I had a second hand reverse hand bertini pram when Felix was newborn, and then when I started working again I when out and bought a steelcraft 3 wheeler pram. I love the 3 wheeler but it is not great for shopping as it's so wide!

The things I found with both prams:
  • -reverse handle prams, mine only had steering wheels (the ones that move) at the front when handle was at the back IYKWIM, so when reversed you couldn't steer properly
    -3 wheel prams MUST have the option of lockable and steerable otherwise they are a nightmare! My friend had the fixed wheel and hated hers.
    -Look for a large under basket, for the early days when you take your pram shopping, as a small under basket can be frustrating
    -My steelcraft has a built in shade feature, which is wonderful for when he's sleeping AND keeping noisey Nanna's out! also the shade is able to come right over and cover the face when sun is in front of you, when you live in QLD like we do it's really important to have good shade on your pram! this feature is as good a reverse handle pram, as you can see the sleeping child from the back of the shade
    My steelcraft also has a newborn head suppot, and a rain cover, neither of which I've used due to the fact I bought in at 4 mths and it was spring!


Look around for bargains, Ebay has alot of prams selling really cheaply, no need to get a new one!
