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 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.

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 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 )

You can use it up until the same age as any other pram. 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.
