Pram colour-red the right choice???

**ezymay** · April 29th, 2008, 10:37 AM

Hello!

DH and I have put on lay-by the Bertini X2 lite in red and I am wondering if we have made the right colour choice? It comes in a lime green, an orange (neither of which we like) a bright royal blue (we are having a girl) or black. We didn't get black because it seems so dark and we are due in Sept so will be mainly out and about in summer and are concerned the black will get too hot, but I'm concerend the red may show marks so anyone's experience with red coloured prams would be great.

Thanks

My red pram has taken a beating, it's been to Singapore twice, gets trotted out at every opportunity and has even been bush, and yes it's gotten dirty, but it still looks good.

All prams will show up dirt after a lot of use, even the black (esp milk stains) so that wasn't a consideration for me as such. I think red is a fab colour for a pram. I've said this before, red prams go faster.

I was going to say what Sushee said - red prams go faster! We have a red one and love it. I think you've made the right choice

You know what else... Red is actually soothing for babies too, because its the colour they see in the womb. So don't listen to anyone if they say it's too 'loud' or 'bright', because babies love red.

Thanks ladies, I just wanted some reassurance we'd got the right one.

I have a red pram and love it! We get lots of comments like "cool pram"!

I have a red P&T pram. I haven't used it yet but can't wait!

I got red because it goes faster, a unisex colour, and because it has good visibility when your out walking...
