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 one and one on the way!!
i have a steelcraft 3 wheeler, it has bassinette and toddler seat, we've used it everywhere, fantatic pram!!
i have a maclaren vogue on order, as i need something smaller for my car as its hard to get the 3 wheeler out with the anchor points where they are!
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
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!
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
I have 4
A mountain buggy double not used yet
A stroller (no idea on brand) that I never use
A mothers choice pram I use 4 times a week roughly
and another side by side twin pram that I havent used yet
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!)
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.
i have 2:
a double mountain buggy which i use for walking.
a single maclaren vogue which i use for shopping (keep it in the car permanently)- ds2 goes in a sling.
