PRAM REVIEW THREAD- What Pram do you have & what do you LOVE Hate about it!!

[Miss.B]

Stalking, stalking........my SIL is looking for a new pram now! Thanks Raising Dancers for starting this thread

[toomanyshoes]

I want an xplory lol I know its tragic but they just look cool and the new purple colour is the prettiest pram colour I've ever seen!

[Miss.B]

Oooh, I might as well add my bit! lol

I have the Baby Jogger Elite...

Like- It's excellent with the suspension (can hardly feel any bumps in the road), fantastic large hood with 2 clear panels so you can see what bub is doing, lots of meshy fabric bits on it so on a hot day it's great to have that lovely breeze through it, very easy to fold and store, good storage, slides effortlessly on the wheels and it feels like a feather to push around.

Don't like- it's not fantastic/recommended to put a brand new bub in it unless you have the basinette, the actual back of the pram where the bub lies is too soft IMHO, I feel like my DS's back is curved when he's in it, a bit too wide in the back (it's a 3 wheeler) and a tad too heavy when lifting (12 kg I think..)

Silvercross Linear
LOVE: Its kind of old school but in the new world, it looks classic, it pushes like a dream its comfy, its made to last its great quality!
HATE: Its a 2 peice fold

Other comments: Loved it but it took up too much boot space!

Silvercross Dazzle x2
LOVE: Everything seriously this stroller is awesome which is why ive had 2, 2 different colours blue & fern & am about to get my 3rd in grape, its light but huge as in really tall so would last the distance, comes with a raincover, you can get a carrycot for a new born!
HATE: Nothing!

other comments
This pram is fantastic, folds like an umrealla stroller with all the benifets of a pram!

Valco trimode jogger
LOVE: The hood coverage, the ease of pushing, the handle bar goes up & down, great for off road, for a small pram its fold is quite good!
HATE: nothing really

other comments!
Great resale value, great accessories

Bugaboo Gecko
LOVE: The look
HATE: Everything, its small its flimsy, cant handle off road, expensive accessories!

Phil & Teds Vibe
LOVE: Its ability to push over any terrain, its looks & that where it ends
HATE: Its seat slumps the child doest sit up properly, its hand break is annoying its in a spot where its always accidently pushed, its fold is a pain!

Steelcraft Acclaim...I really wanted a 4 wheel pram and there isnt a lot of variety these days.

LOVE: Almost every aspect, light, nice colour and easy to use.
HATE: Occasionally it has a mind of its own and steers all wonky or maybe DD is a bit beefy these days

comments:

[Lily Dust]

Oh that made me laugh hun!

Glad you liked

I forgot I also have a $30 stroller from Target and its my absolute fave, its one of those umbrella fold up things. So much easier for quick trips when its not safe for her to walk (shes very independant). As you can all see Im not very flash in my pram choices

We have a Baby Jogger City Elite 2010 model:

Pro's: very easy to fold, LOVE the extra long hood thingy for shade, most of my mummy friends have envied that. Love the magnets that the flippy bits have (sunroof and side air vents). Love the TWO clear sunroof bits. ADORE the colour range (I got mine from the US). Love all the extra bits you can have.

We have not used it for a new born so cannot (at this stage) comment from experience but it doesn't seem too soft for a new born providing the safety straps underneath are done up, again said with no newborn experience.

I don't find it heavy to lift, but my other pram is heavier so

I LOVE our accessories, we have the toddler seat and canopy and cannot wait to use them.

I LOVE its all terrain suspension which is the ONLY reason I choose this over another brand.

CONS: Exxy but on par with other good brands (cheaper if ordered from the USA got mine and quite a few accessories for under $1000 including shipping).

We ordered from USA so we have NO warranty valid here in Austalia.

It seems a little wider in its bum and doesn't fit through some supermarket checkouts and some clothing aisles.
