its sooo beautiful in real life

I'm not going to buy it (even though the woman said I could pay 10% deposit and the rest over the pregnancy!)

But if I had a bigger house, garden, car and purse I would! grin

DON'T DO IT! You know that you'll just end up with a McLaren in 6 months time.

No, its totally impractical I know!

But in one of those 'dream senarios' where you are walking through the park, in the sunshinem smiling at your tiny baby it would be ideal!

(In reality I'll be trawling through tescos with the new one in the back of a jane powertwin, a moaning 2 year old in the front of the double buggy and a four year old having a tantrum on the floor!) hmm

It is very pretty. And I can totally share your daydream.
But it's not a bit of equipment for people with a RL is it? smile

You cant put it in the car.
It will get filthy and scuffed and will look dreadful
To turn, you have to push down the handle to get the front wheels off the ground, which is exhausting, as it has a soggy suspension
It weighs a ton.
Your child will outgrow it in 6 months.

Need any more?

Having said that, as pram porn goes its rather lovely. And (relatively) not a horrendous price.

Oh, I think it looks naff because of the colours - if you are going to get an old-fashioned type pram then it should be black, surely?

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
