What pram for toddler?

Hello, we're still using the pram we bought when DD was born which was supposed to go up to age 2 but she looks really squashed. Also it keeps her at a tilted 'babyish' angle.

Can anyone recommend the next thing to buy? At what age did you get a second pram?

Thanks.

I bought a half price maclaren when DD was about 2 as i was tired of carting the big buggy about in the car. I went for one that didn't recline (as they are much cheaper) but did opt for one that had a sun cover and a rain cover.

perfect for the spring and summer and when your DC is walking lots.

We had a mamas and papas pliko prammette that was meant to be birth to walking but by 8 months ds was far too big for it so we spent about £60 on one from Argos. I lost that one Confused so bought another, really cheap one - not even sure which brand but only cost £30 - and that has lasted 18 months so far (although we did use a double buggy for a few months when dd was born) and is still in use for dd.
You don't need to spend a lot ime as the cheap ones are just as good as the really expensive ones.

We got a maclaren quest sport when DS1 was 4 months (so we could get on public transport - few low level buses where we are so you have to be ready to fold your buggy up). We used it with him until he was 3 (and he's a big lad, he's just turned 4 and is already taller than the average 5 year old).

DS2 is 8 months old and we're using it on and off with him (e.g. getting on buses, or going out for lunch (takes up less room than pram in cafes). Think we paid about £120 quid for ours at the time, but we've definitely go our moneys worth :-D

I have the obaby atlas. Very versatile and lots of lovely designs to chose from. I have vintage rose or cottage rose. Something like that. Very girly and have never seen another one :-)
