What about the M&P Aria?

ALD0 · Aug 8th, 2007, 07:34 AM

I have the Zapp, it's a pain it doesn't recline, may go and get a Mclaren soon as he is getting older (9 Months)
What about going for a Mclaren?
I think a Mclaren fits in without the parcel shelf in place, doesn't bother me as I will hear more exhaust noise!

Paul · Aug 8th, 2007, 07:51 AM

When they're older I didn't find Alfie spent much time at all in his chair, which is when the Zapp came in. Before that we had the M&P Aria, which did recline and fits without any wheels being pulled off, seats put forward or any other compromise.

vigilante · Aug 8th, 2007, 08:26 AM

we have a bebe confort loola which fits in the mini's boot without removing the shelf - just take the seat off the frame and turn it over to put it in, et voila and now have a zapp purely because it goes on the floor in front of the baby seat and then still have all the boot to use

If you want a Zapp style, that has a recline then you should have got the Britax Verve

Quinny Buzz will go in the back so long as you take it apart - wheels etc.

Fits in the back of ours no problem with the parcel shelf in place. I'll try and snap it tomorrow if I remember and post up

There is a knack to it

Just had a look at the Verve info. It says (like the Zapp) its suitable from six months.

ALD0 · Aug 14th, 2007, 07:47 AM

Not overly fussed on Britax tbh, just summit about them I don't like lol :s

But the Zapp is only from 6 months too, its only when you add a carseat to either of them that they are from birth

The Verve at least has a recline on it unlike the Zapp

I found the buggy, it is Petite Star Zia. It is £99.99. Looks quite good, i am considering it.

This one looks very similar to the Zapp. Seems quite promising. I do like the Aria too, I just felt the height of the handle was a little low for Paul. I also can't be doing with taking wheels or other bits off a buggy to fit it in the boot.

Hi, i was in Mamas and Papas yesterday and they had a sign up saying the the Luna pushchair fits in the boot of a mini. Looked nice.

Any chance of some pics or a brief explanation?!!!

I have just bought a Buzz and thought I'd have to live without parcel shelf as it seems just a little too tall

(with one wheel off on it's side, both back seats up). If there is a better way, I haven't found it yet!

Cheers,

Matt

I saw that earlier in the year, interesting product, I used to work for them some years ago, and I know the factory where that product is made, so I'd let it come to market and sell it for year before considering buying one, as they will need to work the bugs out of it, trust me

Abi · Aug 20th, 2007, 09:16 AM

Yeah, we've got a little while to go yet. Just checking the options.

as much as it pains me, might be worth checking out the new Bugaboo bee, launchs in the UK in December, I'll get to see it in a few weeks, so will let you know what I think

Abi · Aug 21st, 2007, 08:11 AM

Thanks Rakey.

Ahhh poor MINI, you have tomake the MINI practical

Hi everyone, I only collected my R56 MCS a few months ago and have now just had the great news that my wife is pregnant and its twins, which is great news as we have been trying for about 4 years for a baby.

So my question is....does anyone know if there is any type of double pushchair that I could somehow squeeze into the boot of my MINI. I know its a long shot but I thought worth asking all you parents out there.

Thanks
