I'd say it is definitely wise to invest in a pram that suits your wants/needs. We have a mountain buggy but didn't take it with us while on holiday for a month because different family members had prams we could borrow while there. How we missed our buggy! The other three we used at different destinations were too flimsy, didn't have enough storage underneath, not enough sun shade, too uncomfortable to push, too heavy or cumbersome etc etc.
