 Topic: Mothers Choice Savannah buggy
Posted: 06 August 2007 at 1:20pm |
|
I'm pregnant with my first child and going through the stressful process of choosing a buggy! Does anyone know anything about the Mothers Choice brand, and what their Savannah buggy is like? Have looked at Consumer, and they don't rate this model, but apparently Mothers Choice is really popular in Australia!

maybe ask the ladies in the shop if you can push it round tog et a feel for it, also take your lifestyle into consideration cause not all buggies are suitable for everyone whetehr not durable ernough or to big etc.

things to check are wether it will fit in your boot, how hard is it to collapse and undo again, cornering, how wide is it, is the handle height adjustable, cause depending on how tall you are it might get annoying to push for long distances...

We have one. I like the adjustable handle bar and the storage bags. It seems easy to use. I think it is about 13kgs so needs a bit of muscle to get it in the car.
I can't wait to use mine

Thanks for your replies!! I haven't found a shop in ChCh that actually stocks them to try it out, but Baby City had a different Mothers Choice pram and I really liked it, although didn't try to fold or lift it! I really want a buggy that has the toddler attachment so have just been looking at those, and it just looks like you get a lot for your money with Mothers Choice. I'm not really worried about the cost too much, but I just don't really like the look of Phil & Teds even though it is supposed to be one of the best. And the Mountain Buggy range don't seem to have toddler attachments. This buggy shopping thing is much harder than I thought it would be..............!

I have one! It is fantastic! We take it absolutely everywhere. Very easy to move around and came with everything apart from the sunshade. The lifting into the car thing is just fine, it's not too bad to get in and out and folds down to a nice size.
My favourite thing about it is the little sleeping bag that came with it. It is really soft cloth inside and Sam always looks so toasty and comfy in it. She loves riding in it and the proof is in that fact alone 
Also very handy cause when she loses a shoe it is inside the bag  I would highly recommend this pram!

I had one of these and had quite a few problems with it, they said that they hadn't had any complaints or issues with them before so maybe I just got a dud,,,i did like it untill it broke though
