Time to get serious

[+The Wombles]

OK, we've tried Geocaching whilst carrying a 22kg child and it ain't pretty. So what we need is a serious, bona-fide, ALL terrain pushchair.

 

It needs to scale tall mountains and ford deep rivers, climb sheer rock and........OK, I'm getting carried away here but you get the idea.

 

Recommendations welcome for a large-wheeled, robust, proper off-road buggy (please don't tell me about the namby-pamby BMW X5 soft roader equivalents)

We considered the Landrover but check this out:

 

"Regrettably the Land Rover ATPs are no longer manufactured.

Silver Cross, who made the Land Rover ATPs, ceased production after their parent company ran into financial difficulties and it is expected that their factory will close completely in November 2002."

 

So, anyone with a Landrover pushchair better make sure it doesn't break (which was a pretty tall order for my old Range Rover, that broke down all the time) !

We should be adding to our team in December, so we will watch this thread with interest.

 

Tech-no notice

After my usual exhaustive reading up on a subject we've bought a Mountain Buggy "Terrain" which is a light, strong buggy and comes recommended by several sources.

 

We took it caching today for the first time (Tump,in hidden here) and it handled the stubble field and changing levels very well. If we'd taken our stroller on this cache then it would have been very hard work; the new buggy made very light work of it.

 

The key seems to be low weight and large wheel size, plus of course a robust construction. Cheap it ain't, but it'll see Charlie to yomping age.
