I have three prams/buggies!!!
I started off with an old quinny from a friend, its now going to be used for the fourth baby, so although it's looking very tired we are getting our mileage out of it. I have a big old pram body for it which we used for getting Jacob to sleep when he was teeny and then just detached it from the pram and carried it into the house.
Second is a quinny buzz, which is front and rear facing and lies right down to pretty much flat, it's quite cosy and three wheeled so good for walks round our village, we still use it for taking Jacob and th dogs out for a walk although he's almost outgrown it now. I agree, it's a big heavy thing, but I have a big car so I don't need to worry about having enough boot space to fit it into.
Finally we have a maclaren stroller, it's an umbrella fold, the seat lies back really far, flat I think and it's much smaller when folded. I wouldnt use it for a small baby and definetly not with a small baby in the winter as it's not as padded in the seat so it's colder but it's brilliant for having in the car for use around town and we took it to the USA on holiday last year, we took it right to the gate and then collected it soon as we left the plane, made a huge difference when you have to run through airports.
I wont be getting a new pram this time round, so I'm quite happy with what we've got thankfully!
I'd recommend a sling though, I have a moby wrap and used it loads and loads when Jacob was under six months, he settled a lot better when he was slung.
I've been called in for a GTT test this morning, no breakfast yet!!!! I had gestational diabetes last time round, so early testing for me! Say goodbye to cakes until February I think :(
