    Pfft, have you seen the prices of buggies (or as we used to call them, go-cars) - have gawped at young mammies buying them for thousands. And you can't even cycle them.

    I actually have no idea how much a regular buggy costs, that just seems mad.

    I suppose it probably compares fairly well with the cost of a cargo-bike.

    Dutch mothers use the backfiets ("box-bike"), the two-wheeled version of which is a brilliant machine for kids, shopping, etc:

    Cheaper to go to the Netherlands and ride it home, though; there, they start at around €1,500 and you can get good secondhand ones.

    Rotterdam ferry to Hull or Harwich, cycle across England and Wales, Holyhead ferry to Dublin or Dun Laoghaire.

    I seen a young Dad and his child in one of them a couple of weeks ago on the Nangor rd , in park west, looks pretty cool, handy for a bag of coal or cylinder of gas from the shops

    Amsterdam is crawling with them.

    Well, not crawling, really, more speeding.
