 Poster: A snowHead

|
Another vote for the Maclaren buggy - we picked one up second hand off eBay for about £40 and it has been indestructible. We took it with us this year on our trip to the Dolomites - it's light enough to throw around/drag through snow and small enough to squeeze into hire cars. The couple of days there was snow in the village we used a sledge. Would second what Pam w said about crawling being the most tricky stage. Our little boy was 14months and not walking - so wanted to play in the snow but got very frustrated about not being able to move around with the other kids. Time spent outside in the snow was pretty limited (for him anyway!).

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We're another who just picked up a second hand buggy. It was a maclaren but I got it as it was free rather than because of any features so I didn't mind if it got damaged in transit. It was useful to have as if we handed over child up the mountain to grandparents they could still let them sleep in the buggy before walking back to the hotel. Always found roads and pavements were cleared quickly so we were always been able to use it and the lifties were always helpful wheeling it in and out of the gondalas

As you've booked already - are you diy or with a tour operator? We've taken both ours to the mountains since the elder was 12 months, there's an 19 month age gap and the following season his younger brother was 6 months old (yes, I was skiing while pregnant with him!) and as we were with Esprit when they were small, we just used their buggies in resort and a sling for round the airport - I used a sling almost all the time at home so was used to it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Another +1 for Mountain Buggies, we have the swift model and it’s been fab. We’ve been taking our little ones to the mountains from 8 weeks old and found a sling (we have an ergo baby) the most practical for the airport and the mountains, you can happily carry them around on your back until around 24 months.

Mountain Buggies are fantastic. I only have the flight version (the Nano) but friends have the more off road ones and they seem excellent. As for in snow, I'm not sure anything works unless it's on rails, and I wouldn't want to carry the kiddo.

Old post but we’ll be taking the baby jogger city mini GT on this trip.
I have a babyzen yo-yo which was absolutely fantastic for our trip to NZ last year (folds up and is small enough for cabin baggage) and we saw loads of people with these in Hong Kong and Singapore. You just don’t really see them here in the UK. Or at least not where I live. They are absolutely not practical for snow though.
