Sorry Brave seemed to miss your name unveiling earlier on. I love that you've gone for something slightly different and it's made even better as I quite fancied Ioan Gruffudd as Horatio Hornblower.
Will you call him Horatio or an abbreviation/nickname? How cute!
I have got a medium-sized changing bag full of the usual kitchen sink baby paraphernalia which I prefer to keep in the storage basket underneath rather than hanging on the back of the pram (although it does easily fit on the back), but if we're only popping somewhere local or taking her out in the sling I just stick wipes, nappy, a nappy bag and a disposable change mat in my handbag.

Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee is the pushchair of choice for the city yummy-mummy. It's available in an eye-catching range of constantly-updated fashionable colours. We put the Bugaboo Bee pushchair through its paces in our expert tests to see if it deserves its place as one of the best-selling urban buggies.
The Bugaboo Bee, sometimes listed as Bee+ is a good enough pushchair to be a Best Buy. It is easy to use, compact when folded and lovely to push.
Bugaboo responds to Bee wheel problems:
"Unfortunately the Bugaboo Bee was been troubled by faults developing with its front wheels. Problems with shimmying wheels emerged in 2010 and the manufacturer's solution to that problem created another problem with non-swivelling wheels on some 2011 models. After sending the most recent version to our test lab for an extended wheel durability and swivelling test we believe that Bugaboo has taken effective steps to remedy its earlier wheel problems. But if you experience any problem with the front wheels of your Bee, contact your retailer immediately."
Introducing the Bee
Not only does it look great, but the Bugaboo Bee drives smoothly even when the going gets rough, and is nifty enough round tight corners.
Versatile and adjustable
This versatile pushchair can be used from birth to 17kg (which we'd expect to be a little longer than 36 months), and you can turn it into a fully fledged travel system by adding a Maxi Cosi Cabriofix car seat . If you want your newborn baby to lie flat, which we would recommend, you can buy the Bugaboo Baby Cocoon carrycot (for about £70).
Reversible seat
The seat is reversible so your child can face front or back, and the backrest can be reclined easily with one hand. The seat's height and depth can be altered as your child grows, but this one lacks a leg rest to provide support for children whose feet can't reach the footrest.
At 9.6kg the Bee feels light enough when pushing and steering. It folds to a compact 33x89x45cm so it will fit in most car boot with room to spare.
Lots of colour choices
The covers are removable and machine washable, and the fabric comes in a choice of in-vogue colours, which change each year. A hood and rain cover are included in the price, and if your budget allows you'll find plenty of matching accessories to choose from, such as a footmuff, parasol, cup holder and changing bag.
There's plenty of room in the storage basket, and it's easy to reach the items inside even when the seat is reclined.

Pros: Fashionable, reversible seat, manoeuvrable, easy to recline, machine washable covers, excellent on public transport

City Mini
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT is a fairly compact all-terrain pushchair that you can use with an optional car seat or carrycot. It features the one-handed folding mechanism that has made Baby Jogger pushchairs a playground favourite. But is it the best a mum can get? To find out, we sent it to our pushchair lab for parents and usability experts to test.
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT is one of the best pushchairs we've ever tested. It takes the elements that have made the City Mini such a popular pushchair - roomy seat, great manoeuvrability and a a brilliantly easy and compact fold - and has added an adjustable handlebar, handbrake and air-tyres. These features create a suberb ride and make it a Which? Best Buy.
What is it?
A compact all-terrain buggy with chunky air-filled tyres that's suitable to use from birth. You can use it as a travel system with a car seat, which you add via adaptors.
Baby Jogger claims this pushchair will last until your child is 36 months but, although the seat is very deep, the backrest and leg rest are best suited to children up to two.
What's it great for?
Equally at home in the town or country, the City Mini GT offers a fantastic smooth ride for baby and an easy push for you.
It has a large shopping basket which is easy to access, and a handlebar brake that is easy to use and which feels extremely effective.
It's easy to get your child into the forward-facing seat and parents like the buckle, which is particularly easy to use.
Is the seat comfortable?
The seat is roomy and looks cushioned, but our parent panel felt that it could be improved with a bit more padding. They also noticed that the crotch strap is set quite far back in the seat, so might be a bit uncomfortable for bigger children.
The hood is large and easy to operate, and you can easily see through the mesh panel to check what your child is up to. It could do with being a bit higher up to prevent your child hitting the edge with their head.
What's it like to push?
A dream. It feels light and smooth to push, and is agile and easy to tip up for kerbs. You might think the wheels are too small for an all-terrain model, but they do a great job of ironing out bumps and help the pushchair to turn on a pin.
Is it easy to fold and store?
The one-handed fold action is a cinch to use, you just unpop the red straps under the seat, then pull up a handle on the seat and the whole thing folds up scissor style. The pushchair stays shut when you lift it.
It is compact when folded (28x61x78cm; 135 litres) and fits in the boot of a VW Golf with lots of space to spare.
It only weighs 10.1kg and the convenient carry handle makes it very easy to lift and move when it's folded.
Is there anything I should watch out for?
The two red straps under the seat (attached with poppers to the frame) are a safety measure - it is impossible to fold the seat when they are engaged. These straps make sure you can't accidentally fold the seat (otherwise it only requires a lifting action to fold). Remember to reattach the red straps every time you unfold the pushchair for optimum safety.
It's time consuming to attach a car seat to the pushchair because you need to line the seat and adaptors up carefully.
Is there anything else I should know?
This pushchair is very easy to use on the bus and also on escalators, making it a great choice for public transport users.
It is supplied with a hood, but a rain cover must be purchased separately.
Should I buy it?
Yes. It's a great smaller all-terrain pushchair and equally suitable for town and country living.
