Expecting DC2 and unfortunately both our pram and our lighter weight pushchair from DC1 are totally knackered, so starting from scratch. No idea where to start. DC1 thankfully old enough to balance bike everywhere, so don't need a double or a buggy board.

We live in a hilly city, in a flat up multiple flights of stairs (no lift) so something not too heavy would be good (Babyzen Yoyo or Bugaboo Dragonfly?). But that being said, we like country walks and the city has also loads of cobbles so I think something very flimsy with tiny wheels will drive me completely mad. I discounted the Nuna Mixx Next on the basis of too many reviews saying the "all terrain" wheels are great on pavement but clog immediately in mud or fallen leaves. But something like the Uppababy Vista or Bugaboo Fox looks terribly heavy.

I take the bus sometimes, but also drive (car with medium size boot, not tiny but distinctly average, not an SUV or anything). So something fairly easy to fold would be a big plus.

Ability to parent face is a big priority (I dismissed the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 after realizing it's world -facing only).

Happy to buy two like last time as I realise you never get everything in one, but even then I still don't know what to get and would prefer not to drop £2K! (Last time we bought our big pram second hand and had loads of issues with it, otherwise I'd happily go down that route.) Any thoughts or recommendations?

We have the Ocarro pram and it’s amazing! All terrain and we’ve had ours all over (beach, pavements, muddy forest walks, over the fields, cobble pavements) and never had any issues with it! It folds down easily and folds small, it’s also the perfect pram as has everything. Has bassinet for the early days and the next seat up actually goes fully flat so suitable from newborn if you wanted, can be clicked in to be parent facing or outward facing. Really couldn’t recommend it enough I love it!
