random question, do the front wheels fit down the aisles of all buses? I only ask because i currently have a tractor-like three wheeler which occasionally gets stuck, and before investing in another pram thought I'd better check! The guy in the shop assures me they're not as wide as they seem, but as he won't let me take one on appro i can't really be sure...

Hmmmm, used to have one, and it was OK on the buses I went on, but I did find that it was easy to 'misjudge' the width of the front wheels when steering in general - got caught on the edge of supermarket aisles and things sometimes...but maybe I am just a bad driver (and it was one of the original versions), so not sure they are still as wide.


Not had this problem with other buggys but I think having wider wheels at the front than the back can catch you off guard.


A friend has a 'Petite Star' which seems good - like a Quinny Zap, but it reclines, folds up small, is light etc. etc.


Sorry if this causes more of a dilemma rather than a solution.

I have the fastfold and it's fine on buses, although not the P4 bus, you have to go in the door at the middle. It is slightly annoying how the front is quite wide, but other than that, it really is very easy to fold and unfold with one hand, and it's so light. Although the lightness of it does make it fall backwards if you have any shopping on the handles and take the baby out first.

    • I thought the building was connected to the mosque in some way. If it is owned by someone else, then I apologise for making assumptions. It doesn't look to me like the awning is falling off? It's hanging quite crookedly, but it seems to be attached at both sides? But that photo must have been taking some time ago, judging by the skip and its contents, so maybe the situation has changed?
    • Never. Never. Never again. Had a really awful experience with them caused by the owner.
    • And that fair funding review is crucial if we are ever going to tackle the divide between London, and regions that have been in extended decline for some time. London has its fair share of deprivation - 1 in 25 according to data (the Southeast of the country is 1in 33) but has many avenues to money from wealth, higher band Council Tax revenue, etc. Go to say, the Northwest or North East, and deprivation there is 1 in 5. Councils struggle to just stay on top of essential services, which face higher demand proportionally because of that higher deprivation. That is why there needs to be some adjustment in funding, addressing need vs purely population size. So McAsh's objection to this make no sense for someone who was a member of the Labour Party and a Union activist.
