Go to a big store that sells prams (like mothercare or something) and push the prams about. You'll probably see something you like the look of but it really helps to push them about to see how easily they steer and what not

I'm getting a Quinny Buzz btw.

I'm getting a silver cross 3d. The carseat attaches to it,or you can have it as a pram, or pushchair.

I'm also getting the silvercross 3d.

Definitely go have a try of some prams in a shop ( i was looking before i was pregnant!) x

Does anybody know of a site that does consumer reports and safety tests on prams? I know it's different for every country, but I am having trouble finding anything that isn't from the manufacturer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I spent ages looking and researching into prams. I read lots of online reviews too.

For me it was between the Silver Cross 3D and the Freeway. I chose the Freeway for the following reasons:

* Both Silver Crosses have large baskets underneath and are easy to fold down and put up.

* The Freeway is easier to control as it has a straight handle whereas the 3D has two handles.

* The 3D has had a lot of bad reviews for babies growing out of them very quickly. Depends on if you're having more than one pram/stroller but I wanted one that was going to last awhile.

* The Freeway is rear facing (towards you) in both lie flat and stroller modes.

* The Freeway has won a lot of awards from parenting groups and magazines.

The Freeway retails for around £450 but we got a new one off ebay for £60.

Here's a couple of pictures of my Freeway:

I have the quinny buzz but i would advise also to go to mothercare fnd one you like then see if you can get cheaper on the internet. I saved myself £150 by doing this
