Hi Catie, try giving Global Baby a call. They specialise in European prams.

I never wanted a 3 wheel pram, as I think they're quite long and not great for using on public transport, plus I just don't like them. So that ruled out about 95% of the NZ market

I don't like Bugaboo, as they're far too expensive and I think the seat is really low to the ground. I didn't like the thought of my baby being at the same level as a car exhaust

I did see some nice 4 wheel prams (sorry can't remember the brands now) but I felt I was making a big compromise with a lot of the features I really wanted eg: reversible seat, large shopping basket, adjustable handle (I'm quite tall).

Thankfully I spotted Global Baby on a trip out to Albany and discovered some wonderful European prams

I chose the 'Brevi Ovo'. It had all the features I wanted plus more! I wasn't on the look out for a modular system, but glad I did get one, as the bassinet was lovely for the first few months. Price wise, it ain't cheap but I got it on discount so it worked out about the same as P&T if you add on all the extras I got.

Brevi Ovo

Plus it makes me feel all special because I've never seen anyone else with one

Does anyone know if it's possible to buy one of the prams that has a carrycot/bassinet that detaches from the chassis and can be used in the car?

There are some European brands (Britax safety-sleep: http://www.britax.co.uk/car-seats/car-seats/baby-safe-sleeper ; Jane: http://www.johnstonprams.co.uk/adverts/matrixlight/ or Bebe Confort: http://bebeconfort.com/Products/Car-seats/Safety-carrycots.aspx ) but I can't find a stockist here - or even in Aus?]]> Fri, 27 May 2011 18:30:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1335148&title=prams#1335148 <![CDATA[Prams : we were gifted a Mountain Buggy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1332772&title=prams#1332772 Author: Ode2Joy

I have a steelcraft strider 3 and I love it. It does take up a fair bit of space in the boot, but I love the fact that the seat is reversible so my baby can face me when we're out and about, and I can see her at all times. It also has a great basket. If you wait for a sale at Farmers you can pick these up new for about $400 which is another plus as far as I'm concerned. If I had the money I would buy a strider 3+ which can take a bassinet and a toddler seat also, but they are far more expensive.]]> Fri, 29 Apr 2011 15:40:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1315129&title=prams#1315129 <![CDATA[Prams : I LOVE my Mountain Buggy Swift....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1314435&title=prams#1314435 Author: Hayz001

I LOVE my Mountain Buggy Swift. I bought a Steelcraft eden 3 wheeler when i was pregnant, but when actually using it after baby arrived found it cumbersome, tyres hard to blow up etc etc. So bought a Swift - best purhase ever (and no, I don't work for them!). I have a pretty small sedan and it fits in the boot no problems. the storage basket is surprisingly big, the harness is great, steers well, great on and off road (i take it bushwalking and along the beach almost every day). Great price too. I suppose the only thing is that all the covers etc are sold separately. ]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:03:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1314435&title=prams#1314435 <![CDATA[Prams : Thankyou for replies, gives me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1312154&title=prams#1312154 Author: Kels

Thankyou for replies, gives me more options to look at when pram shopping with the City Select Elite and the Adventure buggy Everest.

I have a City Select Elite and LOVE it!! It is so easy to manoever, it folds up in a second and is not labourous at all. The "hood" also has an additional section so comes down lower than all others and keeps the sun from getting in baby's eyes. Not a bad thing to say about it- highly recommend!]]> Mon, 25 Apr 2011 08:54:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1312102&title=prams#1312102 <![CDATA[Prams : I have a Mountain Buggy and my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1308060&title=prams#1308060 Author: nannyabbey

I have a Mountain Buggy and my bestest friend has a Phil and Ted - she actually likes my mountain buggy but because they travel lots the Phil and Ted works better for them because it folds down smaller.]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 20:30:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1308060&title=prams#1308060 <![CDATA[Prams : I have an Adventure Buggy Everest....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1307996&title=prams#1307996 Author: pudgy

I have an Adventure Buggy Everest. Link

Made in NZ by the guys who started Phil n Teds. It folds down flat so you can have it on bottom of the boot of your car or on it's side.

I use it every day have had it 2 years and it's just like new. You can get top mounted toddler seats too. ]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 19:10:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1307996&title=prams#1307996 <![CDATA[Prams : I have a MB and I love it.

I have a MB and I love it. Nice and light for running and walking with, decent size tray thing underneath, moveable handle (so can be put in the perfect position whether you are tall or short) and storm and sun covers are easy to get on and off.

That said, the only thing I don't like is the amount of space it takes up in my boot. Its massive and you can't get much else in the boot when its in there.

Good luck with your decision.]]> Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:59:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1307991&title=prams#1307991 <![CDATA[Prams : What pram do you have?? pros and...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38836&PID=1307883&title=prams#1307883 Author: Kels
