all,

Is the EDT the same as the Mosaic only lighter?

One more question actually,

Does the EDT have height adjustable handles as my husband and I are both quite tall so don't want to be slouching over the pushchair!

 

[MilkMonster]

no you can adjust the handle on the edt

 

[Matty]

There are 2 different models, both available at Eugene.
The adjustable model is $1200.

Perfect - wel'll check them out.

hi, i'm interested to know, besides the stroller, do you buy a car-seat separately? how do you carry baby on taxi?

Hi, don't know much about the specific brands as such but a tip for HK living would be biggish wheels - a lifesaver on our cobblestoned pavements, and on those rare occasions when you need to scale some stairs.

 

[Matty]

When dealing with stairs, I prefer a light stroller that I can pick up, complete with baby still inside, and walk up or down stairs.

babyrib - I had originally bought the bugaboo with the maxi cosi carseat so used that for the first 6mths if i was going somewhere stroller friendly. otherwise i just used a sling. for taxi, i just carried my son.

I agree with Matty. Light stroller that you can pick up is preferred!! especially if you live in central/midlevels.
