to be fed up of people s attititude towards my pram

[hayley2u]

ia m reaaly pissed of at people when walikng down the street witha baby in an awkward pram and a 5 year old, they see you but just keep walikg and make you push around them. its soo rude, plus they would not let me on the bus as it has to be folded down wtf am i expected to hand my baby to someone so i can put my pram down

I am not sure hayley. I have only been on the bus (rarely) with my little lightweight stroller that I can do one handed. In that case I would get to bus stop a few minutes early, take my time collapsing it one handed, and (in theory) be ready when the bus arrived. That is easy for me to say though because bus journeys are very rare for me.

How old is your baby? Once he or she is old enough would it be worth investing in a cheap little stroller for these situations. Your pram could still be used at other times. Would be easier on your back I imagine to collapse a little stroller rather than a large pram.

i cant use my push chair much as my baby is too light for it and as soon as some food goes on the back of pram it topples over, plus my pushchair wont lie back which i have found a real pain as dd only sleeps well when lying down, does anyone know of any other push chairs that do that, make my life a lot easier lol. not too fussed on slings i though babies were supposed to lie flat more

hayley just seen your profile pics. She is very scrummy. How old is your dd?

I know very little about pushchairs in general, sorry.

arh one pieceoflollipop thanks for that, she s 8 months ahe ll be 9 months this week but she s been porly so her development has been deleyed so she has only just started sitting up

Oh my dd2 is about a month older. She has only been sitting a few weeks and doesn't roll over yet. (my dd1 was similar, quite late to move about, crawl etc)

• sorry, little hijack but it is your thread!

really thats good to hear, as my dd has epilepsy we were told would have a development delay, my friend d who born 2 days younger than dd is clapping hands, starting to crawl,
dd only sits up, she can say dada and nana though so sweet but no mama yet

Oh she say dadadad all the time but never mumumum! dd1 used to just sit and smile a lot and never walked until about 19/20 months. That's just how she was. I think dd2 will be similar.

A few months ago I saw this family Mum, Dad and Gran, Gran was pushing big fuck off Silver Cross beautiful pram but not in a small shop, best bit was no bay in pram, oh no toddler was walking with Dad so she was pusing empty pram, took up the whole bloody shop.

ds was ver y clever compred to dd he could talk sentences when he was one which was quite freaky for a baby to d lol. completley poty trained at 23 months walked at 14 months
and i thought it was girls before boys lol

lol sweetkitty, the are huge the silver cross arent the gorgeousbut huge

we boring you quattro

I could set up home in some of the prams I see now.

Mad women, what a waste of money, they could be spending it on a decent bottle of wine of a personal trainer

not boring but why get het up about it?

if you feel strongly about it why not grimly plough through people (like most of the others) and force people off the pavement - particularly if you see someone disabled

Sorry, but I well and truly hate prams.

I'll catch flames for this, but the huge ones seem to nearly always be driven by . . . chavs.

oh i have done that before. i do get a bit annoyed in the end and will just look down and walk ahead as i do have terrible pram rage beware lol

kitty i agree, some botox or holiday lol

I hand my baby to all and sundry when getting on a bus.

The old dears are the best

makes life a lot easier

Flames, expat, flames...... there are so many bloody flames coming out of my keyboard its like the towering inferno here!!!!
I had a great big fuck-right-off silver cross, it was fabulous, loved it, it was like a snow plough - AND I'M NO CHAV!!!! How very dare you!!!

they r beautiful lady only as they super huge lol

Have to admit that, yes tis true, it was huge! Fun to drive but really impractical as couldn't get it in the car, so walked miles and miles, it was great for the waistline. Had to use a poxy little pushchair thing when I went anywhere further afield, it was like posting ds into a letterbox laying him in that

lol lady about posting ds in letter box .
that was one good thing about about prams all the walking we do lol

I loved it, and thats something that I really miss about ds now being 12 (gulps!), I loved it when he was a baby and we went out for our walks, we went miles. My pram was grey and silver, and I used to polish it so it shone. I used to put ds outside in it in a morning for a sleep and he was so safe and warm all wrapped up in there.....oh, I do miss it!!
(shakes herself to stop being so mushy and sentimental, despite said pram being all wrapped up in loft as can't bring herself to part with it....)

I have a Bebe Confort Loola and I have it rear-facing because I don't like using buggies that face away. I feel like DS and I can chat properly then (we walk and use the bus most of the time). He's 15 months now and although I did use a sling sometimes in the earlier days I found it pretty tough to carry anything with him in that plus changing bag etc. I have had a few episodes of sciatica in my lifetime (i.e. lasting months at a time- up to a year) so don't want to risk slings too often. I don't want a lightweight buggy - well I have one already and it's awful - a cheap Hauck one in light blue (about £22 from Argos). The wheels don't turn properly so it is really just for emergencies only.

Is a Bebe Confort Loola chavy? Are you calling me a chav then ?
