Im looking around now for a good push chair to use from birth but dont know what ones are the best. I bought quite an expenisve Jane one for my first child a few years ago but was not that impressed. I do like the 3 in 1 ones though.

Any suggestions??

I was in Mothercare last week and the sales lady was raving to someone about the Bebe Confort Loola.

I mean raving!

Had a crappy Graco travel system myself

A friend of mine has mentioned the bebe range too. Might be worth taking a look.

had a graco travel system which tbh was rather cheap and plasticky. Soon went on to a Maclaren pushchair (folds right down for sleeping) and were really pleased with it, it has lasted really well, been great.

what about an m&p 3 in 1 system? on the website prwmworld.com they have a m&p signature 3in1 on a mpx chassis (swivel wheels) for half price £230 i think, that comes with footmuff as well, seems like a bargain, they were reduced to this much in the m&p stores as well but i beleive they can no longer get them, only if they have them left in store.

the bebe confort loola with carrycot is a great buggy, and mothercare have a special offer on if you buy the buggy, carrycot and carseat, but apparently are having supply difficulties as when i went to buy one, was told they didn't have it in stock and could no longer get them.

also silvercros sahve some lovely new prams in their new range.

M&P 3 in one are nice as they have a large seat that rear faces and look pretty good aswell. There not so good if you need to bump them up and down stairs though(heavy and after a year the wheels fell of mine, although they have discontinued the chassis I have). Mine still looks goods after two years so nice if you don't live in a flat and have a big car boot as they aren't really that compact.

Recently got a silver cross compact travel system which is also good folds smaller and lies flat but still has a decent sized seat.It doesn't rear face though which I liked when my daughter was in for a long time when we were out now she is in and out all the time so it doesn't matter as much. The car seat is nice to quite light weight but feels sturdy.

I aslo have a bebe confort three wheeler (bought when the wheels fell of the M&P and the loola was just new out so still really expensive and hard to find) and it bumps up and down stair great and is realy well made. It proably fells the best quality of all the prams I have. It doesn't lie flat but you can get the car seat and carry cot to fit it. The new design they have also rear faces which I think is pretty unusual in three wheelers. It is heavy and not very compact but takes an awful lot of abuse going up and down stairs which I don't think a lighter pram could cope with.

So I'm yet to find the perfect pram, hence the reason I have three and can't bring myself to get rid of them. Although the best one to push would have to the M&P's just wish I had the house for it.
