    Default Best pushchair for sleeping in?

    I have a double Nipper, but I could do with a single pushchair too for some occasions. I think it would come in handy as another option for nap time too. So far I have considered the BabyJogger City Mini because it has a big seat and big hood. Which pushchair would you recommend for comfy sleeping?

    've got a maxi cosi speedi ( same as quinny speedi ) ... mine is 9 yrs old now, so don't know latest model! but it reclines almost flat and footrest comes up. it has a nice big hood and is a big seat. I've had LOs sleeping in it till 2yrs plus ... ( depending upon how tall they are! )

    Anything nice and wide which lies flat and is well padded works well. I've had a few over the years

    I'm using a petite star zia at the moment as it folds quickly for my boot. The kids love it for sleeping, lies back really well but the footrest does not come up and the hood is small. I got mine second hand on ebay.

    Mine sleep well in the double nipper v1 so I bought a single too, it's a version 2 and to be honest it's a bit too narrow, they children prefer the phil and teds it's wider and they sleep better in it.

    Thanks everyone - very useful info

    The lack of an adjustable footrest is the only thing putting me of about the BJCM.

    I've pondered trying to get a bargain Mamas and Papas MPX or Silver Cross Freeway, because the seats seem big (??) and they have a footrest. Also the added bonus of a rear facing option.

    But, I need it to be super comfy to push as I have no car and walk a lot and I don't know if they are?

    I have ah the silver cross in the past and if was fine to push. Currently got a mamas and papas xcel - same seat as mpx but with bouncy chassis instead. I love it!!! Best buggy to push in my opinion. The seat isn't as big as most pushchairs so children don't really have room to sleep on it past about 2 but great for smaller ones

    Mine have always slept really well in my maclaren. Can't remember the name of it but it was one of the more expensive ones as they are quite wide. Easy to fold down for car or storage.

    Emmaljunga or Bertini are both great.

    Safety warning: I can assure all members that there is no pushchair currently on the market which is suitable for sleeping in.

    God knows, I've tried, but I always get my ar5e wedged tight between the armrests.

    ..... that and the children tire too quickly when pushing me round the park.

    I have the Baby Jogger Elite double and its brilliant x the seats lie flat and the bottom part can be raised too so it is flat and they are quite wide seats too.
