Hi,

Just wondered what people's thoughts were on navy blue pushchairs for girls? I love the navy bugaboo but we don't know what we're having. Is it too boyish?? Xx

Um, yes, of course it's fine!

ElsaAintAsColdAsMe · 13/11/2016 19:56

Navy blue is just fine.

Eolian · 13/11/2016 19:57

Any colour is ok for girls!

JohnLapsleyParlabane · 13/11/2016 19:58

As pushchairs-and-travel-systems are not usually operated by genitals, yes.

Lj8893 · 13/11/2016 19:58

Huh? Of course it's fine. Why wouldn't it be?! I'm a girl and I frequently wear navy blue?!

PaperdollCartoon · 13/11/2016 19:58

All colours are fine for all babies.

When I was a baby all pushchairs and prams were black, pretty much.

I survived, my Mum survived.

So I would say 'yes'.

Navy = smart.

Are you sure you don't want something a little more gender neutral? She may decide to chose masculine toys like a blue rattle, a blue teddy moving onto trains/cars/pirates and then you're on a slippery route onto her wanting to be male! Unless you're really wishing she was a he...

Contrary to popular belief, girls can go near colours other than pink without growing a penis.

DontBuyANewMumCashmere · 13/11/2016 19:59

NOOOOOOOO! Shock

Wtf are you thinking? What if she grows a penis or you give her the gays? Hmm

Thanks very much for all the sarcastic replies.

It's fine. More practical than brighter colours which get grubby, and you could brighten it up with a blanket if you wanted to.

thebloodycat · 13/11/2016 20:00

So how many of you have bought a hot pink pushchair for a boy?

DramaAlpaca · 13/11/2016 20:00

Errrm... of course it is. I don't understand why it wouldn't be. Just choose one you like.

Navy blue sounds very practical, and it'll probably be easy to sell on later when you've finished with it.

LucyInTheSkyWithDonuts · 13/11/2016 20:00

What exactly are you worried about???

If you like it, buy it, your baby will give no fucks as to what colour it is....

pinkyredrose · 13/11/2016 20:01

People might think she's a boy! What the hell would you do, it'd be a nightmare.

Lj8893 · 13/11/2016 20:01

I don't really know what kind of replies you were expecting when you ask such a ridiculous question!

OnwardsAndUpwardsYo · 13/11/2016 20:01

I don't understand the question! Do you like the colour? Then yes, it's great.

Our daughter was dressed in navy so much as a baby, it's a lovely colour. 👍

Why do you have concerns?

SpeckledyBanana · 13/11/2016 20:02

My DS had a grey pram, DD's was red. I would say both were neutral colours TBH.

Lj8893 · 13/11/2016 20:03

I have a girl and used a pinkish pram for her. I would happily have used it for a boy as I liked the colour and it covered stains well

thebloodycat · 13/11/2016 20:03

Jesus Christ sorry I asked. I want a neutral one. I don't want pink if it's a girl and I don't want light blue for a boy. I'm wanting a none gender specific colour!

My boy has a purple pushchair Smile

Seriously though navy is great. It goes with lots of colours and really makes a bright pink pop imo. Very stylish.

OnwardsAndUpwardsYo · 13/11/2016 20:04

Our son has loads of pink stuff, loads. Sometimes the pink item has been cheaper than the same blue/green item, so for financial and common sense reasons we've got the pink. He's also the happy recipient of many hand-me-downs.

Lj8893 · 13/11/2016 20:04

Navy blue is pretty neutral.
