We have a Peg Perego Skate, which if I had the option, would have gone for the Bugaboo instead I think...
The reason I liked it was because it had all the features that *Beama* listed about the Bug, apart from the skateboard attachment. You can also buy the matching baby capsule that just clicks unto the pram frame, which was a major selling point for us.
It's a great pram, but if it wasn't as heavy and had a skateboard attachment, it would be perfect!
Funny you mention the front wheel wobble. Since we flew ours has been the same. Driving me insane. I need to ring the store. But since we live in the middle of nowhere I ordered it online and it will cost a fortune to post back. Good luck with your research.
Ooh, not good Ellee. It is a design fault that they seem to be unable to fix retrospectively. I've taken mine back 6 times - more times than I would normally, but because I love everything else about it I let them try everything to get it fixed for me.
Thanks Holly. I was looking at the Skate the other day....
we have a bugaboo and have never looked back. for us it was a complete system that offers extra benefit of being light, and very easy to steer and can be dragged on trams and fit down normal checkout aisles. we have never needed another pram and with a new bubba on the way we will get the 'twoo' buggy board (has a bike type seat and handle bar on it).
absolutely love it! also, you can pick up some great offers on Ebay for the prams! like Beema mentioned if you do buy in store they do tend to offer you discounts (i know baby bunting here in melb do) and gift vouchers etc etc.
I have a brand new skate which I am about to sell as there is a new English pram finally being released in Australia at the end of february. It is the ICandy range of prams and the apple and pear models are due end of feb with the Peach model due mid march....either the pear or the peach twin would be right up your alley I think....... google Icandy pram etc and should find a link to their UK site which is very informative....as a price guide the peach single will a bit less than the skate.......oh apparently it will be able to take the safe n sound unity capsule as well to make it a true travel system.
Looks interesting MelBel! Do you know who will be stocking them? How did you hear about them?
Thanks Cassius. We will be buying instore because we will be getting a credit on the Vibe. They know me there (Baby Bunting Thomastown) and treat me well so I am sure they will do me a good deal.
I have been drooling over them ever since the original apple came out....was sriously considering getting one sent over...saw them at the melb baby expo...the distributer is here in melbourne...tobil and co i think they are called
