Emmaljunga Vs Bertini
Hi all,
I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are on these 2 brands? I'm looking at the Cerox 360 or the Bertini X4(i think that's the 1).
I just not real sure if i like the look of the new Bertinis. I also want t be able to use a toddler seat with the pram too.

I have the old bertini twin, and it is excellent. It is a bit cumbersome and HUGE but I love the way I can have it rearfacing so I can see what they are up to. I bought it second hand and have had to have 1 of the wheels repaired, but that is DH's fault for bending an axle. I think they are both great, though I have heard 1 family complain about the emmaljunga having an issue with the wheels falling off. The only problem I had with my bertini is that the wheels had to be removed to fit in a sedan boot. It only just fits in my station wagin boot.

We have a Bertini (bought in 2006) and I do love it (haven't had any problems with it). It is heavy but it is sturdy and won't break in a hurry. Which was important to me because I want it to last untill we are finished with having children. We also have to take the wheels (or seat) off so it can fit into the boot, but it doesn't take long to do. We have a commodore sedan. (you probably already know this but make sure you try the pram out in your boot while you are at the baby shop)
I can't speak for the emmaljunga but I did like the look of them too. They were out of our price range though.
Good Luck :)

Thanks everyone,
I have a Magna wagon s boot space not an issue really. I love the idea of the Bertini,my cousin had a twin one & raved about it,i just not sure about the current look of them though.
The Emmaljunga i prefer the look of,the Cerox 360 has front swivel wheels for easier manuvering. If i had my way i's have the Bertinis steering with the Emmaljunger design.

not sure about the Bertini but i am all for the Emmaljunga Brand :D
i had one previously for my two older children and i also have one for this upcoming bub and cannot wait to use it :D
-
For anyone interested i've just found out that the next shipment of Emmaljunga stock isn't until December. They also not sure at this point what stock they'll even get :rolleyes:

After DH road tested every pram ever made we decided on the Bertini X4 lite,havent fully used it yet but am happy with it,was highly recommended by friends who have it and im impressed,i got the other attachments that turns the seat into the high chair and rocker and thought it was great,cant wait to put it in full-time practise

Thanks soniebon,
I love the idea of the Bertini,i just preffer the look of the previous models. I think this is what puts me off a ittle about them,although i find myself leaning towards it again too.
This is why i doing my research now as i'm so torn between the 2 prams. If something else comes out that i like a lots i'm going to go gaga trying to decide :doh:

Well i think i've now decided & changed my mind again on what pram i want. Emmaljunga not available till May 09 now so that sort of rules them out a bit.
Bertini have once again brought out the Shuttle pram :dance: :clap:. I decided to go for a look in the local baby store this morning for something to do. I came across a pram labelled "Boutique Q". It looked oh so familiar from the front. As i had a better look at it i thought it's just like the Bertini shuttle only to then be told it is the new shuttle.
I can't find pic of the new pram but it comes in a lovely chocolate colour with cream piping & detailing. It only comes in this colour for now,they only just started producing them again recently. I think it looks really nice. The only feature missing is that the seat/handle isn'treversable,but i can live without that. The best bit is it's only $430
This is a link to the original shuttle info which is still the same.

I finally found a pic of the pram i found & in the new colour it's come out in.

It comes with a raincover included & i love that the wheels are the solid rubber & we won't have to worry about pumping them up or punctures. I get all the benifits of the Bertini 4 wheel sterring but without the weight of the other models.
