Pram/Pushchair advice.
We off to Italy in March, taking our 4 1/2 month old baby with us, well she'll be 4 1/2 months old when we go.
Looking for a lightweight, compact easy to use pram/pushchair type of thing to push baby around in.
Any recommendations, must be compact and lightweight, ideally folds up to the size of a matchbox. Cant be doing with anything to big.
Cheers

Just make sure you get one which reclines so she can get a good sleep on a flat, not curved, surface. Quinnys don't IIRC; pity, they're fantastic otherwise. Half the Mclarens don't either.
(We got a Mclaren-style one but it's not available in the UK.)

The Quinny looks a decent bit of kit - except its does not recline.
The Mclarens just look too big

If you can get hold of the most recent Which? report, there's apparently a really good one that is about 1/10th of the price of most single pushchairs.
Sorry I can't be more specific as we need double buggies so I didn't take a lot more notice.

This is a nice list. I've never seen Cosatto before, it seems there's some interesting stuff there. I don't know what they mean by "genuine lie-flat" though.
Pushchairs - Reviews hundreds of Baby Products and gives detailed information on Baby Equipment and Furniture - Buggies
BTW, why do you want it small? Are you going to drive? There's nothing that will recline and go in a rucksack (I looked
). In my experience, get something slightly larger and put the little one in it all the time and hang half your luggage off it as well. We've had no problems touring with ours - and my, we've toured!
