This is my 3rd DC, but unexpected and 4 years since last DC. So we've chucked all our babystuff and it's been 7 years since I last looked at the pram market.
So... I started another thread here about a specific pram, the M&P Sola. I got some good advice there, with suggestions of the Oyster and Bugaboo Bee too. But maybe I need more general advice?
I need/want:
From birth. Preferably to last into toddler years, rather than a traditional pram.
I don't need to use it on public transport.
I don't need it to handle rough terrain.
It will mainly be for putting in the car and pottering around town or the park and things.
Car seat compatible.
Easy to use with minimal faff.
I would consider a carry cot if I could use this as a bed in our room for the first couple of months (instead of a moses basket, which we used for previous DCs).
The Bugaboo Bee seems £££, but do other brands add up to similar once you buy the car seat and everything? I'd rather not pay loads for a big fashion statement, but I would pay more for a genuinely good quality pram.
We previously had a M&P Pramette which I liked because it was from birth with no need for a carry cot. But it was a real PITA to fold (and stay folded) and the straps weren't long enough for my toddler.
Any advice appreciated; I know there are some VERY knowledgable pram folk here!
