    no - definately get what YOU want - even if it costs you lots or you'll always be thinking....then end up getting it anyway in a few months! I've had 5 - including a valco plus toddler seat and Phil and Teds. While the valco was fine the p & t i have now is just awsome - so much better (imo) - spend the cash - you know you want to :-)

    Why don't you set the money aside at the same rate you would pay off the lay-by. Take the offer of the free pram and when you have set aside the $700 make the decision then. This way you know that you have tried the Valco, and if you are not happy, have the money ready to make the P&T purchase.

    If you are happy with the Valco, you have $700 saved for something else!!!!!!

    This way you will never be left wondering

    Hi,
    I have no idea about prams, but if you don't like the freebie you could sell it on ebay or the parents market and use the money towards your ideal pram.
    I want to google Phil and Ted now to know what it is all about...

    I hate prams!! I only get strollers from now on... something small and light. If it doesn't go through supermarket checkouts I wouldn't have it!!

    Valco's don't!

    I'd have to admit i wasn't a huge fan of the phil & teds to begin with but when i started looking around for a double pram i couldn't find anything else i wanted and could afford. Also wasn't a fan of the seats where toddlers couldn't recline or sleep.

    I was in a similar situation where i had a double stoller and in the beginning thought i'd convinced myself it would be sufficient but it was soooo hard to stear, fold up and down and i couldn't imagine doing my regular walks around the block with it.

    So i got a phil & teds and i'm pretty happy with it.

    Give it a go since you're not loosing out on anything and if you're not happy get the phil & teds.

    I'd be thanking your mum for being so thoughtful to have a pram at her house that you can use when there so you don't need to take yours when you visit....that's what I did with my mum...wasn't missing out on having my 'flash' pram after waiting all these years for a bub lol!

    Oh here's a thought....get a phil and ted off ebay and save even more $$$$

    You could always donate the valco to a pregnancy support agency
