Prams - which to buy?

[degroote78]

I am a few months away from giving birth and am starting to think about prams but have no idea which ones are good. I want one I can use from birth that has good support for the baby's spine and is not too cumbersome as I live in London. Any recommendations?

Hello,

We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the product recommendations are a little out of date.

We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing prams and pushchairs. Here's our round up of pushchair reviews for the best prams on the market right now.

Hope that helps!

zelda, icedgemsrock watching this with interest as am 30 wks & my DH is in love with the Stokke

I think it looks cool but could be a bit heavy - i would have to carry up narrow flight of stairs every day. Do you find it heavy? I know you can take baby bit off, but is this easy to do? Am basic techno phobe & not the strongest...

Also get buses a lot - how is it on public transport?

Thanks dinkystinky and mumtoted for Quinny advice. We have been sold one by a friend at a considerably low price so have got it in the end... It does seem to fold very easily. We are in London so am not sure how the public transport thing is going to work. Am thinking we should have got a Bugaboo now... Although the Quinny we have is virtually brand new and only cost us £150 including the pram top and the push chair-y bit (and bags/accessories) so it was probably a good deal.

So many decisions!!

Update - I was on a London bus today and saw a Bugaboo Bee get on quite happily next to a Maclaren-style pushchair so that puts me back in favour of the Bee although it is expensive. Agree with posters who say that the Quinny Buzz is def. too wide for a London bus though.
