Hi all,


My son who is 2 in March still needs a stroller from time to time. He is a rather large 2 year old and is starting to look rather uncomfortable in his baby jogger city mini (which we love by the way). Are there any other options?


He is a tall and rather stocky guy so is more like a 3.5 year old height and weight wise.


Would be really grateful for any advice. He loves walking (well running, jumping) but there are times when I just need to be able to push him around.


Grateful for any ideas.

After around 2 they tend to grow in the legs rather than the body it seems - my boys have both been sturdy but now at nearly 3 and 5(!) they both happily jump into the maclaren (no bigger than the baby jogger) if they get the chance! For note my eldest at 3.5 was fine in the bee, a mountain buggy and a phil and teds (at various times!).
There are different Maclarens right? Which would people recommend - like midivydale I have a rather long two year old! Do people find their kids happily sleep in them too? Mine still takes daytime naps for two hours in the bugaboo and nothing would make me give that up!
Bb - I'm sure mine is the xt techno but I can check. Toby still naps in it if we are out and about and I have even had him fall asleep in it in front of the tv. They are nowhere near as light as a bugaboo but great and robust for a toddler and have a good recline. We have just bought a separate double but won't be getting rid of the Maclaren.
And another Maclaren vote here. My tall 3 year old daughter stopped napping in her cot at just before 2yrs but fortunately continued to happily sleep in the buggy, including when 'parked'. Ours is a Sport which is a bit lighter & less sturdy than the XT and although it doesn't recline completely flat it's enough to nap. It also has a bit you can pull out to support their legs when it's reclined. Very good use of the approx ?120 it cost at the time I reckon!

    • Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl… 
    • I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
    • I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
