Best Buggies/pushchairs?

Hi all!

Maybe some of you can help me. I'm just wondering what the best places to shop for baby gear are in NZ, and Chch specifically. And what in your opinion are the best pushchairs available in NZ? I prefer the three wheel ones myself with the swivelling front wheel. Needs to be suitable for newborn, lie flat etc. I will have to do all my baby shopping in two months when I arrive in NZ, so need some pointers as to where to begin (which shops) since I havent found much info on the internet. Any help appreciated!
Thanks

all those places and also trade me if you are on the net, there is heaps there and thay will also give you an idea of what you like (www.trademe.co.nz)

yep i love trademe i got my travel system off there brand new and i got the rest of my stuff from baby city in porirua they are awesome there they gave me a set of free sheets

Yea I agree. Go to Baby Factory, Baby City, Farmers and Kmart (perhaps in that order too!)

Trademe (www.trademe.co.nz) is awesome. Got my Kapoochi Baby Bag from there. Love it!

We bought an 'Urban Escape' stroller & capsule travel system. The stroller is a three wheeler and I really do love it. I think Bertini is the really other good brand?

i have a mothers choice three whell pram and i love it its easy to fold and fits in the boot of my friends car and the best bit it only cost me $229

ohh Emma they also have a phil and teds twin buggy for $749

All this double pushchair info is great! We're looking at getting a double, as Josiah will only be 17months when Baby arrives.

Bertini is a good brand, we have a 4 wheel steerable shuttle. Not as easily manouvered as a 3 wheeler but very stable. They do a toddler seat for it and I am going to look into their toddler board specific for the 4 wheeler, and see if we can get it in NZ. It has the pnumatic pumped tyres like 3 wheelers.

That is another thing I never thought about when buying our steelcraft. It never occurred tome before Quinn was born that I might want to do it all again and have another one. I wish I had bought a buggy that had a toddler attachment!

Thanks Maria! I had been looking at teh Phil and Ted's and couldn't find a double anywhere!

I also can't seem to find any twin prams/buggies that are front to back - they all seem to be side by sides which are huge. I looked at the Valco one at the Baby factory, the advantage with that one is that I can get a Kiddie Board for Maya as she is too big for a toddler seat and prefers to walk, but having the option if we are going a long way will be good.

But the Phila nd Teds is cheaper (the Valco is $899) and looks smaller/lighter so will definitely check it out.

Also have to buy a new car - my tiny little VW Polo is never going to fit 3 car seats, let alone a double stroller!
