Lady across the road has one & I pity her lugging it up & down the pavements, looks v old fashioned too. My friend bought a beautiful silver cross one about 10 years ago when she had her first baby, she had it repaired 3 times before she told them to shove it & bought a lightweight buggy. Cost her around £700 at the time

my aunt has one. it uis lovely.

if i had the money and the space (ie big huuge house with lots of lawns) then i'd get one.

think only worth it if you have a genuine old silver cross tucked away in the ancestral garage.

Must say these I think the ideal babytransport combo is probably a huge secondhand coachbuilt pram for local walks ad garden naps, and a Maclaren for car trips, public transport etc.

hi yes there ok but mine is a 1960s pram and has dark navy ineterior and gets very warm and hot in the sun so its a must for a sun canopy mine is vinyl inside i think there all like that might be wrong tho

i have got one for this baby - fabulous in heat as he is all high up and breezy. In beteween times its inside i put hinm in it when i want him out of toddlers way!
EVERYONE stares and asks me about it which gets a bit tiresome!
I love mine - bought it on ebay! not 700 150 and its like new - its 1982 but proper, old, lovely and white inside!

Woman up the road from me has an old one and all her 4 kids were shoogled in it. I think they are fine if you remember that they are from a time before cars when you HAD to walk to the shops and lug heavy shopping back in the undercarriage. Aaaand it was safer to leave prams outside shops in those days too. I wouldn't have one myself now as just too heavy and cumbersome for today
