Calling all experinced ladies out there. My ds is 4 mnths and im really struggling with his pram. Icandy cherry. He hates the carrycot (cant lie flat due to reflux) but can not sit properly yet without the carrycot.. This stuuupid (for us) pushchair has just turned out to be impossible for me to use. The only way i can use it is with the car seat, clearly not ideal.


I need a new one ans will go second hand most probably. But what do i do? I dont want a carrycot this time. As we will be flying alot it would be a bonus if it can fold without taking the seat off.

Shall i just get a mclaren maybe? Or a second hand bee?

I dont know, help please?

Any advice on flying with prams/strollers?

I would definitely suggest a Bee, especially if baby hates lying flat as even the flattest position is slightly at an angle. Easy for flying with too. Personally, I only use Mmy Mclaren for very short trips only (leave it in the car) as I find it hard t lo manoeuvre. Good luck!

Hejsan! I have a bugabo bee plus and a maclaren quest - you're welcome to try both in exchange for a fika ;-)


I have to say, the bee is by far my favourite out of the two, you can easily push it with one hand whereas the maclaren is a bit of a struggle, especially now I'm 8 months pregnant with a heavy 2-year-old. Also the maclaren doesn't have much of a shopping basket underneath and doesn't recline that far, I think the XT reclines further but it's quite a lot bigger - don't know if you're looking for a small pram or not. Both are great for travelling, flying etc and fit in to the boot of my very small car.

I've gone and got myself a Baby Jogger City Select. Bit more money, easy to fold, but I really wanted one where my little fella could face me. Anyway, I love it.


Midivydale, I can't go to Crooked Well in the morning as we're making an early start up to the grandparents in Lancs. Have a lovely weekend.

I have the bee and love it. But we are looking for something with bigger wheels and an easier fold for travelling later in the year. Have narrowed it down to micralite, baby jogger or the nipper 360. Need to go for a try out.


And re the sling, you might find he likes it more when he is bigger. My baby has just started to enjoy being in a sling, he is almost 7 months. S don't give up on it yet!

Just checking - have you tried the pushchair on the icandy cherry? It's not flat and is officially recommended after 6 months I think, but if you're considering a maclaren and the little one can't lie flat anyway...


We have the icandy cherry and little cashew was much happier once I put her in the seat cos she could see everything, and it does recline quite far back.

    • If you have recently sold your flat in East Dulwich what was the difference between valuation and eventual selling price? I’m finding that agent valuations vary so widely that it’s hard to get any idea of current actual property values.  Are any agents particularly known for overvaluing and by what sort of percentage?
    • It’s 3 AM - Anyone know when this horrendous noise is going to stop?! We’re on the Sainsbury’s Local end of Landells and am quite frankly sympathising with all of you nearer Peckham Rye. My ears are ringing! How is this ok?!  Edit: According to the website it should have finished by 22:30. What is going on and how is this acceptable (and not more people are complaining about the crippling sound levels we’re being subjected to?) - shocking.. 
    • https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY We live near and it’s absolute hell. The noise of the people coming and going from Peckham is the worse. They are so loud and obnoxious. This is my 5th year of this nonsense. People vomiting in my front garden, urinating in my neighbour’s gardens, throwing food into my garden. Screaming waking up my children while waiting for their Ubers. The people that organise this festival are 100% obnoxious. They told us there would be security along our road (there wasn’t). I asked them to put up my family in a hotel but they wouldn’t. It’s actually a human rights infraction for all of us this badly affected. Over the years I have spent so much money trying to be away this weekend but none of us should have to. The data also shows that most people coming are not local residents - so of 3000 tickets sold, hardly any to residents; it’s easy to argue that it disadvantages us residents way more than any conceivable benefit. My elderly neighbours are besides themselves. Every year the setup and striking of the festival blocks off the park during half term, plus the antisocial behaviour and loud noises mean actual children that live here are prevented from using the park and playgrounds. The police initially rejected the license last year… then suddenly changed their mind with no apparent reason… seems legit. Also the GALA team lie and make false statements in their advertising about consulting with us (they don’t they just tell us what is going to happen then are extremely obstinate and rude). My neighbour runs Friends of Peckham Rye and has been totally distressed by all the damage done to recent planting initiatives funded by the local community. GALA do not repair this, GALA pay off Southwark and then Southwark refuse to confirm what they are paid, or how much (if anything) is spent to repair the park.   This needs to be stopped once and for all!!   Petition asking Southwark to stop providing the license to GALA once and for all.    I mean I am sure they will listen to us just like they did about the LTNs…   https://chng.it/YXCH5XXVMY
