Tell me about prams

[Taurean]

I have a Baby Jogger City Elite which is a 3 wheel all-terrain pram so not what you're after but I would highly recommend the brand, they are brilliant prams! So my vote would be for the City Mini. The Baby Jogger prams have an amazing quick fold system which allows you to collapse the pram with a simple pull of a handle - you can do it with one hand!! The sun shades are huge too and they have lots of other groovy features that no other pram on the market has.

Check out BJ Strollers website for more info

also check out the other bugaboos. i have a gecko and they go cheap as chips on Ebay (well in bugaboo terms). they werent fully released here in Oz (i think only for maybe a year if that so dont really hit the bugaboo radar). oh and also the bugaboo frog (which i reckon is the prettiest lol)

i love my gecko...gets on all styles of trams and can even fit up the front door of the old trams with stairs.

So gotta keep an eye on this thread... I thought I'd picked our pram until I saw it on saturday at the markets with a 18 - 24 month old in it and the seat wasn't tall enough to suit a toddler... strider plus :-( start again...

Ja, and strider plus is too wide for my liking.

I have found a Valco with a narrow base - 54.5cm - which is cheaper than the City Mini, just.

My only concern with the City Mini was that I would kick the back of it while I walk, which I do with a lot of the smaller style prams and strollers.

Haven't found one of the CM or the Valco to try out yet, though.

I'm another one with a maclaren vogue which I really like - its alot more solid than other umbrella strollers whilst still being compact. Only thing I don't like is how it tips when you forget you've got shopping on the back and you take the baby out.

I'd give it another look, my DD is a tall 2.5yr old (I think up above the 75% from memory) and she still fits fine in both seats on the strider plus.
