We didnt have a pram for a few weeks after DD was born and i was glad to finally have one. Although she was tiny she killed my back and doing errands by myself was a hassle without the pram.

Plus we do ALOT of walking, we walk to and from the shops so having a pram is really handy for that. Also those moments when the baby doesn't stop crying you can just stick them in and go for a walk, DD loved going for walks as a newborn.
