Cheap buggies

[tamirra]

Hi, my daughter cant afford much, but she is looking for a reclining buggie with hood and if possible a tray on the front, ive looked but they seem so expensive, its got to be around �40 mark for her to afford it, does anyone know if there is a good site that sells discontinued buggies or such like, she dosnt want 2nd hand, and ive already looked on ebay, which have good prices until they slap on the post and packing. Any help appreciated. Thank you

Hi I think that realistically you will struggle to find one at that price. Most of the cheapest buggies don't have hoods on which is why those that do are often more!
Sorry thats not much help, has she tried Asda or Argos?
I think she will end up with a 2nd hand one, she should definitely be able to get one like that within budget.
If I am looking for things on ebay I do a search that only shows items within a set distance away so you can arrange to collect instead of paying for postage.

This site has very good prices and their customer support is excellent.I bought travel systems and strollers for all 3 of my grandchildren from here.

look in your local news agents where they have for sale postcards
you could always put one up yourself labeled "wanted pushchair"

zzxxee,tamirra said her daughter doesn't want second hand and she would be unlikely to find a new stroller advertised in the local newsagent.
There really isn't much chance of buying a new one any cheaper than on the site I linked to in post 3.

Daffy that site is brilliant, thank you so much.

I'm glad it suits your needs tamirra.Whenever my daughters need any baby equipment it is always my first choice site now :)

�40 is not really going to get anything great so i hope its not for a newborn.

here is the ebay page for Dorel (the distributers for Quinny and Maxi-cosi) http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Babyvalue__W0QQ_ armrsZ1QQ_fsubZ4 and often buggies go for good prices there.

kiddicare also have some great bargains from time to time and their service is excellent http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ser vlet/categorydisplay10A_37_10751_14552_-1__140 51_14051_10001_14051

i would really look at 2nd hand.

my mum got me one of those cheap winnie the pooh hauch buggies from bid.tv and it was awful. the first gale of wind and the hood was off

i bought my first buggy 2nd hand. that was a chicco that would normally be �450 and i paid �100 and that had the carry cot then converted into a buggy. it was great, it had only been used a few time and it was the same with me. I only used it twice outside and then invested in a pushchair that wil last me years. so really if its a first buggy you might find that they are newer than you would expect as me and most of my friends found they got expensive travel systems then used their pushchair the most

you could try and look for voucher codes online www.hotukdeals.com is a good site for getting money off places like mothercare.

but really it depends where you live, weather, roads, size of car boot etc. where we stay its gale force winds most of the year, rain, we don't have pavements so i was needing a good buggy that can go over the country roads here

I ended up going for the silver cross salsa. it has good wheels for the roads, the hood doesn't blow off when windy. came with raincover. and was reduced from �115 to �100

my friend got the maclared thats normally �145 for �85 she waited till it had 20% off in the sale then she found voucher codes for free delivery and she got a good deal at mothercare

We have just bought 2 buggies from ebay which were under �30 plus about �14 postage but they came with a hood and a raincover (and the tray underneath is huge). They're a bit tricky to push (not sure if it is because we are not used to them) but they work well for us. They seem to be 'old' Argos stock - the brand is Hauck but I can't remember the site (retail currently on Amazon for �70). We only bought them last week so they probably still have them. (PS - needed 2 to split up our twins when we are out as a family as they are getting a bit heavy - not because we are loaded and wanted a 'spare'!)
