Coming Soon: Mylo Travel System by Mamas and Papas
A few nursery industry peeps I know that were out in Cologne for the recent Kid + Jugend trade fair were supremely impressed with Mamas and Papas launch at the show – the Mylo travel system. I think Kat said it best when she said it looks like a Bugaboo Bee/Stokke Xplory hybrid, which is [...]
Spot Red Buggy by Maclaren and Cath Kidston
I was over at the Cath Kidston site checking something out for our latest nursery tour when this buggy caught my eye. Is there a product which hasn’t received the Cath Kidston treatment I wonder? This time it is the Maclaren Quest which has seen designers such as Lulu Guinness and Kate Spade rework the [...]
The Pushchair Track: Hot reductions on Stokke Xplory & Phil & Ted’s Sport
If you’ve been keeping an eye out for a great deal on a Stokke Xplory, look no further than Dinky Inc where they are £495 instead of the usual £682 for the basic, with six colours available – woohoo! A major favourite of mine and source of heartbreak (we had to part with ours before [...]
The Pushchair Track: Taga Bike Pram
I’ve been reading about the Taga Bike Pram for several months but it was only this past weekend that we saw one in the flesh when we were shopping in Kingston-Upon-Thames. The boyf is a cyclist (I should say he ‘used’ to be as that bike hasn’t seen the light of day for ages…),so when [...]
The Pushchair Track: Maclaren’s Juicy Couture Pushchair
If you follow your celebrity gossip, you may recognise this Juicy Couture pushchair for Maclaren from recent pictures of Salma Hayek, her husband, and 19 month old daughter Valentina Paloma out and about in Saint Tropez. At £300, this is se-ri-ous high end Maclaren and like other pushchairs from their Objects of Design collection (we’ve [...]
The Pushchair Track: Bugaboo Gecko Review
We’ve long touted the Bugaboo Bee here at BG, which aside from being super stylish and more compact is actually lighter on your wallet than the famous Chameleon. There is another alternative (a bit of a blast from the past) though in between the two as Emma explains… Concept: The Bugaboo Gecko is the Chameleon’s [...]

The Pushchair Track: Maclaren Quest Mod in Big Apple Review
If you’re someone who has owned a heavier travel system (we have the Quinny Buzz), then you may be like the legions of parents who invested in a second lightweight pushchair stroller. We owned (we just gifted it on) a Mamas and Papas Nipi, and we have just spent the past six weeks road testing [...]

The City Bug has gone for padded, antennae style handles [...]
The Pushchair Track: Petite Star Zia4 Travel System Review
Kat writes…When looking for a pram/pushchair which will take you from birth to toddlerhood and beyond, there are countless travel system options on the market. Often they are a compromise between the two functions and don’t give you the best but the average of both worlds. When you factor in the cost at around £250 – [...]

Natalie writes…Buying a pushchair can be an agonising decision, especially when you’re trying to balance your style sensibilities with function, so here is my guide to helping you make that decision.

In January, they will be releasing a limited edition yellow Xplory of which there will only be 180 for sale in the UK. They’ll only be available as [...]
The Pushchair Track: Kid-Sit Buggy Board
It is an endless debate between me and a few of my friends. Double buggy or buggy board? If you have an age gap between your two children which means the older child will be walking most of the time you may not need a double at all. The Kid-Sit is a dual function buggy [...]
The Pushchair Track: iCandy Apple Stroller
Natalie writes… Today’s featured pushchair, the British designed iCandy Apple Stroller has been making an increasing appearance when I’m out and about which is likely to have been triggered by a number of awards from baby magazines. Weighing in at a rather hefty 13.8kg with the seat on (10kg without), this is one of the [...]
