Pros -
-It's cheap (we got it for ??119), It's so light and VERY easy to push around....Gabe (my lo) has always been very comfy in it and the straps are very secure, it's also dead easy to take the seat cushions off to wash, folds down very simply (though you do need 2 hands), car seat connects easily, big shopping basket.
Cons-
-Doesn't face you (some people dont like this especially for a newborn, but we had no probs, he has always slept in it anyway), only has 2 seat positions (lied flat and sat up...which is fine for my 9 month old but rubbish for a 4 month old when they can't be properly upright but don't like being flat either)
they quatro tour pram is realy good, its bulky and if you use buse's or any public transport its a major hassle as where usually 2buggies will fit on london bus'es with this pram only it will fit and i used to end up waiting sometimes for next bus if the bus was busy or another pram on board.pan n the arse for me, but if i wasnt using the bus i loved that pram and still use it for out walking or short journeys, as its big, comfy, and great suspension on wheels.my lo dont feel a bump.i could go shoping and put six bi plastic bags of shopping under neath,basket is massive! it has clock and temperature next to handles, one hand fold (big folded and very heavy- wont fit in small cars)
the graco mirage is good as its smaller but i taught it looked kinda bany to be honest.i hate when bars lookall bare and the basket was shit for hldin alot of shopping. It just didnt meet me needs walking around london, and without the carseat connected it looked cheap and had no real design to it.then again im a bit of a obsessive on prams i worked selling them for a living.
my fave pram at mo is the silvercross 3d pram.absolutely amazing.has everything you need and looks fantastic.havent used it myself as waiting for lo to get big enouh for just maclaren pram (small & easy).
but three mates have it and not 1 compliant. 1 person brought one back to store saying it hard to unfold and fold again (the chasis splits in half on these prams) but it was broken and once under a year they replaced immediately. they have great warranty and actually keep to there promise, and if they have to take it in for repair they will get shop to provide replacement until you get yours back.x
hold that helps.if you need any more help just ask.x
