How to choose a pram, pushchair or buggy

Choosing a pram for your baby is one of the toughest decisions you will probably ever have to make! There are that many different types available and different brands that your head will be swimming and you just won't know which one to choose. Cost is the first thing you'll need to consider, prices vary massively and some prams are (in my opinion) way over priced, but some people like to pay for a trendy name; and some are priced very reasonably. People don't seem interested in buying second hand when it comes to prams but there are a lot available on Ebay (mine included - I have a bright red Bebecar flat bed pram which converts into a pushchair and also ...  Read the complete review

'Does this pram go off-road? And how many cup-holders does it have?' Buying things for your new arrival can be a source of great stress and fiscal hardship - you've already seen the complete lack of space in your friend's house after they had a child, with a whole bedroom taken over by the newborn and all their clothes, toys, nappies and so on. Sometimes you wonder if you did the right thing, and whether you should have waited a few more years until you both had a bit more money saved up. Fallacy number 1 - there will never be a right time to have a baby, in terms of money, unless you happen to have scooped the Lotto. They cost more than you can ...  Read the complete review

When I found out I was pregnant with Noah (We didn't know he was a 'Noah' at the time!) the thing I was looking forward to buying the most was of course the pram. I just couldn't wait to get it through my front door and started looking online straight away. Having been a Nursery Nurse I was pretty clued up on what I liked and what I didn't. I ended up going for a lovely little, lightweight travel system that was one of the cheapest I could find. I'm not a 'Showy' person so the name didn't matter and I wasn't about to pay £500 for a pram that did exactly the same as the one I had chosen. It was blue in colour which I felt was fine for either a girl or a ...  Read the complete review

Choosing a pram, pushchair, or a buggy is a hard process to go through if it is your first time at doing it. I have a 14 month old boy, and when I first found out that I was expecting him I set about finding a pram for him. I was stunned by the amount of choice available and felt quite lost with it all. As it was we ended up buying a second hand pram which was the Urban detour one you can find in mothercare. It was a good pram, but I found that it was quite big and difficult to fit into the boot of the car sometimes. So as time went on we bought a Maclaren buggy which is much more light weight and easy to get around, I would definately recommend getting one of these for ...  Read the complete review

When choosing a pushchair, there are so many different issues to consider. This to some people can get a little confusing. We all want to go out and buy the latest designer pushchair, but in reality these days a lot of them are not what they cracked up to be. When I first was pregnant three years ago I was so overwhelmed at the amount of different types/ makes there appeared to be on the market. After doing a lot of research from books, the internet, and asking other people i narrowed my choice down and the most obvious and practical option seemed to be travel system. Travel systems are 3-in 1 pushchair, which are very versatile, because they can be set ...  Read the complete review
