i had the silvercross 3d with D and loved it until it went into rear facing mode but i find myself looking at them again now extremely tempted ( will not be buying brand new )
i have been given a babystyle lux 3 in 1 pram which is great but with the chassis in the boot not much else is fitting in so i dont think it is going to be realistic to keep it
what pram did/do you have that you couldnt recommend more ?

I had (still have) icandy apple which I love, my niece has just bought one too, they're really great xx

i have a mamas and papas sola which i absolutely love, it's really good for the price too - only 2 downsides, its designed to fit the m+p axon car seat which we didn't like (though it will also fit a maxi cosi - we would go with that next time) and the front wheels are starting to give in now after 17 months of heavy use


best bits are: reclines to 3 positions, front/back facing, car seat fits, folds very small, looks comfy, comes with raincover/hood, lovely colours, very agile, adjustable handle, nice and dinky for going into shops......and on and on

i will google the sola , is it like the luna ? ,, do you have a carrycot thingy that attaches to it for early use ?

i have looked at the icandy but its so expensive , i think if this was first child and intended more i could justify it x

i have a pink luna and if its a girl i could buy the carrycot to attach but then this nice new carrycot would look out of place on my old used worn luna

Go online or ebay and have a look at the different 'hauck' prams and travel systems......I cant recommend them highly enough, I had the Jeep infinity, and it was very similar to the Icandy apple.

There are loads of different ones now, but I think the quality and ease of use is just fab!

We have this and I absolutely love it! Very similar to the Sola, just has the two wheels together at the front, we also bought the Aton car seat and have never had any problems with it. All in all an absolute bargain as you get the carrycot and the seat unit plus raincovers all in for that price xx

^ the aton would have been fine if we had bought the base but by the time we realised we couldn't afford it!

ooooh yeah the zoom is really similar! the sola i think was the 'next' version of the luna, we didn't have a carrycot but you can get one

Shev, you are very bad posting that link. I want one now, but am not allowed

i have only had the phil and teds...but it's amazing as a single or double!!

i really want the stokke pram this time...but at £600 i can't see sam allowing me it...it doesn't fold up overly small too and with needing a wheelchair in the boot space isn't great(although we'll have a vw touran! lol)

the stokke ones are gorgeous but they have no room for shopping underneath and they are sooooooooooo pricey

im loving the fact the zoom faces both ways , been looking on ebay but they are not many on there at all

they do come with one little shopping bag...no space for a baby bag though....and really who needs shopping bag space anyways!?!

when i was looking at prams the other day on mamas n papas the stokke pram bag was £97!!!!!!!!! holy christ

^ the sola faces either way too, its a bit older than the zoom so maybe there may be some on ebay (we are using/have used ours til it drops to bits though so i bet others do too)

I had the baby weaver travel system. Zanab in eastenders has is lol. I just have a stroller now as its smaller and lighter x

i had the obaby zezu and absoloutly loved it!

x

I love my quinny zapp xtra. It's small, can face me or outwards, it's great. Only thing i'd say is if you go on long walks, in like woods with rough path the wheels are quite small so it's not so easy to push but I never go anywhere too rough only around town so don't bother me

i love the zapp xtra, do you have to remove the seat to fold it down though?!

Not sure about the zapp but I've got the quinny buzz 3 and absolutely love it! You can fold it down without taking it apart but only when it's in one position if that makes sense?

Got it before Benjamin was born and everyone said it won't be long until you get a stroller as it's too bulky but he is nearly 2 and a half now and I've never changed it (did borrow a stroller for our trip abroad though). I've taken it in my Clio with the travel cot and luggage loads and it fits in fine. Benjamin loves it and sits in it to watch tv if its out of the garage!

If we have another one I'm going to keep it as well. The only thing I wouldn't get again is the carry cot part. Loved it with Benjamin but he nearly bounced out of it as we walked around and the main part folds flat anyway.

Good luck choosing! Xxx

i have just been looking at the hauck range , if im honest i never even considered these before as i always seen a flipping navy winnie the pooh one and a camel coloured one with the word jeep in huge writing on it and i hated them
i am loving the infinity ( in pram form , would need to see seating unit in person i think , but i love its multifacing ), seems far and few between in sales though and most on the bay of e are collect in person , grrrrrrrr not good for someone in scotland
liking the i'coo and malibu too

yes that is the only annoying thing! luckily i don't get buses or anything anymore so doesn't bother me as its simple to get in the car. Would be a nightmare on public transport though

^ that was what put me off in the end, and that you cant have it parent facing without being reclined?? weird

Yeah i didn't realise that when i bought it... I clearly don't put the thought in that you do! you can have it on like half recline but not up right, bit weird but works for us. I found with my other pushchair that when Immi got to age where i would have it upright she wanted to be facing out anyway, she was barely rear facing after 10months
