Recommend me a pram :)

Are you going to be walking a lot with it hun? As in for exercise I guess or on unmade paths? If not I would totally get a Maclaren stroller - if its for footpath/shops walking. They are ace - I got mine for about 230 and you can get some that lie all the way back for newbies too.

I'd get a baby jogger city mini. I had the double version and even as a double it was still really light, really easy to push, brilliant big hood, and great for newborns through to 4 year olds.

PZ, I have a Maclaren Vogue and it's great (and light). It reclines almost flat and it has a decent hood on it. Some strollers have little hoods. And I also have to agree with the baby jogger city mini, if I had my time agin with a pram I would get it as the baby jogger city elite that I have is quite heavy and very wide at the bottom. The maclaren cost me $360, it is an awesome stroller.

I second that. All of my MG have these, and they seem quite good. When it comes time for baby #2, we'll be heading for the double.

I have a Peg Perego Pliko Pramette, which I looooove, it's my fold-up. I also have a walking pram, a big-arse all terrain, non-folding monster cargo pram, which we love (but would be no good for you!) and we also have the PPP. One hand fold, is bassinette-seat convertible, really compact. It's the one we take in the car or on public transport.

But most of the time we use a carrier.

Mclaren Vouge is great and can lie flat and be used from birth up. I use mine heaps (bought when DS1 was 6 months old).
Light, easy to fold and good quality worth the money!

I have a Maclaren too

This post is right up my alley.

You'd want a stroller rather than a pram. Much easier to carry and fold. Also it will need to fully recline so it can be used for a newborn. Most come with a rain cover but it's worth checking.

Here are my thoughts.....

Silver Cross - Very nice brand and a bit cheaper than the Mclarens. Cool colours also. Probably a Silver Cross Pop Sport which new are around $269 or a Silver Cross Pop which new is $329
Mclaren - A Mcclaren Vogue is $399 new.
Mamas and Papas - A bit hard to find in Australia but their strollers are quite cheap and I love the colours.
