maybe you should go for the "free option" then once baby is here if it doesnt suit you could get another? at least that way you won't have wasted money? i was only thinking of going for icandy because i'll be getting a 25% discount, def woudnt pay full price i dont think.

Definately makes sense....think we'll probably go check it out in a shop...and if its ok then go for it !

you know i'm a tight ass anyway so free is always good.... i just think you'll find that they are babies for such a short period of time you wont need the 'baby' accessories for very long at all.

me tooo!! was definitely not worth the money! Its heavy, and after a while the wheels seemed to turn into trolley wheels and have a mind of their own!! it was so hard to push and if u stopped at a kerb or something, it was a real effort to get the pushchair going in a straight line !!

Would definitely not buy another one!

But then we have a dilema ....my OH is in car sales and gets points ( like club points). He can get us one of the Graco travel systems ( its 'from birth' pushchair and car seat)......and it wont cost us a bean !!!!

What do you reckon???

i dont know while ur still deciding i say go for the Graco lol my sister got 1 a few years ago and was only like £180 and her daughter was in it until she was 2...so id say they're just as good xx

After all my online research it seems the general consensus is the more expensive the pram/stroller/pushchair is the more lightweight and easy to fold it will be. They use a metal (more expensive metal) that is better quality.

Take the Freebie. If you don't like it buy the one you want. 800 quid is way to expensive for my tastes, I personally would go mid range and put the rest into savings account but I am a Saver when it comes to money

.

I am also terrible at deciding between products I love, the pram will be the worst purchase we have to make ! LOL .

I personally could never spend that amount on a pushchair, i would go for free hun!! like the other ladies say try it and then if you dont like it sell it used and use that money towards another pushchair. I wont be spending more than $300 for a travel system i dont see the point.
