So, which pushchair should we take?

Babybear (currently 16 months old) has had a series of transportation modes during his young life - 4 different pushchairs and 3 different slings.

I love the slings and would have carried him in them all the time if i could have done, unfortunately for me he is incredibly heavy and even in a mei tai on my back I find it hard to carry him for long periods. Plus he is a dreadful wriggler and trying to put him in a back carry just got too fraught, so a pushchair it is.

So anyway, we got final confirmation of our move to KL on 23rd September and the lease on our property in London expired on 7th October so it really was cutting it fine. The packing then began in earnest, further complicated by the fact that we had to spend 10 days in Germany before flying to KL so had to pack a selection of cold weather gear as well. There were 3 piles - going to KL, going to KL via Germany, going into storage in the UK. It was hectic to say the least..

On top of all the stress of packing were all the doubts that come about when you make a big move like this - is it the right thing to do? Would I be able to make a life for myself there? Would I cope with the heat and humidity? (sounds like such a silly thing to worry about, but it's so pervasively hot that it's definitely something that has to be considered) I worried about babybear missing his 'friends' but then how much memory does a 16 month old have anyway? Finally I was stressing about whether to take the stroller or the 3 wheel tank that would cope far better with KL pavements (or lack thereof).....

Finally all the packing was done, and there was just time to give the keys over to the landlord and get into a taxi to Heathrow with a rather fractious and tired Alfie in tow.

Oh, and we ended up taking the 3 wheeler, figuring it would do more damage to the baggage handlers than they could do to it!
