Blue pushchair for a girl?

[VictoriaaaJohnsonnn]

Hello! I'm not sure what the gender of my baby is yet, but I know I want the Quinny Moodd in Blue Base. I'm just wondering if the colour would be suitable for a girl too? Thanks!

I had boy/girls twins in a grey buggy .... what does the future hold ... did I do the wrong thing?

To be fair my girl could be dressed head to toe in pink she'll still get asked what gender she is. Not that that matters to me. But the colour of a pram will not stop people asking or confusing one for the other. You like it in blue? Get it in blue. It's a pram

I had a flowery pink/red carseat for DS1 - because I liked it and I was the one looking at it :) Buy what you like. Yes people might assume a boy, but they might assume that anyway (DS1 was always mistaken for a girl because babies have generic faces and he had long golden curls - the car seat had little to do with it)

I bought a lovely blue pram before I knew the flavour of my baby. It was a beautiful colour. I find it harder to understand why people buy grey or black prams. Boring!! (Sally Im looking at you here :-D)

I went for a black pram - keep 'em guessing

"you'd be happy to dress your girl in a top that says 'my little prince', or your boy in a top that says 'my little princess'?"

God no, that particular brand of slogan t-shirts are horrible. But one of my daughters had a babygro with tractors on it, does that count? And the eldest wants to be called Peter Pan at the moment. Should I be panicking?

OP yes you will have people making the assumption that the baby in the blue pram is a boy, not a girl.

However, does it matter? Do you think it will affect your baby in any way if a stranger in the street think she is a boy, for the very little time they will be in contact.

Unless you actually learn the gender of the baby (and there is no mistake), you will have to eiher go for something very gender neutral or wait until the baby has arrived to buy that pushchair.

Or you can choose what you like, according to your taste.

Some people will naturally think she is a boy. Depends if you care or not - won't make a jot of difference to your child or their development. I'd go for it if it's the pram you like, because a pram is more than the colour.

Incidentally, when DS1 was 7 months, I got told off (yes, really) by a lady who had cooed over my "girl" when I gently told her he was a boy. Apparently I was "being misleading" because of the way he was dressed. He was in a white babygrow. It was white (supposedly 'gender free' anyway, no?) because it was ghost themed. For Halloween. White was only for girls, I was told. I pulled this face:

I brought a blue pram for DD1 and had to swap it for a twin, but hat was the choice of that years colours ... sorry, made them sleep though!!

My daughter had the icandy peach pram in the green/blue combi when ahe was born. But then again, I'm not in to gender stereotypes, I liked the colour and I couldn't give a shit what people think of my pram colour choice :/

The little girl [11months] I look after wears a blue coat, "boys" brown leather shoes and carries a tractor. She's still a girl!

I had a blue pushchair for dd.

I also had a blue boys osh kosh jacket for her because it was a bargain price in TK maxx. Sometimes strangers would say what a lovely boy or something similar. I would just smile and thank them.

iguess she sounds like my daughter!
She wears her brother's hamd me downs and won't be seen without a hotwheels in her hand!

I have 2 DDs. The pram they had when they were tiny was black and grey. Then they had a lime green stroller. Neither seems scarred by the experience.

The only time they were ever mistaken for boys was when wearing a gorgeous navy blue snow suit with aeroplanes on it that a friend handed down to me. Again, they don't seem traumatised by this experience.

I've re-read the OP but struggling to see the bit where the OP said a blue pram would scar her DD for life or cause spontaneous penis growth?

Maybe she was asking if most people still assume blue is for a boy? And maybe, most people, who aren't right-on mumsnetters do think that? I don't think blue is for boys, lots of people do. It's up to the OP whether she cares what people think.

Since when has green been associated with boys alpha?

Most people seem to opt for either boy or girl at random from my experience. Even though my DS is often dressed in blue I often get 'how old is she' and similar. I don't mind. I often cannot tell whether other young children are girls or boys either . So just go with what you like.
