Hi Sarah-another complete pram tart here!!!!
I'd give it a go taking it back,worth a try. Have you thought about city mini jogger ones??? They have 1 hand fold,really light,easy to steer.......etc....I haven't got 1 just lust after them!!!!!
I had a buggy with an ill fitting hood-annoyed the hell outta me,I would definately try and return it,you won't be happy with it. Mclarens are good as Laura says,I won a pushchair recently(to add to collection) it's the Hauk i'coo pluto,it's grand! Quite modern,hood fits well,handles a bit modern,very chrome looking,cold in this weather!!! Before that the single I had was a silvercross pop,Which is black with either pink or blue trim,that was a nice buggy,umberella fold,light,easy to get in boot,on public transport etc......
Anyway good luck with mothercare,happy shopping you lucky girl,I'd love a new 1!!!!!
