Best Pushchairs/Prams To Buy


Hi,

Thanks Girls

I went at the weekend to have a good look, got the shop assistants trying them all out for me, showing me how they work, was there ages! I really like the Quinny ones, the travel system one where the car seat fits straight onto the frame. I looked at a nice silvercross one too tho..... and she showed me an icandi make which is very similar to the Quinny and apparently she said they were selling better then the Quinny

I think we have decided to get the icandy apple! I am lucky in that there is a stockist in the town that I live as I believe they dont sell them online.

i brought the three wheeler urban detour, it looks like the mamas and papas three wheeler, it has a car seat, folds up really easily, but i don't drive so i walk everywhere or bus so i was more interested in one that has better steering and a car seat for when my mum wants to go shopping. x

this is the model i brought, in the same colour shown, because i don't know whether im having a boy or a girl! x

It is the icandy apple I am going to buy as well the website has a list of shops that sell them thank goodness there is one close to me....It is £430 for the 3 in 1 which is quite reasonable compared to the price of some others!!

As a mum with an i-candy apple, I can highly recommend it!!!!!! It is easy to manouvre, it is easy to get up and down, easy to change the seating position, the basket is big at the bottom, you can adjust the handle height according to whether you are going up or down hill etc (or in my OH's case, just tall). If it wont quite fit in the boot, the back wheels just clip off, I give it 10/10, I can't fault it, although you do set shop security alarms off with it Infact if I have another baby whilst Alfie still needs a pushchair, we will be going with the i-candy pear, as you can by an adaptor kit for the apple to transform it into a tandem at a cost of £250!

A word of advice too, if you are thinking of buying one, I really wouldn't waste money on a carry cot, as nice as they look they really are not worth the money in my opinion. We bought a cosey toes and never had time for the carry cot as it was a 6 weeks wait, so we put the pram in the lounge and Alfie slept in it all the time, he was a snug as a bug in a rug! x
