Prams - what did u go for and why?
Going to start pram shopping this week and just wondering what you all have gone for and what were your reasons for your choices?
I'm looking for something that's light to carry (we live in a flat), one handed, and rear and forward facing (among other little things!) x

It's lightweight, and the carrycot, seat unit and car seat (with adaptors) just clip on and off and it's really easy to manouver, much better than the umbrella fold buggy we have been using for a while now. Seat unit can face either way and it folds up quite small. I used to carry it over my shoulder like a bag when folded!
Looking forward to using it again with this little one x
I needed something that was wasy to move about and fold up small as I dont have a lot of space and have 3 steps to get up outside my door... Ive had travel systems in the past and find they are quite bulky and wouldnt be suitable this time round.
I did look at the pliko switch as that was rear and forward facing but couldnt have the pram with it unles I wanted to pay extra which werent a major issue as I would have the lay down bit of the buggy from birth but it was 100 more than the pramette x
It was a bargain at just ??199 for travel system and carrycot and came in lots of colours to choose from, my friend who's 6 wks ahead of us came round the other week to look at it and has now got it in a different colour so we are Quinny Twinnies LOL.
It's so light and everything is just a click to change - right up my street
That's such a good price PBubs x
We have gone for a double this time and bought the baby jogger city select from ebay. Went for this one as you can have both children forward facing, it folds easily, it has a HUGE shopping basket and can be used as a single when we no longer need it as a double. On the downside though it is very heavy but then I guess it needs to be as it is a double.
Went for a look today and I liked the iCandy apple. They didn't have a cherry just an apple and the peach. The peach looked good online but in the shop it was very low and seems like baby would be very far away! The apple was higher up so liked it better.
The apple frame did seem pretty heavy tho and as we are currently in a flat it might be too much to carry it up and down the stairs.
How often do u carry your prams folded? I guess I'd leave the chasis in the car most if the time but as we can't park outside our flat it could become a pain.
So many options!!
I didn't do much carrying of mine folded, it really did live in the carboot x
the new m&p cybex aton is very lightweight too if anyone is getting a M&P pram or a pram thats compatible with the aton x
on another note i won my ebay auction so just have to go pick up my double buggy at the weekend hopefully!!
