To buy a pushchair in 'girly' colours for my son?

[MrsMymble]

The cheapest colour option for the buggy I am after is blue with a pink lining. I asked DM and she practically recoiled in horror. I just don't see why I should pay an extra £30 for a more 'masculine' colour for my 1 year old!

Well don't then!

No don't do it...he'll catch the gays.

YANBU, just do it

If he's safe and warm in it, buy it. YANBU. If DM is worried about it just tell her you'll keep the £30 you saved for his therapy if needed.

I'm sure he won't mind! My son only got "colourist" when he was about 3.5 and he's been out of his pushchair for a year, but blue was cheaper when I bought mine....

Beat me to it Worra

its a pushchair the colour will not affect its practical.performance in any way, get tbe cheaper one!

If you are worried about the pushchair being pink then you can get a cosytoes with the money saved. I would sell you my buggysnuggle, but its bright pink.

You can buy cheap liners from EBay if the colour worries you. Sod the colour if it means you save cash!

There !!!

Keep him warm and snug in winter and hide the pink.

Really OP, why on earth should it matter?

Pink is my 2.5 yo son's favourite colour

My mum bought some bargain all-in-one vests before my son was born and we then knew he was a son. While I was still pregnant I agreed that it didn't matter that they were a bit girly if the baby was a boy as they would be under the clothes. However when it came down to it I just couldn't put them on him and gave them away :)

As obtuse as it sounds, I'd buy a neutral or boy coloured one - but that's just me - if it is possible to cover the pink then I'd maybe buy it.

I just wouldn't have wanted people to think I had an ugly girl instead of a handsome boy :o Though No2 son was actually more pretty than handsome and still at age 11 he gets mistaken for a girl due to the fad for longer hairstyles!

amck5700 Not always the case

DD many times had on pink girly outfits with trousers (with pink hearts on) and a pink pram blanket and neutral pram, and still got called "laddy" and other derivatives for boys.
Likewise, when DS was born, would be in boy clothes but called girly alot due to him being similar to his 20 month old sister.

ReallyTired Nice spot!

Or you could try your local Freecycle -I got a Bugaboo for a friend off my local one.
