Default peg perego pliko, the maclaren trek, and the combi.??

dear all,

i am trying to decid e which stroller to buy as my daughter has outgrown her
infant car seat at 5 months....

we are deciding between the peg perego pliko, the maclaren trek, and the
combi. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? I'd love some
feedback...

Also, in general, do you think it is necessary for a stroller to have a
tray in front of the child??

Thanks --

Pam

I've been through three strollers now at 14 mos.

The first I bought before he was born and it was a Peg Perego Pliko. I only
used it when he was in an infant seat and sat the infant seat in the
stroller. Otherwise, I found it to be big and bulky and the wheels didn't
turn smoothly on corners or carpet.

My 2nd stroller was a Combi Savvy Z (bought off of Combi's discontinued
website) and it weighs 7 lbs, folds easily and is wonderful....but before
too long, DS figured out how to get out of it because it was only a 3 pt
harness...so he'd be standing up in it in no time.

Stroller #3 was bought last month and is my favorite!!! It is the Maclaren
Volo. It's light and easy to operate, folds great and you can easily carry
it and it has a 5 pt harness....I love it!!!!! Plus, the basket is large
enought to hold my big purse and some other items

I would rule out any of your choices....I say the lighter and easier, the
better! And I don't think a tray is necessary---I haven't had a tray on any
of my strollers and haven't found it necessary.

At 5 months, probably not so much. When DS got older, it started becoming a
lot more useful as a holding place for solid food. My stroller's got a cup
holder in the tray, and that's been really useful.

We have the Combi Savvy Z and don't recommend it because it's difficult to
steer. I'd expect more, considering the cost.

No. I don't see the point in it at all.

LOL. We bought our first stroller for Margaret this past summer when I was
facing two weeks of no-car-walking-everywhere-with-her and she had gotten just
too heavy for me to use the backpack and still hope to walk upright. It was a
$20 umbrella stroller from Target. No tray. Worked great.

She started out in the Baby Bjorn until she got too big for that and then I
carried her in the backpack until this past summer. I'm on the tall and strong
side but going the distance with a twenty-three-month-old on my back was beyond
my limits.

Why buy a stroller at all? Carrying baby is SO much more convenient and better
for both you and baby. And it is much, much, much easier when you travel, too.
I always pitied other parents in the airport as they wrestled with
gate-checking their strollers while I just walked right on board with my baby.

We did have a hand-me-down stroller with the boys and I have to admit it came
in handy when I had a two-year-old and an infant. (Will in the stroller and
Matthew in the sling if I really needed to go shopping.) The only thing more
inconvenient than an SUV stroller is a double stroller IMO.

We've never had one for P, never really thought about it. But we use
something that folds like a McLaren (it's a Mothercare branded
stroller). He's never noticed that something's missing :-).
