First I was certain I wanted a Silver Cross but now I'm not sure if it's too hard to put down and too heavy?
My hubby insists on a carseat that is properly fitted by Vauxhall but isn't it better to be able to lift baby out in the seat when he's asleep?
Now I'm wondering about front/rear facing options too!

Lets just hope someone on here has it all sussed so they can give us some useful advice.

By the way, there's a lovely lady in Preston Babies R Us that spent ages showing us all the different models. Even though I'll be buying mine in Reading (bless her!).

Like my OH does not see the point in the pram i want, but then i made some comment to the fact that i liked his idea about saftey and things and that i thought his idea of a lying down carseat was great (the pram i want does that) also said that u know its the only one that looks masculine as well.... cant really remember exactly what i said but seemed to have worked and now im getting pestered into going to john lewis to see it ha ha ha!!
Doubt that helps really but hey ho hope you get the one you want in the end. Alternativly make him feel guilty that he's done something really bad and blackmail him for it. Maybe im just really mean i should prob keep quiet ha ha ha!!

I liked it jus wished it had rear facing option - much the same as m and p's pliko pramette. Babies r us (that store anyway) tho, seems to have a lot of big bulky prams on display such as the graco ones. they jus won't fit in our house!
