Mammas and Pappas pram - worth the hype?

[CAG12]

Just as the title says really. Its my first baby and im trying to be careful with the pennies. Then again, I dont want to buy cheap stuff and have to buy again.

Which one are you looking at?

The Ocarro is beautiful pram and long lasting, also folds fairly small. Is a lot of money but people I know who have it rave about it

I have the Flip XT2. It's great - very compact but with big enough wheels to cope with (some) off-road. It's also the only travel system pram that I could fold singlehandedly first try!

I absolutely love mamas and papas prams and there strollers are also great! Absolutely the best on the market!! X

Thanks guys. I went for this one. FYI - they have a sale on right now and I saved £541!

I have the ocarro after months of debate, I managed to get a colour that was being discontinued so it was significantly cheaper. I love it - but, it’s very very heavy and we used the carrycot for only 4 weeks before DS decided he hated it and we switched to the pushchair attachment which he’s very happy in. I’m fairly sturdy 😬 and can only just carry it when the pushchair attachment is on the frame. I’m also not blown away with the car seat that came with the bundle (cybex?), again, it’s very heavy and the hood is flimsy. All that said, it’s solid, feels like it’ll last years and is super easy to put up and down. I can open the frame one handed after a bit of practice.

Ahh cross post! Same bundle here - fab value and hope yours gets on with the carrycot.

Have the occaro and is extremely heavy, ds15 month now and struggling with back pain. Not sure if it's related but definitely not helping.
Also when I put the seat attachment on it first ds hated it as it doesn't recline all the way to a 90 degree angle so baby still slightly leans back and at the age of 6-7 ?month my ds hated it as he just wanted to sit straight up.. wouldn't buy it again

Had one, wasn't used anywhere near as my £20 umbrella buggy! Make sure whatever you buy fits in your boot and is light enough to pick up!

The bundle is actually pretty cheap as the carseat and carseat base are a good couple hundred pounds on their own. You'd be looking at double that is you went down the iCandy/Bugaboo/Silvercross etc root

My M&P pram is on to its third baby and I reckon I’ve walked well over 1000 miles with it. I’ll be lost when it’s outgrown!

Found this way too heavy to push - had it for a trial.
Have you tried it out?
There are lighter/better ones out there for a better price.
