So I’m expecting my first baby next month (
). Me and my partner went pram shopping a few months ago and I fell in love with a Cosatto unicorn stroller so after speaking to the woman at the shop for a while, I ended up buying it there and then for £200. It lies flat fully, suitable for newborn, has sunshade etc it seemed perfect at the time but now I’m having doubts because the only problem I have with it, which I didn’t even consider at the time, was that it’s only forward facing.
A few people have said to me it’s a bad decision, and that I will really regret not having her facing me. I’m in two minds whether to buy a cheap carrycot pram either secondhand or off eBay, as I’ve already got a car seat.
The pros of keeping this pushchair is that I really like it, I’ve bought it now, it lays flat, has lots of accessories, a cup holder 
, is pretty, is easy to fold and put in the boot of my small car and will hopefully last her a long time!
The con is that it won’t be able to face me.
I’ve been debating this in my mind for weeks now, whether to just buy a cheap carrycot pram to use for the first few months, to wait and see how I feel when she’s here and how much I’ll actually use the pushchair, as I am also considering a sling, or am have I really made a big mistake as some people have suggested?!
