Please excuse my ignorance on this, but at what age do little ones move to a stroller/light weight pushchair? My little girl is 5 months old with good neck and upper body strength. She used to fall asleep easily in her pram when out for walks but is now far too frustrated at being on her back, not able to see the outside world! I'm sure she'll love being in a pushchair but I have no idea what the rule of thumb is on this. We've got a pilko pramette which does convert into a pushchair but it's not the lightest bit of kit in the world so I'd like to get something lightweight that we can throw in the car for outings. What would people suggest? I'm not very strong so something lightweight would be ideal and my husband is keen for something with the wheels quite far apart (as the pilko wheels are close together and he always catches his feet which drives him loopy). Any advice gratefully received.
Another vote for the Maclaren Quest, folds up small, great for public transport and fitting in boot and can be very upright. Our daughter had been in it since 11months or so and has always been able to fall asleep in it (a little to easily some of the time!)

    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
