   As you may have been able to tell from my plethora of stroller-related questions lately, I'm still trying to find one that I really like.  I'm thinking the only thing to do is go and test drive all the ones on my shortlist.
 So where in Auckland has the best range?  I'm wanting to see a Phil & Teds Sport, a Steelcraft Transition and a Maclaren MX3.  I've found places that stock the Maclaren and the Steelcraft (although they're miles apart, one's on the Shore and one's in Manurewa    ), but my googling has come up with a blank on Auckland shops that stock the Phil & Teds.  Anyone know where I can test drive one?
 And it'd be even better if someone knew of an Auckland shop that has all three!

   Baby Stuff (www.babystuff.co.nz) out at Manurewa stocks the Transition, and the accessories too - have a look at their online specials.  I emailed them asking about it yesterday and got a great response back, so it seems they're pretty switched on.

   kiwibaby on dominion rd (it's down a driveway - driveway has a bookshop at the top of it.). Also kiwibaby in Glenfield - Stocks phil & teds sports - when we ordered ours just over a week ago they were cheaper than babycity.. if you are after one with a toddler seat attached - they were selling these cheaper than a purchasing a single sports & purchasing a toddler seat separately.. not sure why?? lady in store kept saying it was an online special we had seen but then she phoned her boss & he said we had seen it correctly but they may change this- they are exactly the same -  except toddler seat comes attached - you can easily unclip it until it's needed..  Sorry can't recall if they had steelcraft or maclaren but a a few others there.. |

   the manurewa store is really small and would guess most of their stuff is order on line....just a warning.
 id say view at baby city or baby factory and farmers and then purchase on line from  somewhere iffneed be

   We went on a bit of a trek today and checked out the strollers.  DH and I have managed to agree (it's a miracle!) on the P&T, so now we're on the hunt for the best deal we can get    |

   I'm now the very proud owner of a Phil & Teds Sport Buggy.  We ended up getting it from Baby City using the 10% voucher in our Bounty book. Yay!    |
