    Talking How many do you have & do you use them?

    How many prams/strollers do you have?
    Do you use them all?



    We have 3

    Pram 1 - is the first one we bought & was great when DD was a newborn, I used it all the time & it now lives in the car
    Pram 2 - a stroller, was used fairly often for everything when we got it coz it folded up small. The only issue was it didnt have much storage space. The basket was an odd shape & nothing fitted under the seat. It will be going to my mums place
    Pram 3 - I bought last night, its a 3 wheeler (I dont like 3 wheelers) but it is good for walking. Its easier to use & has plenty of storage space, so I can walk to the shops & get a few things.

    One and one only. We didnt want to buy more than one pram so looked it it heaps before DD was born.

    We bought a phil and teds sport 2.5 years ago because it was a great setup for 2 kids, narrow, allows both chn to sit back and sleep, not too heavy and fit in our car really well.

    Now we have a 2 yr old and 4.5 month old and I love it.

    It does have negative aspects to it - but what pram doesn't?

    We have 2

    Phil and Ted Dash which we used all the time until 6 months and now it lives in house and gets used for walking places.

    Mcclaren vogue lives in car and is fantastic for swimming lessons, shopping etc.

    When bub 2 comes along will be back to phil and ted mainly but plan also is to use stroller for DS and have baby in 1 or 3 slings/carriers I have.

    So far only 1 - a Steelcraft Strider. We are looking at buying a new one that will take a toddler seat for when the new bub comes. We've thought about a stroller as well but just never got around to it because the pram does the job. Yeah it's bigger than a stroller but it gets good use and I don't see the point of cluttering up the house and car with more than 1

    1- a baby jogger city mini because i just yank the handle and it folds, is light, narrow and stable (as far as i can tell so far).

    I like it because can fit in my friend's car with her huge pram and as we only live in a small unit currently don't have much space to store it.

    right now I have 2. A phil & teds sport which is awesome for walks & was great when DD wanted to sleep while we were out with both kids. I also mave a maclaren ryder which is so light & easy to fold (can do it one handed while holding DS) I use this for shopping & any quick trips anywhere. I also travel withit because its easy to fold when I'm on my own going through the security at the airport & can take it to the gate for boarding easily.
    We also have an emmiljunga which is still at XH's place. That one gets its use when the kids were newborns (awesome with bassinete attatched) but it takes up so much room & is so heavy for everyday trips.
    I have been through heaps over the years & love the ones I've now got.

    we have a beema q with the basinette, and a phil and teds with the toddler seat.

    I mainly use the phil and teds now - but much prefer the beema! I only use the phil and teds so much because I can have both the girls in there. Whenever DD wants to walk I just use the beema- and really enjoy it - its a much better pram!

    I got the p&t off ebay

    Oh dear - confession time...
    I have double Mountain Buggy - gets used at least once a day.
    Maclaren Twin Techno - when both kids go shopping/outing, prolly use it twice a week (less often than when #2 was newborn)
    Single Maclaren Vogue - use with DD1 only or short distances with both kids - 4+ times a week
    Valco 3 wheeler - bought when DD1 was born - for walking used it as often as MB until DD2 born...now maybe once a week

    1 - Bugaboo Cameleon. Converts from bassinette to toddler seat, I walk 3 times a week and great for shopping, the two part fold lets me store it in the car easily, love it!

    Pram 1 - A Childcare Stroller that reclines for master L to sleep in if needed! Stays in My car 24/7
    Pram 2 - A Chilcare 3wheeler with Toddler seat so I can take master L and Master M in it when we walk around the block!
    Pram 3 & Pram 4 - are umbrella strollers which we don't use at all! (Should really get rid of them!)

    yep we have 3 too

    1/ phil annd ted e3 with toddler seat. this is our base pram- goes everywhere in the car especially if i am planning a full day or shopping.

    2/ umbrella stroller. i use for quick trips or if going somewhere that DD will be playing (playgroup , activity centre). So DS can go in it.

    3/ limo 2 seater pram. This is out walker pram around the streets. If i walk around the neighbour hood - cause DD often gets tired on the walk but they both like to see the scenery, and i dont have to shift DS from the front of the P&T to the back (as DD wont sit in the back for more than a packet of sultanas lol). It is a second hand one and our basher so will often go to the beach - places i dont want the p&t to go.
