After buying the cath kidston quest I decided to get the Lulu Guiness too.
I loved the colours.
I'm not as keen on the buggy.
It is the older quest, with the old brakes, old harness buckle and just isn't as nice to be honest.
Ill probably sell on the Lulu Guiness and keep the cath kidston quest.
Loved this buggy the moment I seen it.
Its almost a pink red with white spots.
Its a newer model quest with the new brake system harness system and hood.
I have always disliked maclaren buggies but this one appealed to me.
My almost 3yr old fits great in it. She has loads of head room and foot space. The harness has plenty of room for growth too.
My daughter cannot get out of this buggy, I love the new straps. The buckle is circular in shape and you press the front and back simultaneously to open it.
The hood has a new design allowing it to slide onto the frame instead of clipping on. It has a nice pocket on the back too, great for keys and phone etc.
The new brakes mean you have a little button on the centre between the rear wheels, you press one side to put breaks on and the other side to take breaks off. Much better and I like it.
The raincover hasn't changed, you still attach it at the front if the hood. J really wish they'd make a standard raincover that covers and protects the hood too.
I bought the matching Cath kidston footmuff with is so soft inside. It has a lovely red fleece lining. The zip goes all the way around and has two Popper's also. My almost 3yr old fits in with space. Its got lots of leg room and attaches using two tie ons at the top of the footmuff.
All in all the buggy handles well. Its suspension isn't great but its a light stroller and ideal for what I need it for. It manages the bumpy country roads ok. But wouldn't be a one handed push...
I decided now that my little girl is not so little I needed a pushchair....
I bought the city micro thinking it would be perfect, has a recline, large seat, one handle and big basket.
While it was plenty big enough (my nearly 3yr old had loads of head and foot space) it was horrible to push.
The handle is rubber and almost causes friction burn while holding it..
The hood is tiny and sun seems to shine right through it.
The wheels are plasticy, and while pushing over uneven terrain it was a struggle and it shook alot.
U realky didn't like anything about the buggy other than the colour and the fold.
It has such a handy fold BUT make sure you clip the fasteners again once you open it as I learned if the child leans forward with enough force the buggy folds :( my own fault but an easy thing to forget when rushing.
Overall I did not like the buggy :(
Recently bought a micralite toro (again) this time I went for the orange colour.
Its a great buggy. So easy to push one handed even on rough terrain with an almost 3yr old
The pram is so easy to attach that I can switch from buggy to pram mode in about 5minutes. Great when I'm minding my niece.
The pram can be attached using the sane adapters as a maxi cosi car seat.
The great thing about the pram is that you can use it as a moses basket too.
Unfortunately my little girl is 3next month and is just a bit big :( so I've moved on to yet another buggy. . . . .
