Am I being a pram snob??

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

If it was me I'd still get the pram I really wanted....as someone else suggested, leave the free pram at your mum's. You've got to use the pram everyday, you need to be happy with it.

My best friend just did that and found one that was still in a good condition for only about $100... trick is to search words that ppl might have made typo's ie. 'teds' rather than 'ted'. then no one finds them in normal searches and the price is really low....

i like the idea of the saving the money while you use the free one.... if you decide to get the phil and ted then give the pram back to your mum to keep at her house. may as well use a free one while you can.
