Fell in love with a pram in a shop today, please tell me how impractical it is! ...

[Disenchanted]

its sooo beautiful in real life

I'm not going to buy it (even though the woman said I could pay 10% deposit and the rest over the pregnancy!)

But if I had a bigger house, garden, car and purse I would!

Ahhh that is lovely ! Didn't read the info, I take it it doesn't convert into a pushchair when baby is bigger ?

DON'T DO IT! You know that you'll just end up with a McLaren in 6 months time.

No, its totally impractical I know!

But in one of those 'dream senarios' where you are walking through the park, in the sunshinem smiling at your tiny baby it would be ideal!

(In reality I'll be trawling through tescos with the new one in the back of a jane powertwin, a moaning 2 year old in the front of the double buggy and a four year old having a tantrum on the floor!)

It is WAY impractical.

Congratulations on the blue bump expat

It is very pretty. And I can totally share your daydream.
But it's not a bit of equipment for people with a RL is it?

You cant put it in the car.
It will get filthy and scuffed and will look dreadful
To turn, you have to push down the handle to get the front wheels off the ground, which is exhausting, as it has a soggy suspension
It weighs a ton.
Your child will outgrow it in 6 months.

Need any more?

Having said that, as pram porn goes its rather lovely. And (relatively) not a horrendous price.

Oh, I think it looks naff because of the colours - if you are going to get an old-fashioned type pram then it should be black, surely?

i think its not nice.

but then i am a silvercross gal!
