Buggy/pushchair for 3 year old

cathy01

I'm looking for a buggy or pushchair for. Y daughter who is nearly 3.there is a long walk from the car park to her playschool and in the rain it's not good fun.i need something small for the boot of my car but strong enough to take a 3 year old.
Any tips ?

How long of a walk are you talking? I would HATE to be paying out money for a buggy for a healthy three year old, I'd hope they'd be walking most places by then?! Any chance you could borrow one from a friend, it seems an awful waste of money for something that (you would hope!) wouldn't be necessary for very long. If the rain bothers her, how about waterproof clothes/kiddie umbrella/little wellies, make it fun for her by letting her splash in the puddles!

She is my youngest of four . It's a long walk in the rain and somedays id like to put her int the buggy and go for a stroll she will be three next month.
My back is bad and I'm not able for the arm pulling body dropping tantrums that come along between the age of 2/3.

my 3 year old is super lazy so she goes on the front of the buggy or buggy board for long walks.
I would look on adverts and just buy a cheap stroller.

I was looking and actually bought one from Argos that was reduced but it was rubbish and unreturned it after a day.
I need something light but atrong ?

Would a scooter be an alternative?

You'd probably be crazy to spend a lot of money on a stroller just for crèche. Pick a good brand and then look for it secondhand. For example I bought a maclaren quest for €40 on donedeal as I only needed it for crèche. It's perfect.

I have seen 4 year olds in maclaren quests!!! Check out adverts I have seen them for €30/€40. Everything on them can go into the washing machine

A friend bought this one: http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/baby/c-614/pushchairs/p-552/dimples-pitch-stroller/

for her 2.5 year old - it might do the trick for you!
