    Question Any Info on the COmbi Ricco??

    Well after today i will not be using my pram anymore and was told by my DH to find another pram cause if i put my DD in it again, lets just say MAJOR issues will arise..
    Im not really upto talking about what happen today, but lets just say, i have no words to say..
    Anyway DH told me to go find a comfortable, safe and secure pram that she can keep seeing as this will be my 5th pram (2 more to go and then i have 7 for every month she has been her lol )
    So after looking i found/came across the Combi Ricco, it looks great sounds great and looks very practical but i just wanted to know anyones opinion on these?
    TIA

    I'll be honest and say I don't like the wheels...little wheels like that are prone to get wheel wobble really quickly so make sure you give it a really good test out at speed before you buy.....the rest of it looks fine to me....

    I have been through a few too...until I got my Bee+ and now I think I am happy.....unless we are blessed with a second miracle child and need a double pram I will be happy with my Bee+ till our pram days are over now...so worth the extra money.

    I funded mne by selling some baby stuff on ebay...surprised myself how quckly I had enough...and then made up the difference with the sale of the other pram as soon as the bee arrived......they are so so worth it you will never need another pram

    What's your budget? That would give me an idea of what to recommend.

    For what it's worth - I love my Bee. Best $$ we ever spent.

    Well yesterday we were at a friends place out the front getting ready to say bye, I took dd out to say bye etc, pls note I did have the brake on and no extra weight on the pram, and all of a sudden we heard this big smash...
    Turned around, my pram had rolled out the driveway and a car collided with it. No freaking idea how it happened, just saw my gorgeous pram mangled, the guy freaked he jumped out of his car so quick I can't even remember him opening the door, he thought a child was in the pram since it was a pram he hit..
    I was just shaking I couldn't believe it just rolled off??!! Thank god dd wasn't in it and that I had taken her out just seconds before!
    DH was irrate, he was cursing and chucking it and basically thanking god dd wasn't in it..
    The poor guy was offering to buy us a new one, money just anything, but dh said it wasn't his fault, so it's ok.. Still poor guy he was beside himself for ages
    Anyway dh said after all the money I spent these prams which look more like a fashion accessory, my dd could of been killed or seriously injured.
    He said I'm not ever to buy a bugaboo ever ever again
    We emailed bugaboo and also took what was left back to the baby shop we bought it from, let's just say I've never heard anyone swear in a baby shop till yesterday. They couldn't believe it neither. They said it looks like the cable has splintered releasing some brake grip causing it to roll, but no idea if it's a fault or my fault..
    So after all that my budget is now 500

    How horrible!! Is the shop going to give you a refund? If the product is was faulty you'd definitely be eligible.

    For that budget if second hand is an option I'd get a Bee on eBay.

    Well they said they would they just have to wait for their manager to come back on Tuesday to see exactly what has happened.. Fingers x'd we do..
    I've been looking at them but like I said I don't think dh is going to let me, his put his foot down lol.. His words
    The thing is it could of happened with any pram, but his adamant thAt I am not getting another one..

    Oh that poor guy! And poor you/DH as well! Can certainly understand not wanting another bugaboo after that and fingers crossed they do come through with the refund. Don't have any real info for you about an alternative pram as it's been a long while since DD has been in one (she had a Steelcraft) but just wanted to offer one of these
