Prams

Hi,

Does anyone have any pram recommendations? There are so many to choose from. I quite like the Mountain Buggy, but have heard that it is quite heavy.

Any advice would be great :-)

Thanks

Can't really help with ticker but Mountain Buggy all the way for me. Don't find it heavy at all, quite the opposite. It is a breeze to push and steer accurately with one hand.

You'll generally find that people are either Mountain Buggy gals or Phil n Teds gals. ANd they generally don't like the other brand At least that is what I have found.

I love both Mountain Buggy and P&T. We have a P&T Sport but would have bought a MB Swift if there was a toddler seat attachment with it. Sadly there isnt so we went with a P&T.

For your ticker you need to put in the [IMG] code at the front and then [/IM G] at the end of the linky but without the space

Have a look through the product review threads re prams and also have a think about what you will be using you pram for.

We have just bought a P&T Vibe which I love, we needed an inline pram that has the extra seat so I can get around on public transport and in the shops easily.
Downsides - the baby can't face you (unless you use the Peanut but then you can't have two kids in the pram) and it's still quite bulky compared to an umbrella type stroller.

We also have a Peg Perego Switch (4 wheeler, umbrella fold) which can forward/rear face and the seat comes off and you can put a capsule on the wheels too. That was invaluable for us for the first year because it meant I could get my son out and about really easily in taxis.
Downsides - 4 wheels not as easy to steer on crappy footpaths and the wheel base is JUST slightly too wide to go through our front gate unless I have both gates open

So you see, the options are endless

I think it depends how much you will use it and how many kids your gonna have and how far apart.

My bertini was a fab pram that was a light 3 wheeler and simple as to close and open. It doesn't have the option of a toddler seat. So if thats not an issue thats what I'd personally go for over the mountain buggy. My bertini racked up the k's with me and it was still looking fab

Also putting my hand up for Mountain Buggy!!

Have pushed a friend's P&T's and found it terrible to steer, a real PITA.

Compared to my Urban Elite anyway

I LOVED my mountain buggy!! very light and SO easy to push and swivel. We got a phil and ted when number two was on the way and I hated it with a passion, the break was a *%$@#!!!.

So i vote Mountain Buggy

im not due till aug but have decided on phil and ted dash have babysat and used both the mbuggy elite, the pandt sport and also the pandt dash.and also the bugaboo.
i had always had my heart set on the mbuggy as i like the bassinet thingy but after trying them all out in and out of car etc dash won me over.
i would say if you can test like i did do!! prams are so expensive and would be sucky if you don't like it after awhile. dp couldnt justify the cost of a bugaboo DAMIT!!

I love my steelcraft strider4! Ill upgrade to the new plus model with toddler seat when two comes along.

Found that the capsule i wont can clip on with a bit of kiwi ingenuity too so it also doubles as my snap n go wheels!! LOVE IT
