help - dolls pram

I’m so confused and find myself unable to make decisions these days so hoping someone can offer advice. My DD is almost 4 and is 105cm tall (average really). Her elbows are at 70cm. Her small umbrella type pram has handles at 55cm which is just okay for her but will be too small soon. I have no idea whether to get her pram style A which says handle height is 39-68cm or style B which says handle height is 62-79cm.

It seems they all fall into these two groups and I’m worried she’ll outgrown A super fast and that B would be too large and unmanageable for her. Any thoughts? Or will I just get a replacement umbrella style which won’t take up so much room and get her something else instead (dolls bed?).

The first one will be small really soon, at 4 years old I would suggest go for a “junior” size rather than the smaller ones which are more suited to toddlers. My 4.5 year old doesn’t play with the smaller ones at all now. Quite a few of the bigger ones do fold down? But yes not as compact as the little umbrella ones. Doll cribs and car seats are also a hit here if wanted to look at other options?

So junior is the type B Pram the bigger one in the picture?

Also thanks for the reply - I’ll look at the cribs and car seat ideas too Smile

My 7.5yo has asked for (yet another) pram for Christmas as she's outgrown most of them now - thankfully we've only ever bought 1 of them 😂

She has an umbrella fold from Smyth's with a handle height of 77cm that she can still just about manage and we've bought her the Daisy pram (like your 2nd pic) from Santa - I tried it out quickly to check the height was suitable and at 5ft 3 I could push it one handed without hunching over too much so it's plenty big enough and folds down fairly compactly too.

I would go for the second one. DDs friends seemed to enjoy playing with the pram as much as the doll, changing the seat around, switching it for the cot part and carefully choosing just the right blanket to tuck them in.

When they were smaller all the interest seemed to be pushing the pram, the dolls were almost an afterthought.
