Still on the hunt for the perfect pram which i have decided doesnt exist lol - i am sure someone could has told me this but i was determined to drive myself and dh crazy looking for it i cant tell you how many nights i have spent dreaming of prams
Anyway, we have another contender - the Swallow Beema Q.
Does anyone have this pram? If you do, what do you love/want to change about it?
-All terrain - perfect for walks around the block or over lumps and bumps.
-Comfy - DD has always been able to sleep well in it. The bassinette is particularly great as you can close it into a little cocoon.
-Bassinette is handy in itself as a portable cot - good for visits away etc.
-Lots of storage room in the basket and pockets.
-Sturdy but light to maneouvre.
Negatives:
-We have the Lake Como colour and the light blue trim gets very dirty looking.
-The 5 point harness cannot be tightened as much as I would like (other mums I know have commented on this too). Seems like a design fault to me?
-No capacity for a toddler seat.
-Handle is not reversible so once bubs is out of basinette they always face outwards (which they want to do by that stage anyway so this is not that important).
Overall I recommend it. However can I say if I were to do the pram thing again I would go a second hand one because you move so quickly into a stroller usually that the big price tag is not usually worth it. Also, so many people buy one style and then dislike something about it and buy a second one. Then when the second bubs comes along....
Hi Kristy, I dont have a beema but it was my next choice after the Phil & Teds.
Everyone that I have met who owns one have only praised it. I, like you, did the stopping parents at the shops to ask them about their prams & everyone I asked about the beema had great things to say.
I also think they look so comfy for bubs & I LOVE the way the bassinette sits in the pram & closes in like a cacoon as mentioned above.
Have you tried one in a baby shop yet?
Good luck hun, so exciting once you make your decision & have it at home to admire & imagine your bubs in it

I have BEema Q - black andgreen and overall very happy with it. I agree there is no PERFECT pram but it does have good features. I would agree with all above points including:
Good Points:
- narrow so fits into shops and checkouts quite easily
- COST - reasonable price
- you can take wheels off to fit into boot if you need
- the brake is off the ground so easy to use
- when fully reclined you can still hit the brake without fear of hitting baby (I felt this was the case with P & T's)
Bad Points:
- colour choice!! ha ha
- where the canopy connects to pram - my DD loves to slant towards this and rests her head there - I would have thought it was quite hard and hurt but she doesn't seem to mind!
Danielle_M I thought i remembered you saying that you had looked at it. A friend of mine has one and loves it - her dh likes the fact that the wheels pump up with air like a golf buggy lol - and i have played with it. I want more opinions though
Sophia Thanks, i liked the look of the Lake como colour so if we get it i will take that into consideration. Thats the whole thing i cant get my head around with prams - is that after 12 months or so you end up buying a stroller or another pram, seems like a waste of money (that is why the perfect pram doesnt exist, i have decided). As for price, they are on sale atm and the bassinet is half price, i realy like the idea of a bassinet for when bubs is younger.
THanks for your feedback
Jordie- posted at the same time - thanks for the feedback. I have to agree that the size of it is appealing for a 3 wheeler, i dont want a wide pram that doesnt fit everywhere.
