Hi there,
Silly question but we're expecting our first kid and starting to look into prams.
I've always thought we needed something that folds with one hand, for ease and efficiency. If possible with carrycot still on it, so I was thinking of getting sthg like the Peg Perego book pop up. But a London friend told me she actually never folds her pram except for car journeys.
We don't have a car and will use mostly buses and trains. We live in Greater London and will occasionally go into central London so will use the tube. We might take the eurostar or other train a couple of times a year. I can see folding would be useful on train (but then you have time to fold with two hands if needed I guess) but the rest of the time would the quick fold be of no use? Should I be looking at other features as a priority?
We're also wondering how key the carrycot is. I liked the Uppababy Cruz if folding with two hands is ok. Technically it is suitable from birth but baby might look lost and needs to be strapped... So was thinking of buying carrycot too. At the same time, a lot of people seem to say their baby outgrows the carrycot well before 6months, same thing w Bugaboo Bee. So is it worth it?
It's hard to know before your life changes what you will need, so would really love opinion from mums who have a similar lifestyle (no car, not social animal but still planning on going out to coffee shops and trips to nearby towns by train occasionally)
Thanks a lot!
