Buggies from birth - the great debate

[imjin100]

I'm quite sure this question has been raised many times but as a first timer I'm keen to ask advice and thoughts of the pros on MN who have the real experience of which ones are good. On the march thread (as I'm sure has happened in others) there are lots of really useful points made about different buggies but spread throughout the thread and I can't remember who said what about which one so I thought I'd raise a thread (am i doing it in the right place?)
Obviously everyone can add questions/thoughts but the main ones I'm considering are
Mamas and Papas - Pilko
Phil and Teds
Micralite
Bugaboo....

(I think!) There are millions but all thoughts gratefully received.

im currently looking at either the Silver cross 3D or Mamas and Papas Pramette.

Anyone any likes/dislikes about either?

Anyone have any experience of these?

Hi I have a silvercross sleepover on the linear chassie and its great well i love it as it is a moses basket pram and also turns into a buggy for when child is older and also u can use it on the sleepover stand as a chair i used it for my daughter now she is 21 months i am just gonna use it for my new baby which is due in march i think it is value for money

those with the xplory, do you think it's useless on anything other than pavement type ground then? Am not planning any off-roading, but not sure if it's suitable for a country lane where the tarmac has been potholed for many years and is a little on the uneven side?

Well, I have put a deposit down on a Cosatto Mobi that comes with a carry cot and car seat. I guess I will have to wait until baby has arrived to decide whether I made the right choice or not
