Question

Pliko pramette/ silver cross 3d/ rear facing pushchair combi?


Hi girls,

I can't decide on a pram!! I think it's got to be a toss up between the Mamas and papas pliko pramette or silver cross 3d. Only thing is mamas and paps has a fair few bad reviews posted on review centre, issues with wheels becoming flimsy and a poor harness, and silver cross has more good reviews and considering the mamas and papas is much dearer i'm in two minds. However the other day in the shop, my dp found the silver cross to be quite fiddley. I'm soooo stuck. Does anyone have any firsthand experience of either of them?

Or any ideas for something simliar? Its not us buying it so we don't want it to be to expensive, i don't like three wheelers and ideally would like a combination so i can have it as a pram, a travel system (car seat) and rear/forward facing pushchair. Not that i'm asking for much eh!! Any ideas much appreciated though.

Thanks ladies

im getting the pliko p3 pramette, there have been some complaints about it being heavy but most people have really liked it. Its got the bassinet, and the stroller option. plus u can clip the car seat in. the basket is a good size, the brand is known to be a good one. ( where i come from its peg perego). i looked into others like gracos ( too big to fold) and i cant stand the new retro weird ones like the quinny and others. The pliko is also really nice to maneuver.
one thing to keep in mind is that they are discontinuing the model according to stores in the usa. i dont care about this because i think companies just do this to stay in the "news" bring out more expensive new models. consumer reports also gave the pliko a good review. the bassinet has little legs that pull out too so it can stand nicely on the floor.

Can i just ask, those who have the pliko pramette (the normal one that retails at £300) does it have a forward/rear facing pushchair mode? It didn't seem to offer it but it says it does in the specualtion chart in the mama and papas catologue. I saw the pliko 2 in 1 does but i am not a fan of that empire colour and they don't seem to do it in another. I've heard so much about getting rear facing pushchairs that i'm totally changing my mind on what to get!

I've got the silvercross 3D one and I don't like it. It's hard to get around with Nathan in it and the handles seem quite weak and I also seem to keep kicking the back wheels

I have found it harder than any pushchair I've had in the past to push around, get up kerbs, on and off trains and just general use

I do like the shopping basket though, lol.

I will be using it for this baby though with Nathan on the buggy board so I hope it is easier to push with a small baby in it than it is with Nathan in it
