I had always planned to buy an Emmaljunga Classic Duo Combi, but it seems that they are not available at the moment. Or if there are any left it's like finding a needle in a hay stack. I feel like I've been putting more effort into finding this pram than I put into buying our last car!!!
Are they really worth it??? Are they worth the money???
As alternatives we are considering Bertini X5, Valco RAD or Peg Perego skate.
Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated. This will be our first bub so we are kind of unaware of the 'practical' side of prams. We've just been looking at the weight, how easy it folds, looks & how comfy it looks for bubs. I can imagine living with a pram day in day out may sometimes bring up issues that you don't think at the time of purchase.
We absolutely loved our single Emmaljunga - we got a bassinette stand with it and Molly spent her first year in it, either out and about in the pram, or having day sleeps in the bassinette and stand.
We were less impressed with the double Emmaljunga we got when Olivia was born - it's quite heavy, doesn't have inflatable wheels, and doesn't have steerable wheels (although I see the nre doubles and singles do, which is good).
Peg Peregos are not a patch on Emmaljunga - very plasticky and flimsy.
Thanks schmickers - all of the reviews I have read on the web about the Emmaljunga combi duo are really positive. I think I will persevere finding one. Thanks again!
Hi, I have brought one for our first bub (due October) so I can't say what it is like to use just yet, but I was talking to a lady who works at the place we got it and she was saying they are not importing them into Australia anymore because of the new safety regulations (red brakes ect), apparently they don't have a very big market over here for them so its not worth them making new models just for Australia. (Hope that makes sense! )
How true this is I don't know, but this particular store is no longer stocking them.
blueiris - thanks for letting me know. I actually lay-by'd a steelcraft strider last week because I was worried if I ordered an Emmaljunga it would not be here in time. It's always the way - they will quote the earliest possible date..then delay.....then delay.....then delay.
The newer models of Emmaljunga will be here by the end of December (have just been speaking with the distributer for Oz) there are afew of brand new Emmaljungas at a Penrith baby shop..
Which baby shop is it in Penrith? And do they have a website? Also, are they out in the shops end of December? Or are the prams being received by the distributor in December and then being sold to other retailers much later? Thanks.. Also, are all 11 colours available or only red, black and navy?
Not all colours are available Distributer said they SHOULD be in stores by the end of December....fingers crossed. The colour we got was BLACK/GREY/ ORANGE piping, have NOT seen this colour previously.
I think it was baby kingdom?? not 100% but fairly sure thats the name...
Emmaljunga???
