We have that exact pram. It's really lightweight. We've had no issues with it and our little one (7 months) has had no issues napping in it either. We bought it through boots, so I think we saved even more and paid about £42. It's definitely not the best, but for taking on holidays (our main reason for purchasing) it does the job.

We have the Joie Nitro E Stroller, it’s £75 on Argos. Def recommend! It wouldn’t go in as cabin luggage though, would have to check it in - most airlines let you take a buggy all the way up to the gate and check it in for free though. Any reason you want it as cabin luggage?

I used this for a holiday abroad when my baby was 6 months and he got on really well with it. It was super light yet not flimsy and he napped great in it. I have a Silvercross travel system which I love but I use the Joie from time to time as a lighter option. I think it’s really good for £50 if OP doesn’t want to spend much

I've got a Joie Nitro which has been used as a nursery buggy for 2.5 years. It's been through mud and sand, been on planes. It just keeps on trucking. The straps do come out quite low on the shoulder which is seems to be common on the cheaper models. I just make sure the waist straps are snug. I don't think it matter as much as for car seats - you need them to prevent kiddo from falling out if the buggy tips but the forces involved there are much lower than in a car crash.

Szia! Nekünk Joie Nitro LX van. Esernyőre csukható babakocsi egyébként, de nekünk a bababoltban azt mondta az eladó, hogy sokan használják egész pici kortól, mivel vízszintesen fektethető. Kb 6 kiló az egész és egy kézzel összecsukható!

It's not necessary, but it does help. We left our Joie Chrome at home and bought a much lighter Joie nitro for £50. We still needed to put it in hold because it didn't meet overhead sizes but it was much lighter to carry when needed

Also got a Joie Nitro here, which I bought predominantly as the Baby Jogger I've got is too big / expensive to leave in the nursery buggy store all day. It's had an absolute kicking over the last 2 years, doing 3 miles a day in all weather, it's been on beaches, in snow etc and gate checked without issue. I'd buy it again. Think I only paid about £50 for it from Argos in a sale. It's not fancy, but it's been a good workhorse and if it gets lost, stolen or broken, I don't particularly care.

We just went with a 50 quid Joie Nitro umbrella stroller. Not cabin sized but we gate check it. It’s been on multiple flights and survived sand, snow, cities etc along the way. Main reason for getting it was to have something cheap to leave at nursery but it’s also worked great for travel as we don’t care if it gets broken / lost (it got left in Singapore earlier this month when flying home from seeing family in Aus, but fortunately we got it back a day later).

We had one of those umbrella Joie strollers and it has been great. I would not get anything more expensive since you won't be using it for a long time. Our son stopped using the stroller before he was 3, he was either walking or on his trike.
