Picture the Moodd

It's been a fun couple of weeks with the Moodd. The (generally) nicer weather has meant more trips out (more admiring glances and interested comments from people) and our little man is finally starting to pile on the ounces.

This means I've been able to take out the foot hugger from the baby nest as his feet are near the end for the moment. I do love the simplicity of this - being able to zip them out is a fantastic idea and keeps it all rather neat.




I've also been able to test out the raincover which is fantastic. It's the best raincover I've ever come across as it's doesn't just rely on the clear plastic and it also doesn't rely on dodgy straps or unrealistic stretching to get it to stay on! The black fabric panels at the top and bottom (shown in the pic below) make it feel more substantial and stylish, while the clear plastic is enough to be able to see in/out and provide ventalation through the air holes.

My 3 year old (who's over the recommended weight limit) has had a couple of occassions to use it too when we've been out and about. He really loves the pushchair too and quite surprisingly he's still able to fit in the seat pretty well. Going from the extreme of pushing a newborn to a heavy toddler is going to require more effort but it is surprisingly little additional effort needed compared to some I've had. This is a fabulous bonus that rarely gets thought about when buying a pushchair but is really rather important considering how long pushchairs are in use for and that children are generally up to 5 times the weight by the time they don't need it compared to when they start.







As we settle more into a routine with younger son and the weather is improving we are finally able to really put the Moodd through its paces and I do really love it still (bar the issues and concerns with the baby nest).  I'm looking forward to when our younger son is old enough to get rid of the baby nest and enjoy sitting facing me in a more upright seat.

A pics post to follow soon, along with an interesting car boot challenge.
