Frankly, we don't have tons of money, and I'm really starting to wonder if I need to be shelling out for a pushchair from birth.
It will be nearly September when the baby comes, and it will be grim and rainy a lot of the time--I don't foresee a lot of walks through the park TBH. I drive, so obviously will have a carseat/baby carrier thing. I was thinking I/DH could use a sling if taking the baby somewhere/out walking.
I do my food shopping online, and frankly hate other types of shopping. If I went somewhere with the baby, I'd most likely be driving.
Geez, I sound like a complete recluse, but am imagining my life will pretty much consist of being stuck on the sofa breastfeeding for a few months!
I do think we'll get a pushchair later on, but what I want to know is, how long can I get away with not having one? Is it realistic to wait? How much did you actually use your pram/pushchair during the first few months?

Hello,
We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the products mentioned on this thread aren't available any more. If you decide that using a pushchair is the right option for you, you'll want to make sure you choose the right one. We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing prams and pushchairs, from lightweight easy folding prams to all terrain buggies, we've seen them all.
Here's our round up of the best baby pushchairs on the market right now.
Hope that helps!
