Why is finding the right pram so hard?!!!
Hi All,
I really need some help. I've been looking at the other posts about Silver Cross and Bugaboos etc etc and I still have no idea what to get!
I really wanted the Silver Cross 3D and all the sales assistants would recommend it but looking at a number of reviews many people have said the mechanism has gone and it's not worth the money...and so on. So I looked at a Bugaboo but as space is limited where we live we couldn't do with having a seperate chassis. I've heard the Graco Cleo comes close to a 3D but can't find a shop that stocks it local to us.
So I'm stuck. I know what I don't want in a pram:
3-wheels
pumped tyres
And ideally want I do want is ease of putting up (preferably one-hand) and similar looking to a 3D.
Please has anyone got any suggestions???

I have the mamas and papas pliko p3 travel system and its also available as a pramette which looks similar to the 3d.
I think its a great pushchair its light easy to push, easy to unfold and it folds up really compact as well, my sister also has one and said it lasted her until her lo was walking so definately value for money. She's never had any probs with it, i've been usin mine for 7 weeks and not had ne prbs so far
Hope this helps

(1) Whether you need to go off road.
(2) Whether you use public transport a lot.
(3) Boot space if you have a car.
(4) Handle height of you/partner are particularly tall/short
I'm glad we didn't spend much as we now have a silver cross pop which takes up much less space and is nice and light. I read so many posts from people on here saying how they switched to a lightweight stroller from 6 months and that kinda made me think about how much to spend. Once Cole is out of his rear facing seat (won't be long!) then we'll probably never use the pram again till the next baby!
Also glad we didn't bother paying extra for a pram with a carrycot as we started having cole slightly sat up when he was about 12 weeks as he was nosy and liked to see where he was going!
Hope that helps
The mamas and papas pliko is the next most similar to the 3d and yeah the cleo looks good too. Have you looked at the m&p luna? It has a carrycot that just sits on top so it has the same function as a 3d although it looks slightly different. I have the luna (but not the carrycot) and it is very easy to fold and put up (only requires that you release one clip and it's up). It is wider but flatter in the boot than the 3d and you can put a m&p car seat on it with the correct adaptors.
