Ok, I'm pram obsessed! Lol.

However, surely it is up to me and if it keeps me happy then there is no harm done. Also, why is it that others assume that I have a whole 'fleet' of 20 different prams at home because I always have different ones. Well, approx. once a month maybe longer dependant on if I like them or not!

I rarely buy new and always sell one to buy another.

I only speak to one other Mum in the school playground, I just get looks and whispering from others. Until last week when one Mum plucked up the courage to speak by asking if I was a buggy tester and has never spoken since. Then on Friday I allowed dd to walk, (it only took us 2 hrs to do a 10 minute walk, lol!), and another Mum piped up 'Why you letting her walk when you have about 15 different prams'.

Whether its shoes, handbags, clothes etc.... Its all the same and I don't passs judgement on other Mums by having different handbags everyday or a different pair of shoes everyday??

Rant over but its my one little indulgence that I am sad to say I enjoy but wish people would speak to me instead of assume things.

Sorry OTT, but feel better now I've said it!!!

I have had lots of prams in the past - mainly because the wheels wore out though.

When I had dd 10 years ago, I wanted one of those stripey MacLaren's that Zippi was talking about. I was not amused that they didn't sell them anymore.

HappyNYF06, Thank you for the review. My children are out of that stage but I know several new mothers and they will appreciate the info. I in turn am passing the thanks to you.

Don't give it a second thought. SIL is the same she has about 4 pushchairs my Db banned her from getting any more so she sells 1 and then replaces it lol. I think it's a bit mad but each to their own. If it makes you happy Smile

ateapotandacake · 17/05/2016 18:01

Just out of interest where the heck do you store them all? I've got a travel system with a pushchair/carry cot/car seat and an off-roader and it takes up enough space that one lives in the car now!

DancingWithWillard · 17/05/2016 18:34

ZOMBIE THREAD peeps. Although my god it kicked off towards the end huh?!

LunaLoveg00d · 17/05/2016 18:36

I think it's more barking to notice what pram/pushchair someone has, I could barely remember what colour my own one was, never mind notice someone else's.

Changing pram every month is a bit excessive though.

LunaLoveg00d · 17/05/2016 18:37

whoops, that'll teach me for not reading the OP. Wonder if the OP is still buying prams?
