To think bugaboo "friends" its taking the whole thing a step to far.

Just had a look at an email they sent me and people have actually created there own profiles and added pics of themselves with there prams???!! It won't let me give a link directly to it but its on the bugaboo.com page. AIBU to think its only a bloody pram.

YANBU.

Bugaboo is the pram equivalent of Boden. It grates on me.

It's not a pram dahling, it's a lifestyle'

Grates on me too, but luckily my dc have outgrown prams so I don't have to do the whole 'to bugaboo or not to bugaboo that is the question' thing

I have to say i have one might as well get it out in the open. But i didn't buy it as a bloody accessory thankfully ds is nearly outgrown it and will be glad to see the back of it.
Has anyone ever noticed that people who own one (obviously not myself ) get them out for every occasion. One mum i know recently parked her car outside a restaurant got the pram out put baby in it wheeled it into the restaurant and put the baby in a highchair, what the hell is that about.

I dont think I even know what a bugaboo looks like

lol that's hilarious I've only got a sling, can't be bothered with all the buggy hysteria

Our most expensive mistake. Chuh. We are numpties. DD will not go in it. I take her everywhere in a sling. Sigh. You live and learn.

i remember when they were the hot new thing when i had ds1 (now 4.5) and i didn't know anything about pushchairs but i wanted one that lay flat for a newborn, was very light (for my poor back) and i could kick closed to sling into the boot of my tiny car...ooh and bump up the steps to our victorian terrace...so i picked a maclaren techno xt...perfect although not luxurious (he was in a sling most of the time anyway)..but i do remember feeling rather down market when i tagged onto a nct group and they all had bugaboos

now that i have a phil and teds (which is packed away until dc3 comes out) where abouts on the scale is that? thats quite boden isn't it?

shoot me now, I have 2! and my mum has one I have to say never brought from new and do have a pram addiction!

I'm watching the videos now

I have 2 cup holders on mine. One for me and one for DD's babycino.

Wider, that is more boden than boden. Phil and teds have made two under two the new accessory for wanna be yummy mummies, might even contemplate a 3rd myself just so as i can have one

lol jun!

Maybe she took the pram into the restaurant in case the baby neeeded a nap while they were there?

I love my Bugaboo. I am a pram addict too though and have been through loads (before the bugaboo).
Sorry - but it is the best of the lot (IMHO anyway).

Not sure about joining a group online though- is that not a bit, ahem, 'keen'?
Might have a look out of interest though.....................

(by the way, I don't like Boden much)

A phil and ted requires that "bags under the eyes" look

hahahahah. Went and looked. Its just a pram. Thank goodness there wasn't this pram envy years ago when I had my teens. Ad with dd 4 I haven't had to join in at all as she's never had a pram.

I love mine to frazzled it has been brill, i just don't get the need to be identified with your pram.
Chequers said baby was 11 months and was unlikely to need nap, same mum takes hers everywhere.
Jun, i hadn't thought of that, Genius!!!

god i probably look a fright in my campers/boden combo plus sammies bag strapped onto the handlebar plus clippykit bag on shoulder...i have morphed into my worst nightmare

bags inder eyes>probably, but i usually go for the carefully deshevelled look!

too, even. Requiring starbucks lol

Yes carefully deshevelled look was what I aimed to as well... but I was betrayed by my mothercare double buggy

ok, so just went on the bugaboo site for a little look at the friends thing........

FREAKY!

I have just seen that they have brought out a special bugaboo car seat now though.....didn't know that (sorry - hijack - am pg again so v interested!)

Mine hasn't got any cupholders on it

(note to self : order cupholders immediately!)

(sorry- additional hijack - does anyone use the bugaboo buggyboard - is it any good?)

I had a Bugaboo for my 4.5 year old and loved it. Used it for my 2 year old and then sold it through mumsnet. I never had a 2nd, lighter buggy for hols etc and thought it was worth every penny.

In terms of multi-use my constant favourite is when I used the buggy seat as a deckchair for my daughter when on holiday on the beach. Bloody marvellous! Really don't understand what all the carping is about - each to her own, surely??
