with ds1, i never really had a baby pram- i bought a mclaren vogue stroller. when he was really little we always had him in a sling or even just in our arms. then we started using the mclaren and it's been fantastic. he's so comfy in it now that he's a toddler and it's a very convenient, light stroller.
now that ds2 has come along, we have got a double mountain buggy pram which we use for going walking, going to the park etc. and we use the sling for the newborn and the mclaren for the toddler when we go to the shops/cafes etc.
