Ok, well there are a few of us pramaholics on here, let's try and help you.
I remember the feeling of not knowing which one to get. In fact I still get that feeling. That is why I currently have about 15 prams blocking up the hall...cupboards...living room etc.
Having tried soooo many, (there are people on MN who have had hundreds btw so I'm just a 'social' pramaholic I suppose!)
I would say yes, it depends on your lifestyle.
You may need one you can get in the boot, presuming you have a car and use it to take the baby to town/beach/wherever.
You might get away with a lightweight folding one for that, I had a Pliko which folds small, yet is suitable from birth - also it has fittings so you can click the Primo Viaggio carseat on, I've been using that with infant as mainly we don't walk far when using the car, ie school run etc.
But I'd recommend a nice, pram style thing as well because when you do walk somewhere, even to the local shop, a rattling, non-air-tyre buggy can be a bit shaky and jolty for a baby, especially a tiny newborn.
My all time favourite prams are the Emmaljunga because the build quality is impressive - a bit like buying a car, everything is made to last forever, it is beautiful to push, suspension is awesome yet it still fits into shops unlike some.
They are heavy and big though. (I like that aspect - I had a Graco with DS1 and it rolled off a raised pavement with a gust of wind! Next day went and bought a heavy thing)
Emmaljunga also are expensive but much cheaper on ebay...try to get the reversible handle model (Sport chassis) as you can switch it over whn the sun is in baby's eyes. Brilliant idea, many of the German/Scandinavian ones seem to think of this type of issue.
I also have a Teutonia, which does that but is not so large (or pretty!)
And a Gesslein, which is beautiful, also from ebay (nobody here has heard of them which is why they go sooo cheaply : )ie retail at £500 and sell for usually under £100. ours was almost unused and is upholstered like a sofa, with brocade etc. Gorgeous! It folds small and goes in most car boots I'm told. And has a removeable carrycot-lift up thing. Only problem is that it doesn't steer.
As everyone says, you'll want a lighter buggy for when your little one is a bit bigger, this is a good idea, so I'd recommend getting a comfy, lush buggy/pram for when little, and a smaller folding one for the car/ later on.
Once they are over 2-3 though, be warned the small wheeled light buggies are not so easy. I had one and then tried a Quinny Freestyle 3 wheeler, with air tyres...it was nigh on impossible to push DS1 (a big hefty 3yo) in the folding one, but the Quinny made it SO much easier! Probably due to the tyres.
Best for later though is something like a mountain buggy or Easylife, something steerable...that's essential when the child is heavier. And again easily available on ebay for about a fifth of the original price - not mountain buggies actually, they don't seem to depreciate much!
Basically to sum up. Something flat and cushy with air tyres for baby. Especially if you walk a fair bit.
Something folding and light for car/ older baby.
And finally something with big swivelly wheels if you plan to use it beyond 3 years.
Disclaimer...all IMHO of course!
