Am due with No4 in July and my parents want to get me a traditional Silver Cross. Now I have not seen any of these about at all recently and I live in quite a chavvy area so will I get laughed at?? Will people think that I am the baby's nanny (will have to get a grey pinafore and apron )?

I had one of these (which my parents also got me) for my DD 13 years ago and although it's a pain the butt in put it in the car, it's excellent from a comfort point of view and good for carrying shopping (could get almost a whole weekly shop in the basket!). It looks heavy but I used to walk about 3 miles a day with it (into town and back to lose weight) and it was fine. I was forever getting OAPs stopping me and saying it was lovely to see a proper pram not those plasticy things . I also used it with my twins for a few months before I got a side by side when they got too big for it.
I am thinking of getting one of those Britax lie flat car beds with the chassis as well for when we go out in the car but intend to do a lot of walking again with the Silver Cross. What do you think?
