This £300 pram is too small

41 replies

My baby is six months and two days old. This is a foldable ergobaby pram at £300. Usually a little more.
I think it's not going to fit him for much longer.

Any recommendations for a pram that will fit in a small boot? I have a bigger pram that I can use for rough terrain, just need something to whip out of the boot.

His legs aren't the issue, it's more the shoulders

Hi OP here. Can't sign in so made a new account.

The shoulders look like they are filling the pram and as he grows the pram tapers.... So I don't see how he will fit in it?

You know the insert comes out and it’s fine for legs to hang over the end, don’t you?

This pram doesn't have an insert

It doesn’t look too small, his legs will just dangle over the edge when he’s bigger which is fine, and he’ll be taller in it.

I also can’t see the issue.

Devilsmommy · 30/05/2024 16:58

I do see what you mean, does the bottom part not lift up for his little feet to rest on?

MumChp · 30/05/2024 16:48

Why do you think he won't fit? It should last at least 2 years.

Aww his little feet! 🧸

Sorry - that doesn't help!

The Metro+ goes up to 22kg, age 4. Check the manual for ways to adjust to suit a growing baby. The straps will likely reposition and you might still have a newborn insert in place.

Take off the bar.

InTheRainOnATrain · 30/05/2024 14:37

Doesn’t look close to being outgrown. Do the straps adjust upwards?

Corksoles · 30/05/2024 14:36

I'm sorry. In the way you've got it configured and perhaps the way the photo cuts, I can't see any problem. It's fine if his feet dangle when he's sitting. Or is his head squashed?

How about the bugaboo butterfly?

Don’t get the baby zen yoyo - it’s rubbish for tall children - my two year old outgrew it so quickly and was so uncomfortable

it doesn’t make sense a 6 month old will outgrow a pram so fast though - maybe something can be adjusted

He will fit in it for ages as he will grow longer now not wider 🤷‍♀️

turkeymuffin · 30/05/2024 14:33

Is there an insert you can take out?
