Hi
This is my first post - I'm expecting my first baby in early March and have got bogged down in pram confusion. I wondered if any city dwelling mums could offer their opinion on the iCandy Cherry and Bugaboo Bee - or any other designs they recommend.
Just to explain - we live in a second floor flat and I'll have to carry the pram up and down the stairs every day as there's nowhere to leave it in the main hallway. As we have to keep it in the flat, it will need to be folded up each day for storage purposes.
The main criteria for me is that the pram is light enough to carry up and down stairs. We loved the Bugaboo Bee for this reason but I was put off by it not having a carrycot. We have a Moses basket so it's not that I will put the baby down to sleep in the carrycot at home but I just prefer the security of a sturdier carrycot when out and about. So that brings us to the iCandy Cherry....we loved this as we could buy a separate carrycot but I'm worried the frame is bulkier to carry.
I hadn't originally planned on spending so much - I had my heart set on the Mamas and Papas Urbo and it was discounted as well - but then I tried it out in the shop and could barely lift it!
I'd appreciate any helpful advice - one other thing is that we don't have a car and use public transport so whatever we get needs to be bus/train suitable. Oh, and we're probably moving out of London in the next six months so this whole stairs thing will no longer be a problem!
Thanks.
