When did you buy your pram?

gracieloulou · Mar 9th, 2009, 11:50 AM

Hi

I am gagging to buy my pram and my hubbie won't let me yet.... i am 20 weeks this week and have a scan next Friday, have already had a gender scan at 16 weeks so know its a little girl.

I really want to get it, is it too soon what do you all think?

i dont think its too soon. ur past the 12 week point so y not?
we got ours last week at the baby show...i think buying stuff early is a good idea- u spread the cost and the stress which makes it easier than buying everything in one go! we've already got our nursery furniture, pram, cot matress and the odd little bits and bobs like a couple of cute outfits and bibs etc.

Personally i wouldn't i'm not buying anything until i'm past 26 weeks. That been said there's nothing wrong with buying stuff now i suppose it'll make it more real.

I think past the 20 week mark is ok to start buying things. I have picked my pram, and I think my mam will be ordering in the next couple of weeks x

I spent a lot of time browsing at prams early on. Spotted 1 I loved at 8 weeks. kept looking but still didn't see anything that suited me better. Then I discovered how expensive it was here....

Whilst browsing online sales of it I found it at less than half price in last years colours in a sale, there were limited supplies left so I bit the bullet and ordered it, I was about 15weeks.

I love it, it runs very nicely round my flat and I am get well practiced at folding it!

I bought mine at 22 weeks, i only waited til then cos i couldnt find one i liked and fitted in my boot!

Oh i don't know what to do, i have seen a really good offer on a website and if the offer runs out i will kick myself...

Maybe i will wait till after my scan next week, i will be 21 weeks nearly 22 then... and then 2 weeks for hte pram to arrive i will be 24-25 weeks... so that is probably better....

bought mine at 18 weeks (well my mum did). I found the one i liked over £100 cheaper than everywhere else i had seen it so had to get it in case they caught on and changed the price. Having to find somewhere to put it now tho thats the only downside.
