to buy the silvercross Kensington?

[Happypenguin2014]

I am desperate to have this pram in my life.
Only thing is I will need to get a normal pram too.

But I want this pram. so. bloody. bad!

I could actually cry I want it so bad lol.

It's definately a marmite thing, I think they are awful and always have but each to their own.

I would like to know where novia lives though as apparently getting around is easy as everywhere has to be wheelchair accessable. As a parent of a teenage wheelchair user all I can say to that is 'if only'

We are from a seaside town in Kent - probably built with coach-built prams in mind.

Preloved is worth joining. I got a Babyjogger (going for £200+ on ebay) for £40 on there!

Btw, looking at reselling it if anyone is interested!

My Mum saved me our Wilson (same as the Balmoral, think Silver Cross bought them out). I was lucky enough to live in a house with a big enough hallway for it and absolutely loved it although I probably didn't use it out as much as I'd have liked. That's down to laziness taking the car on my part and the big hill on my way home from anywhere. It's really easy to manoeuvre round corners even with one hand, let's face it no buggy is fun taking round shops! They are brilliant for long paved walks with plenty of room for shopping. You can fit on modern buses and aren't any longer than a Phil & teds just taller. I used it a lot to get babies to sleep as they loved the bouncing, then slept outside. When had second baby I got a seat for older child and until she learnt to climb it was a safe place to leave the baby if I dashed upstairs. Everyone talks to you so you do need to be in the mood for others reminiscing!

I agree with the marmite thing- I think they look foolish, maybe it's a SE thing but here ( and I live in a city) people who use big prams stick out like a sore thumb as aspirational, young first time parents. Fathers look particularly stupid and sheepish pushing them around.

happypenguin-"ekkkk taking husband to go and look at a new Kensington tomorrow just to make him fall in love."

Trust me he will be humouring you at best.

Think it's only £5 per year to join Preloved and it's very worth it.

If you saw how I dress lol I already stick out. I get looks and comments all the time. It'sa very mucch needed confidence boost

Thanks novia , sounding better by the minute!
pity i can't afford to move.

sovery I agree. While I love the look of the pram, my main concern was the fact that it was comfy, warm, safe and high up enough so that they avoided the worst of the car fumes etc. When DS was little I had a maclaren and he got brushed with someones cigarette once, his head was the perfect height for a cigarette dangling in a hand.

And the babies were so comfy in the pram too, it was like pushing round a big bed on wheels. Frankly I dont care what people thought I looked like, if looks are the main consideration when buying a pram then you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

I want a pink one and I don't even have a baby or ever planning to have another one!

U2. That is a little bit UR.

I have a Silver Cross corduroy pram in airforce blue. It's from the late 70s I think, the one with the curved carrycot rather than the straight edges. It's in great condition apart from a nick in the lining.

DS has never really been into it tbh. You can have it if you like. I think it's nicer than the uber-traditional ones.

Althought as much as I love proper prams, I think this might be over doing it somewhat!

I know Life

If I had the money and room I would so have one as an ornament in my living room.

Honestly? That gold and blue one looks like a coffin on wheels I'm all for people having whatever pram or buggy they fancy but that one gives me the creeps.

I think they look ridiculous, except in dated pictures of the royal family.

YABU.

They are chavtastic.

I believe Katie Price wheeled one of her kids around in that pram. 'Nuff said.

Chavtastic, I love that word

And your username

Ok, sovery, they look chavvy.

Cheap.

Tacky.

Take your pick...

I have the same one as posted in some pics up thread. Apart from anything else they are better for a baby's core strength/physical development than most of the modern prams/pushchairs.
