I'm Currently Feeling:  | Help needed
I have very kindly been given a pram from a distant relative. The thing is it's an old silver cross pram which I love and wanted intially but I'm very usure about whether I'll use it now as it is quite hefty and neither DH or I drive but everything is local. Am I being too self conscious? has anyone had one and would say they are a good/bad idea? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I live in Canada so we don't have the same brands here...........but we don't own a car either so buying a lightweight stroller that could be taken on and off public transit was a HUGE thing for us. I'm honestly not sure how I'd approach the situation though..........I guess it would depend on whether the relative went out and bought the pram or if it's a handme down type thing.... |

I'm Currently Feeling: | It is a hand me down which isn't my problem I just worry too much about what other people think.
The pram is a bit like this  but a different colour
Thats a pretty big pic  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | If its impractical for you then no one would care if you think twice about having it.
If you like it and it does the job for what you want/need then dont worry about anyone else |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Who cares what anyone else thinks? If you like it then use it - I love the traditional silver cross prams  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | If I could afford it, I'd have one of those prams, I don't care how inconvenient they are, they're beautiful. My mum had one with me and my brother (it only cost her £25, can you believe that?!) and I just think they're perfect. Absolutely perfect.  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | OMG I would ADORE one of those prams! They are simply stunning! The new ones in that design sell for £800 now. They are VERY fashionable right now. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They're really great prams!! If you have everything locally and no need to get it in a car then it's great. Also I think you'll get a lot of comments about how beautiful it is! |
