So, I'm a first time mother who's 6ft tall. WAY over the average. I also live in London, thus no car but I usually do battle with the buses as a means of getting around. Therefore, with these factors in mind, I shall continue...
My husband and I went on a jolly to John Lewis today to test drive some of their prams, the sort that go from newborn to toddler. The Bugaboo Chameleon and ICandy Apple were the best for height, the former best for maneouvrebility but lummy! They are huge and tank-like. I felt anxious about the inevitable bus-related stress of the future just by looking at them. The Bugaboo Bee looks like a much better, urban option but is far too small, both in terms of the handles and the level of the baby's seat.
I'm tempted by some of the Maclaren style prams, but the seats on those only face the child away from the parent and I'd prefer to look at the wee one.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
