And I mean some, not all!

I really don't understand why some people want to buy a pushchair for 500ish pounds. Afterall, it has to suffer with baby sick etc on it. Understand buying a travel system, or something if you always walk, but many pushchairs are either in the house or in the car boot!

And then they want another one a year later

I know what you mean. Can't believe the price of some prams when you think you can pick up a second hand car for not much more!!

We used a second hand pram, then bought a Mclaren Techno for £120 (and that has been great). Now with number 2 on the way, we've got a second hand double buggy for £50.

I'm judgemental, aren't we all with one thing or another!

Anyway, my personal view is that my mortgage costs the same as some of these prams. IMO, buying a 500pound pram then changing it every 6months (as an ex work colleague did) doesn't make sense to me.

It is different if you need to alter it for your own circumstances.

And.....I'm not saying that all people have more money then sense, I am thinking that some people do

I thik the only problem when I do get really judgemental about this myself is when people spend shitloads of money on a Buggy and save on the carseat...to me the in car safety rates so much higher then the look of a Pram.
