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.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
