To buy this pram...

I love it but it's cream. Am I mad? DH thinks I am and we should get the Black and Tan version. Parents think I should have whatever I like because it's my PFB.

Give it to me straight.

I think you would be mad to buy a cream pram. Lugging it in and out the car boot. Bumping into things etc. It will be rotten in a matter of weeks.

It's lovely, but having had 3 children I would worry about marks to the fabrics.

I deliberately bought my sons pushchair recently in black for this reason.

Although, bottom line is buy he one you like!

Looks lovely but I would want something darker, as PP has said, all the moving and walks etc, dirt shows up so easily :/ congratulations btw!

In my experience it's more likely to be stained by sick.... which is white anyway right? If your planning on country walks though it might get muddy if it's rained.

No. Just no. It will look disgusting and grubby within weeks and like you are carrying your child around in a flea pit. Find a darker colour to mask the dirt!!!!

The Mamas and Papas Armadillo Flip is very similar with good colour options and the tan leather handle etc.

I have a black buggy, it is absolutely covered in white marks. As is my black top ever since I got in from work this evening.
If you like the cream, have the cream.

It's lovely but it will get borked :(

We went for red and it is now grey. Whereas our friends who went for blue still have a nice pristine pram.

Surely your dhs opinion is more valid than your parents

You are all very sensible and I know you are right! I'm very sad about it though.

So what do we think of this one then?

@stella23 not really. All agreed that it's my choice completely so I'm just collecting opinions. Ultimately don't think my husband gives a rat's arse.

I'd by the navy and tan and get the matching tan leather bag Wink

I love the cream. I'd buy the cream.

@Teachervoice does the pram come with other attachments? My baby hated being laid down and we had to change it to the pram attachment at 4 months.

We have this pram in black. It's gorgeous.

I loved the cream but also thought it'd get filthy.

I was a cheapo (even with the pfb) and I spent £300 on the pram. My son was born giant and he was too big for it by 7 months so I'm glad I didn't go wild!

@DreamingofItaly you're like the devil on my shoulder! 

@throwawaythekey yes, comes with pram attachment which is apparently suitable up to 3 years.

@Catdogcat do you have the jurassic black or the black and tan? How have you found it's practicality? I've heard good things!

If the pram archenemy is cream too then yes, in all honesty it's going to get ditched by muddy feet and crumbs. I'd go dark but if you like it then get it.

I always think those prams are for those who can afford to buy two prams. One for show (like the one above) and one for taking out and about and getting manky. Don't buy it OP, unless you're in the category I've just mentioned

@gunting can def see why that's a good idea. Sort of feel, in a twisted way, that the face full of acne, horrendous bloating and general misery I'm currently enduring entitle me to partaking in a little bit of luxury!

Only joking but hoping this will last for at least one more future child.

Fair enough if he doesn't care, mind didn't either. Theres a nice elephant grey oram around maybe iwhitr similar, but might not get as dirty.

Ffs grey pram which looks similar.

@ballerinabelle think you're probably right. Definitely won't count myself in that category so will be sensible and go for a darker colour.

@stella23 grey is definitely an option. I can't make my mind up whether black is smart or boring?
