slightly silly cosytoes question

Just about jet off (!) on first solo (ie me plus baby) flight - only to Edinburgh so not v far afield! Anyway just getting buggy etc sorted and have a silly question. does anyone else find their maclaren quest (or similar) hard to fold with a cosy toes in? I kind of need one given where I'm going but it always seems to jam and make a mockery of the so-called one handed fold...thinking might have to pack separately to be honest. Just wondering if I'm missing a trick.


Would never have thought just over a year ago that I'd be worrying about such things!

Hi Belle,

I fly very often (started when my baby was 6 weeks old, and he is 19 months now) on my own and always use my maclaren techno xt. I have maclaren cosytoes AND a fleece cosytoes underneath it, and although the buggy never folds completely I always leave both cosytoes on the buggy. I just warn the guys who pack the buggy on the plane that it has not completely folded and they just pick up the whole thing, and I have never had anyone refusing to pack the buggy.

It might not work if you leave the buggy at check in (and carry the baby in the sling), but I always take the buggy through bording and leave it by the plane just before getting on. There is always a helpful guy who holds the baby while I fold the buggy, so don't worry if you are travelling alone.


Good luck - everytime I do it (fly on my own) I always think: how have I done it all again by myself? But it is easy with one - it will be challenging with two!


Would never have thought just over a year ago that I'd be giving such advice!

      yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      Mad that on a thread about the telegraph (and are we saying they  are a paragon of reporting? Are we?) it just happens to be the bbc and only the bbc copping the flak headnun - I’m not sure your point about despicable people “hanging themselves” holds up in a world where despicable people appear to be taking over in so many places  for too long, these people have been given equal airtime to normal people, creating a false equivalence - the result being a lot of people seem to think “well if one person thinks smoking is bad for you and one person thinks it’s good for you, who am I to say who is right and wrong”

      you're witnessing "Natural Selection" the core mechanism behind the theory of evolution which determines if organisms will survive long enough to produce offspring

      Maybe Angelina did see them, however how many people and drivers didn't?  Just takes one to cause life changing for both.  Wouldn't it be more sensible if cyclists realised lights and reflective gear is not just to help them see but to potentially save their lives by making them visible to all.
