I am a father, and have recently bought this pram. I would perhaps warn people against buying this model although other prams by Mamas and Papas are generaly very good. I would treat this one with the same respect as a second hand car. Check the wheels and be wary of the rubberised tred (it will not give a lot of ware). The pram and parents are both a very personal thing, but none practicality has to come first on this one.
