Pushchairs - how much would you spend?
Sorry if this is a cheeky question but this will be our first baby and we have been looking at pushchairs. The one we like is a Jane Nomad ad comes with the pushchair, carrycot, car seat, foot muff, bag, and raincovers. This comes to approx ??600. Are we mad to be considering this??

We just bought ours yesterday for ??119. We're young and skint but it was a fantastic buy, we were messing around with it all nite and it's really easy to set up and use. I did want one with a carrycot but they're very expensive so we got the graco mirage travel system in the end. The only bad thing about it is u can't use the rear-facing seat (car seat) for long journeys and have 2 use the forward-facing bit, it's still suitable for a newborn but I always think rear-facing is better for the first few months.
I think ??600 is a bit much. You can get one with everything inc. for about ??300. But if u can afford it and have your heart set on it then go for it!
Good luck

If you feel you can't afford that kind of money then why not but the pushchair and car seat but not the carrycot- or use the carry cot at night instead of buying a moses basket (these can be about ??80). Another alternative would be to find a store that allows you to reserve your pram and pay by installments, then your not out all of the money in one go.
I think the Jane prams are cool- my sil has one and her twins are three she is a fitness fanatic and walks for miles with it and its still like new so its obviously very hard wearing.
This might sound stupid but it is a difficuld decision to make so don't rush into it and try to be practical as well as stylish. As the others have said shop around.

Go with whatever you want to chick its totally up to you i know that i would of been annoyed if i got a different one but wanted this one although my parents paid for it so that made my decision ALOT easier.

I think they spent arounf ??600 odd dont know the exact amount but they are letting us buy it for a mear ??100 which I am thrilled about! Its barely been used and the child who was in it was family!
what a touch!
It might be worth asking around you can get what you want at much less of the cost?
Failing that I took a friend to see a cot advertised on Gumtree yesterday, It was in beautiful nick, the house was lovely big and clean and your under no obligation to buy it if your not intrested plus you can see photos before you go...
Maybe another way to get what you want without paying the full price... I know some poeple can be funny about seconds but if you think about it, it was only a baby in there before and you can judge yourself by the house ect...

My friend has one so I have been having a try - it seems very easy to push.
Good luck.
