agwish you sound so similar to me a few weeks ago. I spent hours on the net researching prams. I nearly bought the Adiva online without seeing it as I decided if I bought the damn pram I'd stop researching it! Then I decided to go and have a look and mess around with folding and unfolding (it was a shop on Tapley's Hill Rd that I was going to go to, not sure if that's the same one you're going to).
Anyway, for some reason I never made it to the shop, and ended up doing more research. In the end we decided on the Bertini X2, which we bought last weekend. It's $500 more expensive than the cheapest Adiva I've seen online, and that's without the bassinet (although a friend also has an X2, and she's lending us hers).
I'm totally rambling, without much of a point! I can't give you any feedback on the Adiva, except to say it looks great online, and is a good price. Hopefully it lives up to your expectations in real life.
Hi,
i have an eighteen month old who has loved her adiva sport, we think that for many reasons it is the best pram on the market for us and are so pleased that we purchased it.
We loved that the seat was a bassinet at first it even comes with a mattress to put in for when you are using it with bubs initially. We love that you can reverse the seat easily our little munchkin stayed facing us for ages up to about six months i think from memory maybe even longer can't remember exactly. There are not many prams out there that will allow you to do that and given the latest recommendations that bubs learning and development can stunted by them facing away from you we love this pram. It is easy to fold and alter all settings. It might be a bit more cumbersome in your boot as the seat doesn't fold you take it off but it is not a big pram in the first place so it probably evens out in the end. We have found it very easy to use and have recieved many questions and comments on it when out and about. We have now purchased a similar twin pram as i am due for number two in a few weeks but we are still keeping the adiva just in case we can use it and a sling as we love it soooooo much.
Hope this helps
