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!

      Bitey Fox.

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Babbit · Posted

      I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
