Blue pram for a baby girl?

[Shootingstar2289]

I am pregnant with baby number 2 and found a pram I really love - they do it in black, silver, pink and royal blue. I love the blue one so much.

We don't know what we're having yet (if we do find out at our next scan!).

But would it be ok to use a blue pram for a little girl? Obviously wouldn't use pink for a boy (don't want a pink pram anyway) but I just love this blue colour.

Would any other mums to be use blue for a little girl?

Does anyone even notice prams or their colour? And if they did would it matter? It's a pram.

Is this thread a joke? It had to be a joke, right?

Why on earth not? I can't see any problem with this at all.

What is the matter with DC1's old pram?

are women not allowed to drive blue cars? Have I been getting it wrong?

I thought that too, Sparkling.

It's fine to do but if I saw you I would assume it was elder brothers hand me down!

Is that even a thing? One is expected to get a new pram for each child now? Good grief!

I wasn't sure whether now things had changed and you had to have a new pram for each child Drama. I haven't done it since 2002.

I haven't done it since 1997

I didn't realise that prams had become fashion items until I came on MN. Things have changed.

Actual lol at this thread.

Quitelikely

It's fine to do but if I saw you I would assume it was elder brothers hand me down! Judgey I know. No offence intended

Did you buy different prams for different babies then?

OMG do people DO this??

I'd be more likely to judge someone with a pink pram.

Sorry realised I x-posted with Sabrina

When I were a lass, we all were trundled round in something like this. It did all the cousins. I think it was then passed onto someone else in the street.

When we had grown a bit, we were in something like this. Again it was passed around until it broke.

Modern life can be awfully silly.

Quitelikely, would you really buy a new pram just to avoid putting a girl in a blue pram? Seriously?

I had a blue pushchair. I put a boy and a girl in it. At the same time.

I have had blue slings, pinkish slings and cream coloured slings. All 3 children have been carried in them regardless of sex. Colours are colours and nothing more, they do not denote either sex or gender.

I would definitely judge someone who thinks prams are gender specific.

This is nice, takes away any element of doubt. Wonder if it comes as a single?

My pram was blue for 2 Dds..... I did have a pink blanket through!!!!

PS sorry OP think we have scared you off

I had a blue pram and I drive a blue car.
Why did no one tell me!!!!
Poor DD

I had a blue pram. That must be why DD shins dresses and dolls and is never happier that when she is mucking about in jeans and a jumper.

My red pram is now on its 3rd DS. It's like the mumsnet chicken of prams. except the covers have been washed a few times and it's faded a bit, so is now looking a bit pink . Several people have mistaken DS3 for a girl and then got shirty with me; "I assumed he was a girl as he's wearing green". wtf?

In answer to the OP, as long as it fits in your car/on the bus as applicable, you can push it ok and you like it, any colour is absolutely fine.

Bike, YY
DD is 19 and shuns pink like its contageous. She also refused point blank to try ballet as a child.
If only I'd known the Blue M&P Primo Niño was the cause...

I have a blue Mumsnet chicken pram and I never knew it none of my children (both sexes) seem scarred by it so far.
