:o Hi Lyndsay I no my Fiance is having a head fit that we still have not got the pram sorted its just I cant seem 2 find the right 1.Did you find it hard picking your pram?
Yes, it was a nightmare! There is so much around and everyone seems to have such a good 'sales pitch'. We nearly bought a Bugaboo, they look good, they are a true all-in-one sytem and are really lightweight for lugging around on public transport etc. Then I realised I don't actually use public transport. I just need something I can fold up and chuck in the back of the 4WD. And I actually prefer the idea of a seperate carrycot and buggy so I can use the carrycot in the house without having to dismantle the whole system. Basically I got sucked in by the sales hype as opposed to what mattered to me.
I believe John Lewis do a great 'match your needs to your pram' service. So do 'Daisy and Tom', but there are less of them around and they are quite expensive. Thats where we ending up going though, as I fully intended to head round all the shops getting demo's and then go internet shopping for the best price (hey its a consumer marketplace) but in the end 'Daisy and Tom' were so helpful, and had a 20% off everything day that meant they were only fractionally more expensive than the best internet price, so I ordered there and then. We did try Mothercare, but the girl in there didn't look old enough to be out of her own pram, and certainly didn't know anything about them other than to answer.... 'erm, yeah, I guess so' to our questions, so that fell flat! (and the girl in 'Daisy and Tom' booked to have her and her friends nails done for Xmas, so that sealed it for me!)
For me, the turning point and best thing I can recommend is sit down and make a list of the ways you will need to use the pram, and therefore the key criteria you need. Do you want lightweight, or rugged and sturdy? Do you want something that will double up as a carrycot? Have you chosen a car seat (bearing in mind you cannot drive your baby home from hospital without one)? if so, will you need it to fit to the frame. And what do you need in the way of a braking system? Are you likely to be going up and down hills or off road, or just walking flat pavements? Then get your list and credit cards, head to the shops and get those sales assistants working for their money!
Good luck hun, you'll find one thats perfect for you, but it won't necessarily be what suits the next person as usuage is so different! And let us know what you end up going for!
