Anyone had their buggy weighed?
What's a standard 70'ish bettle weigh?
Curious...

Thanks... I was thinking a little less... but I wasn't including gas. jk... I had no clue. I'm sure the color green adds several extra pounds because of all the coolness... :mrgreen:

Actually, what really adds the weight is all the accumulated dust on the Green because the owner waits until the poor wife has time to clean his buggy. :D :D

No data but was told 1200 lbs and sounds right given 1) dry weight measure and 2) svelte and slimming "light' green. 8-)

No data for my buggy either; however, since I have moved away from Velcro as a fastener method, she's probably up a few hundred pounds! :mrgreen:
