to think I've ordered wrong colour pram

[Icelollycraving]

I know this is not wildly exciting but we ordered the stokke today & I was a bit underwhelmed by the colours. I have ordered the purple because it's a little different but after speaking to mum who said 'purple!! How disgusting!'
I didn't like the red,dh said black navy or purple as the lighter colours would look grubby quickly.
I'ts just such a huge whack of money to not be sure,any opinions?

I have the purple stokke and I love it. I am always being told how nice it is. I'm sure you will receive only positive comments
when pushing it. Your mum will probably change her mind when she sees it. If not, she has no taste!

Are they the ones that look like office chairs?

Well I guess they are different to a traditional silver cross!

lol get used to it.people opine about everything
sure it is nice,so ignore her

Its a pram. What difference does it make what colour it is?

To be fair, I had a traditional Silver cross and everyone took the piss

Dear God on this holy green earth ... be grateful you aren't in a 3rd world country and having the offspring in a sling whilst you week paddy fields for thruppence a day.

My children all travelled in a grey pram. They don't seem to have suffered in any way at all.

Well clearly,I'm extremely grateful to not live in a third world country etc etc blah blah.
It was a momentary mini panic,didn't realise it could only be worthy aibu this evening!

I am loving the purple one. Purple is the best colour, great choice!

I saw a woman on the bus with a purple icandy today. I did momentarily wonder if she'd notice if I switched them when she wasn't looking.

be grateful you aren't in a 3rd world country and having the offspring in a sling whilst you week paddy fields for thruppence a day.

Oh dear God, it's pram talk. Wtf has the 3rd world got to do with it!

I've seen the purple one - it is divine; deep mulberry rather than luminous

Well thanks everyone :) it seems purple is the one then....just as well just said to dh shall I change the order & he said no,they were ordering it as we left as we want it asap so that's it,ordered.
Changebags -I'm sure she would have given you a head start but depends on who had the quieter baby :)

DS2's pushchair is orangle and purple. I like purple

does it really matter?
it's a pram

That's a result, it took nearly four hours before some eejit mentioned the third world... (which I believe is no longer an acceptable term btw...)

I don't think the baby will care which colour!

In TOWIE-speak, am wel jel. If only I had seen a Stokke before I bought our Bugaboo. Every other fucker has one here now (and I don't mean SW18, am in a crap coastal town). But have yet to see a real life Stokke down here, so wish I had one - would love to have DS up higher to chat to.

How long do they last, as in how big a child would it take?

Does the Stokke pram blow over in the wind more than other prams?

Well,they said about 3.5. We bought the buggy,carrycot,family fix etc so I'm hoping that's all we will need. Think dh will have a fit if I become a pram gatherer!
You can alter the height considerably.
Liked bugaboo first,then iCandy then chose today between iCandy & stokke today. It has an option to clunk it up stairs without folding it down which I think was the clincher for dh as we live in a flat.

Purple is gorgeous. I had navy and white when mine were little, loved it at the time but there are so many lovely colours around now. Enjoy.

I have the Navy Stokke V3 because I needed it urgently and wish I'd had the purple one it's lovely, if you really don't like it you can buy replacement covers and sell the purple on ebay.

More jel by the min. I wouldn't be able to resist the fur-trimmed hood and glove things, personally. Will look amazing with the purple fabric.

YANBU buying a purple pram, YABU buying a stoke they are discusting looking things.
