Jogger or stroller
Points to consider
In purchasing a push-chair for your baby, you either go for baby joggers or strollers. What is the difference?
The former comes with three wheels while the latter is a four wheeler.
A city jogger for example, may appear to be more stylish than a conventional stroller.
Both can be folded away for storage but the jogger takes more space.
This may be a concern for you if it does not fit into the cargo space of your car.
A stroller on the other hand, has no such issue.
Opting for a stroller gives you more choices, including a wider price range.
When it comes to the cheapest price, the stroller wins.
Where to buy on the cheap
Buying a used push-chair
First, what are you willing to settle for, a new one or a used one?
Do you only prefer certain brands?
If you are fine with a used one, you can easily find a seller on the web.
This person is typically a mummy like you who wants to get rid of stuff she no longer needs.
She is probably selling through her blog.
If you are looking for a brand that is retailed at a high price, this may be your opportunity to acquire one cheaply (at 50 per cent off at the minimum).
Just make sure that it is in good condition.
Buying a new one
If you want a new one but not pay its full (retail) price, a warehouse clearance is your best bet.
A genuine clearance should offer you discounts of 50 per cent and above. Whether you are going for an up-market product or an average one, you will see a good deal when you see one.
Be aware that a genuine warehouse clearance can be congested.
You want to be careful if you are expecting.
Also, it is not advisable to bring children (especially the young ones) along.
