mamas ans papas, pushchair am i going mad?????

[sliverx2]

I've 2 babies ds1 is 4 and ds2 is 1, since ds1 has been bron i've had 16 pushchair only 5 second hand, all the rest have been brand new, and costing from £260 plus each. I've 9 of them have been mamas and papas, my partner thinks that there is 3 people in the relationship LOL. but my partner likes silver cross so we've had 2 silver cress three wheelers and a couch buit pram. I throght i was over buying/looking at pushchair as i really had enogh, but lately as i know mamas and papas are just about to reliese there 2004 catalogo that all i can think about, i dont think i'll buy another but i'm obsesect (my spelling isn't much )Are there other people out there that are like me????? Or do i really need to get out more????

I've had 5 - only 1 child

16 pushchairs? Where do you put them all? Why do you keep buying all these pushchairs? The pram makers must love you!!

i have only 4 in the house at the mo, i get feed up with them after 3-4 months and want a new updated one, me and dh worked out how much we've spent it goes over 31/2 grand

I have 1 all-singing all-dancing 3 wheeler thing and am going to buy a second buggy for travelling. It was the only piece of equipment I spen about 3 months choosing!

I have had 14!!!!! OMG didn't want to count them up. I have 5 at present 2 disabled buggies, DD2 has 2, one for each car, and a double buggy.

I am amazed at all this multiple buggyness! I have two, one for shopping the other for dog walking (3 wheel thing). I suppose when I have a second baby (if) I will have to buy another one.

IMO the very WORST thing about having kids is all the equipment, I try not to buy anything unless it is absolutely necessary.

Yu need to get out more and get your toddlers to walk!

I have one pram and one buggy. Have three kids under 5

i dont know what it is, but it has to be mamas and papas for me i could have anything eles ues i really really had no chose.
i just love mamas baby stuff, i have the high chairs, the bedroom stuff, and bits & bobs that no top of the pushchairs, mad i know.

sorry thats ment to be couldn't have anything eles unless i really really had no chose

One child, pram/pushchair number 6. But, 2 were maclaren daytrippers that got knackered in 6 months as I travel a lot and I'm "hard" on pushchairs. The highly expensive Mamas + Papas 3-in-1 lasted for 18 months (with a couple of plikos for travelling) but DD looked silly in it after that. We passed on one of the Plikos and a Maclaren, sold the M+P, binned the other Maclaren and currently have the Mothercare "Princess" buggy, which is definitely the "in" buggy for girls in liverpool.

My mother averaged out at 7 prams per child. They just get tatty looking and boring after a while!

I ma still stunned - our maclaren is on ds3 - bugger what it looks like Id rather spend 100 quid on me!

as for trends in pushchairs - my life..........

Me and my partner love spending time together rather than going out, nor do we smoke or drink we have money that we chose to spend on what we like best "pushchairs" some poeple might think that sad but i'm shaw to find something in there life that i consider to be sad. my house is very nice my boys are more than well taken care of we are currantly not saving anythink so why not?

i agree with sliverx2 with that one, alot of people have hobbies and spend hundreds of pounds on them, which is what all this is it's a hobbies your just not seeing it that way, just remeber you can only buy pushchairs when you have babies so enjoy it while you can, it not like it will last forever, just dont get into debt for it.

yep fine - but you did ask!

what happens when they arent in them anymore?

hoildays, as i've not been on one for 2 years as it was far to much hard work with a toddeler,

Much better idea! Dont be tempted to get a new buggy tho!

i cant because if the child dosen't fit the child dosen't fit, i'm not going to froce him into one

i have a toddeler yes, but i cant make him walk he's alittle over a year old been walking for 4 month but still way to young to make him start walking along sid me when out and about.

Methinks someone is 'extracting the urine' here surely......?

I thought so too.

If you are genuine I think you are mad. I have two children roughly the same age and have two buggies, one three-wheeler for walks and one maclaren for town and shopping. I've had the 3 wheeler since dd1 was born (best money I ever spent on baby equipment, its brilliant) and the Maclaren Techno ever since dp ran over the Maclaren Daytripper in the car. Dd1 is 3.5 and she is expected to walk everywhere, if she is really really tired she sits on the front of the three wheeler.

Sometimes I carry dd2 in a sling (10 months but small).

Do you have this spending obsession in other parts of your life or is it just buggies?

Oh dear, the "trend" comment was meant light heartedly, as it's a cheap buggy obviouly loads of people have one, and Mothercare change the patterns all the time (all still vile) hence why the things are everywhere. And the Daytripper was a really sorry sight with a chunk missing from the front wheel after an incident with a train door. I don't think they're designed for anyone who walks about 5 miles a day which I was at the time!

So, congrats if you can make them last more than a few months but sometimes you can't, especially if you can't drive to town.

troll outbreak?
