Going back a long time maybe 70's my mum swapped from a 2 wheel to a 4 wheel it only lasted a couple of times before she went back to 2 wheels she didn't like it, it wanted to go where it wanted not where she wanted it to go.

4 wheel are more awkward manoeuvring wise but more stable when loaded..
A few of my residents have them but 2 wheel seems king plus easy to store away.

It's for a birthday present so I don't mind spending a few quid, although some of the more expensive Rolsers might be pushing it. I'd also have concerns about something that cost less than £20. I mean a good rucksack is more than that and I want the mechanics to work well. Also, although my wife doesn't follow fashion, she appreciates style, and good design is important to her. I want to get her something she'd be comfortable being seen with.
Some of the 4 wheelers have pivoting wheels so steering is easier, and they swap between 2 and 4 wheel modes, but I think that a 2 wheeler might be best in terms of storage and on uneven pavements. Willing to have my mind changed on that though.
Something that's the absolute antithesis of that. She's a 40yo yummy mummy, not an 80yo granny.

Thanks. I take it that's got solid wheels rather than tri-spoke? (The tri-spoke being the larger version)
At the moment I'm inclined towards this one which has the foldable 2 wheeled chassis and a recycled bag. The designs are a bit plain, but considering the idea is that we want to shop at the zero waste shop to reduce our plastic footprint, recycled seems the way to go.

We were car free for over 30 years, got our first one in 2012. If you've not had one you don't realise how easy a car can make things.

It's hard work the way that young kids manage to pull and dangle and dawdle and swing on your arm. The thing is, they're relying on you to be stable, so if you lose concentration and stop noticing what they're doing, they hit the deck. My wife ends up taking the car even for short journeys simply because it takes so long to cover any sort of distance. I put her on my shoulders on the way to school but you can't do that with a baby in a sling as well.
We've tried her on a balance bike and a scooter but she hasn't really taken to it yet, which is a shame. I'm sure she will eventually.

https://www.shoppingtrolleysdirect.co.uk/search.php I'm coming over as an acvocate for them, honest I'm not, never used them or any connection, just hate to see people waste money on manufacturers websites where they try to fix prices.

That looks very similar, like I said Maz has had hers for 4 or 5 years and it gets used a couple of times a week.

She would appreciate something with a more modern design is all.
