Have you seen this news item regarding prams and their owners ?
What does your pram purchase say about you
What pram did/do you have & what do you think it says about you?
I honestly do think for some people it is a status symbol-my prams bigger,better and more expensive than yours π π
We started out with a Mothercare pushchair-one which the car seat would fit into the buggy,very reliable and practical as when baby would fall asleep in the car you could just carry him in without unsettling him. We have got a Silver Cross pop pushchair now as it folds down really small allowing us a bit of boot space.. π D
What this probally says about me is practical..
My wife has what verges on a fettish for anything with wheels and the word baby.
We have a gaggle of push chairs... Here's my thoughts on the most notable ones:
- Quinny Zap. This one is my all time favourite. It can turn within its own space and steers very lightly and responsively so excellent in shops. We have two. [not for country walks]
- Phil and Teds classic. Brilliant all rounder. Bouncy tyres give a smoother ride. Takes two babies/toddlers. Pleasant to push. Can cope with some rough country paths. [todder in the back can play with the wheel as you perambulate]
- Generic maclaren. Excellent to leave in the boot so you have a puschair wherever you go.[not enough support for babies]
- We also have an iCandy Apple and the kit that makes it a Pear. Without being derogitory I found it very heavy to push and near impossible to steer. It often stopped dead when crossing the road and wheels jammed when wanting to push it up the kerb. I go as far to say that I detest using it and I think my wife has finally understood why.
So what does that say about me? Maybe I should own a fleet of cars π
