Confused - what pram to buy?

27 replies

Hi all

I’m coming up for my 20 week scan and then we plan to buy the pram etc. I had picked the Uppababy Cruz and Silver Cross Pioneer. We went to test these and the SCP didn’t fit in my husbands car boot- Mini Countryman (def won’t fit my KA). The Cruz fit bit with one wheel popped off to lay flat - would angling help fit this in ?

So what I’m asking is - will it be a huge pain popping a wheel off each time I use the car ? Otherwise I’ve started considering the Mammas and Pappas Ocarro or the Oyster 3.

Can anyone give any advice on the best pram and what to go for please ?

Thanks !

Something I hadn’t when I considered my first peak was whether or not you will be having any more soon.
I bought the uppa baby vista and absolutely LOVED it. It handled really well in all terrains and wasn’t a faff to pop the wheel off. It pops off very easily and you don’t get too dirty.
That said, in 2014 when I bought the vista, it didn’t convert to a double (I believe the newer models do now). When I had my second baby 2 years later, I needed to invest in a double buggy at more expense. Wished I’d considered it first time round

In seriousness, consider seriously if you need a pram. To use from newborn a pushchair needs to recline fully but I found an umbrella buggy that fully reclined was perfect. I bought a pram initially that was barely used as didn't fit in the car
