Prams and Pushchairs - Which One?


Hi All,

I'm really getting into prams at the moment, I'm hoping to buy my one in the sales with some of my wedding money, woo hoo!!

I really like the new Quinny Buzz, just wondered if anyone had already brought one and what they thought of it, would you recommend it??

I love the cool colours they come in, however I think I'll go for the black.





I'm open to suggestions and wanted some recommendations from you ladies..

Also I wondered if there are any I should deffo NOT buy etc.. Ones you've already tried and tested...

The Quinny is quite expensive, esp as you have to buy everything seperately, it will work out to be about 500 ish.. So I'm still looking around and need your help !!

Thanks !!

After watching girls buy pram after pram I was a bit picky on my choice and in the end went with the Icandy Apple ... all in all pricey though but I won't be going out buying 2-3 prams over 12 months!

Frame/buggy £300
Carseat £100
Carrycot £100 (as much as I wanted this us not driving we would mainly use carseat much to my discust so didnt get it after a friends advice too who does drive)
Footmuff £50
Fleece thing for the buggy bit (optional) - £20
Free raincovers for pram and carseat

I love it!!!! Its a smooth little buggy, not heavy! Went to take it home and the door wouldn't shut *easy - clipped the wheel off then clipped it back on* in a second. Optional 1 or 2 wheels ....

If I had another it changes to a double so no having to get a new pram just the adaptors to change it to an icandy pear

Link shows you the setup of pram etc:

With these the companies have to sell at the price the company give - theres no bulk offers etc. Pop into a local baby shop in town theres always one and hopefully they would have one to show you. The back wheels are bulky but the frame fold is fab and like I say those wheels click off and on in a second honestly theres fuss with it.

I looked at the first wheels first and liked (I think it was just the design tbh) - I then looked at the Jane prams online and when I found a local baby shop I 'hated' the Jane and we tried this one out. Both me and OH love it and yer it does look rather swissy hehe

icandy looks nice, hated them at first.. but the more I see them around the more I grow to like them.

We have this colour Mamas & Papas Pliko Pramette.. I love it!



As a pushchair:

We just clipped the car seat on most of the time though, ^ thats not the colour we have, we have the petrol one shown in the first pic.
It is a pram and matching car seat which clips onto the pushchair to form a travel system.:


It's really light, easy to use, comfy, nice material and lasts a while. Also fairly expensive, but worth the money.

I love the Icandy range. If I hadnt gone for the Silvercross its probably one I would have picked. You can use it as a travel system (with the car seat) Pram or stroller.

As a stroller with cosy toes

As a pram & folded down when in pram mode


The car seat


When I bought this it was quite pricey as the changing bag, cosy toes & parasol were sold sepately as an accessories pack so I paid just short of £500 for the whole lot

I beleive when Mothercare brought in the autumn winter catalog the accessories are now included in the price apart from the parasol which is £19.99. You do have to buy the car seat separetly at £90 and the pram is now £299 so to buy it now would cost just a little over £400... I should have waited but never mind.

I couldnt tell you what its like out and about as my little one dosent want to come out but OH and I have been faffing about with it in the house and it seems pretty good. Its not too heavy and seems quite smooth.
