Never regretted buying this pram! I seen so many girls get the systems where the carseat attaches to the pram seat & complain about various things from weight to being a pain to uncomfortable (MrsE bought 3 prams I think in a matter of a few weeks ha). This was recommeneded & I love it with a bonus it can be converted to a double  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | i bought a second hand one that is just a pram and a pushchair - no car seat included. I decided I didnt want the car seat option anyway as I too heard they are heavy and they only last until baby is about 9 months. I paid about £30!! Bargain :-)
I chose a seperate car seat that can last until buba is about 4.
I also wasnt too concerned about a new pram - they are sooooo expensive and I dont want baby in the pram very often. If I go shopping I'd prefer him in a sling - I want to have my hands free and to never let baby out of my sight. I think I'd worry even going around a market adn stretching to get the carrots and having to let go of baby for a second.
Witha carrier / sling there's no chance of the little mite getting away from me.
Also I hate the idea of big prams and being in busy palces...the thought stresses me out. So for the early months - at least while baby is light, i'll try and carry him. Hence my cheap second hand pram for days my back aches or for quiet strolls on a Sunday morning!!
If we need a better one we'll see about that when baby is here. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | To which age can you use the icandy stroller? Looks kinda small for a toddler. It looks cute though.
I was looking into Peg Perego pliko P3. They have adjustable handles for taller people and the back of the stroller has metal pedals on which a toddler can stand whilst your pushing the stroller with baby in it. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I got a Gracco travel system in black, its lovely, has carrycot and car seat included from toysrus, was supposed to be £279 but i got in sale for £230 and then joined the babyclub which they knocked another £10 off.
So cheap and really good quality. I had been looking at some and they were nearly £500! I loved this one just as much though, i've set it up and everything! |

| By the looks of things I'm getting a Chelino.. I thought this was an international brand but the only sites I can find of them are South African sites so I think it's a local company... I don't know..
My parents are buying us the pushchair. Obviously it's our decision which one we want.
The designs and quality seem to be similar to Graco. They're actually identical!
We're getting a travel system with the removable car seat. It's not too expensive either. (that's the part that isn't identical to the Graco  ) | | | | Status: Offline

Its not particularly small just has alot of convenient advantages from the wheels clipping on and off, light weight, converts ... personally with me not having a car for the carseat to be attached all the time I find both options of the pram handy when we do go into a car/taxi and then the fact you can lift carseat & go straight onto pram (clicks on in a second) without disturbing baby too much - even handy for the none pram friendly bus ... clip off - snap pram (click and snap its called to put down lol) - on bus - up in a second - clip seat back on!
Its quite a smoothy to push. |
