    Hi Trust me, we've all got an opinion on prams

    I've got the Enigma Steelcraft 8 Wheeler too, like LMS, but I loooove it and would highly recomend it.

    It was not expensive- about $350, from what I remember. It layed back and 'tucked in' as a little cradle when ds was a newborn, and between the fully adjustable- from 90 degrees to flat- back, and the fold down and up foot rest, it is perfect for any stage as they get older- you can sit them up a little, or a lot, and then lay them down to sleep.

    And the big bonus is, with all the zipper parts removed (like the back bit with the pocket, the fly shade and the under basket unclipped) it is now a perfect stroller for a toddler- which saved me having to buy a seperate stroller.

    The only drawback as I see it is the wheels are not fantastic for steering, but it is much more stable than a 3 wheeler.

    HTH. Enjoy all that good fun baby shopping

    Hahaha you guys can buy mine then Here the pathways are not even and I found the wheels were coming off the ground and I nearly dumped Noah into the street as a result of turning an uneven corner.

    I bought the P&T for the stability and the fact that the doubles kit when on is in a good place to avoid topples.

    If I had my time over, I would of brought a Phil & Ted's. I love the look of them and quite a few of my mum's group have them and love them. I have a Valco - which is fantastic because I do lots of walking out on walking tracks etc so it's very sturdy. However it's a nightmare at the supermarket - it's wheel base is so big it won't fit through a regular checkout, we always have to ask them to open the disabled ilse for us.

    Firstly, I would like to say a very big thank you to everyone who provided feedback, you have all been very helpful.
    My husband and I were in different opinions about the pram as I tend to always go for higher quality (more expensive) and as he is an accountant tends to be more realistic. I originally wanted the Beema Q as I have quite a few friends who have it and have all recommended it, however, I decided that I wanted to make my own decision and not choose a pram purely b/c my friends have it. Once I saw the P&T prams I changed my mind almost immediately about the Beema Q and decided that P&T was the way to go. However, we finally decided today that although it is quite expensive, much more so than the Beema Q, we are getting the P&T Vibe, it was the most expensive one ut of all the P&T's but I really liked it and fell in love with it almost straight away. The actual pram was $899 + extras it was approx $1100, we too were thinking ahead and thought about more children which was what made the sale...

    Good buy I actually wish I had spent more on a pram and not bothered with a change table- you will use your pram almost evry day and it pays to have a good one
