Hi thereI am currently looking for different prams in the past few days and narrowed my choice into 2. The two prams that are battling now for me are Icandy Cherry and BabyStyle Oyster. I've seen loads of reviews with pros and cons between these 2 and still confused. I had a go of Icandy cherry and it seems very nice. Very lightweight and easy to maneauver which is perfect for my figure since Im petite and a lil bit thin. I think its pretty sturdy as well. I haven't had a go of Babystyle oyster yet but what I like in Oyster is that,it big canopy which is really good for summer holiday and has mosquito net. Another thing is that i felt it's easy to bring anywhere since it can fold with the seat. A lil bit disappointing for this is that, I read some reviews that the chassis can break easily. I also read that the wheels and break can be stiff at times.Ahh, Im sooo confused !

I know that prams are personal choice but reading and hearing experiences from users are important in considering great pram for bubbaCan anyone share their experiences good or bad between these two prams or other lightweight, easy to fold, easy to meaneauver and sturdy pram please?

I think from what you've written the icandy sounds best for you. You can always fit a bigger parasol if you need to, and the mosquito net, if you're in the UK is a rather bespoke requirement, unless you live in Otterburn....lots of midges...

re: stiff wheels, I read similar reviews before buying a Hauck Infinity - people complaining the wheels were stuck/stiff/wouldn't steer. So . . . I oiled them! 3 years and 2 babies later it's still good as new. I wouldn't take much notice of the wheel complaints.

I've bought the charcoal silvercross 3D pram system

Love my cherry. Have had no problems with it. Bought it with seat only so can't comment on carrycot. Nice to push, comfortable for the baby, fairly lightweight for a parent facer, good to take on London Transport. It is NOT the buggy for you if you need to fold regularly though.

Agree with Auto - I did buy an umbrella fold for taking on the bus, cherry no good for that (if you need to fold for your buses).
Loved it with the carrycot, a proper "pram" feeling. The seat was good for being able to face toward you or away. And if you get the maxi cosi car seat that's a very handy combo. I had one problem with the seat (started falling between positions) and the shop switched it over for me instantly.
Sadly I now don't think there's such a thing as the perfect pram, I think we all need two of them!
