Pram recommendations

Hi ladies. My husband and I are really looking forward to welcoming our little rainbow miracle in the spring. We have other children but have never had a new pram before so have decided to treat ourselves this time whilst we're in a position to do so. There's just so much choice out there that we don't know where to start. We are are going to go and have a look at some pram stores but wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations before we do as know what they look like in the showroom can be very different to how they perform in reality on a day to day basis.

Our requirements are...
. Parent facing option
. Seat that turns into a carry cot rather than a separate unit
. Proper tyre type wheels (All terrain)
. Leatherette handle or cover
. Suitable from birth
. Not going to absolutely break the bank but doesnt have to be a totally budget option

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed!

I LOVE my sister's Pierre Cardin 2016 baby pram but cant find any UK stockists at all.

TIA x

Not much help as i dont have all terrain wheels on mine.
But i did manage to pick mine by literally just going into stores and trying them all out- time consuming but worth it. A lot i ruled out due to the sheer weight of them and also some not being suitable up to certain weights/ages etc

So if you go in varioius stores - i did mothercare, mamas & papas, john lewis and fenwicks im sure youll find your choices go down significantly :) x

I had the egg pram and really liked it. Although this is quite a pricey one so it really does depend on how much you want to spend. What I will say is make sure you factor the weight into your purchase. You don't want something hefty that you're going to have to lift everywhere. It'll do your back in. Especially if you drive. The car seat is bad enough for that 🤣.

We are getting the Uppababy vista and it has every feature you've listed apart from it is pretty pricey. We are very lucky that my in-laws are buying it for us but there are lots of second hand models available. They seem to hold their value pretty well which is an added bonus for us as we can sell it on when we are finished with it.
