What Pram do you have?

What Pram would you like?

What are best for two children?

When do they stop using them?

Do you have a stroller?

 

And any other questions you have about PRAMS & STROLLERS!!!!!

WOW!!!
I hope I dont come across sounding awful here like a total tighta$$ but omg! I could NOT spend that much money on a pram!!
Again sorry, dont wanna sound like I am a cheapskate but that is just completely out of the question for us!
We could never afford it anyway but I honestly dont know if I could justify that anyway. That is sooooo sooooo much money!
 
On the pram discussion, I think I will only get a single again, I am unsure tho. As I said above I guess it is a decision I can leave totally until the last minute and just see how Brandon is with walking at that stage. Being just over 2 I guess he will get tired quicker tho. Are all double prams that expensive? If they are then I will definitely be getting a single and he will have to walk! lmao

The bottom is seperate Janna. $100 extra. lmao Kel will think its even worse now. 
I don't think all double prams are that expensive. My other double was $200 and something. But in defence phil and ted is pretty cool lmao.
Will you need to buy another single pram Kel? Is B's one had it??
I don't think you sound like a cheapskate at all. It is ALOT of money and for a pram. But I have used it for all 3 girls and since I had all of them close we have had great use from it.
My sister had 4 kids and got a new pram for each one and I would say she definatly ended up spending more than I did on phil and ted. Plus I think I could sell mine on ebay after and get a lil bit for it.

LOL...
Oh Kel, I don't think you sound like a cheapskate at all.
I nearly died when I saw the price of some of the prams. The Phil & Teds is nothing compared to the buggaboo stuff. Its like over $1500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
We got Ella's "Holden" pram for Target before we had even started TTC. It was around the $300 (I think) and we laybuyed IT and a matching Porta-cot. At the time we had plenty of money (having two full incomes), so it wasn't a big deal.
 
But unfortunetly, we HAVE to get a new pram. Ella's in broken and its not fixable.
If it were fixable, I wouldn't even think about getting another pram.
 
Andrew & I were looking at a few different one's tonight. Have no idea what we will do yet.

lol, well I am glad you dont think me a cheapskate then!
Hayles made some very good points tho in her post and when I was talking to her on msn. I guess too if you get as good a use out of it as Hayles had then it would definitely be worth the money. Also good point about buying a few and it equalling one good one too, something to consider I guess.
HOley moley janna $1500!!! Here I was squealing at half of that! lol
Yes I know what you mean by you had plenty of money back then when you had 2 full time incomes. Probly wouldnt think twice about it then. If you laybyed it I guess you wouldnt notice as much but still I guess depends how long you can layby for and how much per week etc.
Was saying to Hayles that my one for B isnt completely trashed or anything I just dont like it that much. It is fine tho and I may just use it yet, not sure as I really want a reversible handle but it wasnt my original pram, I loved my first one it was a 'Mothers choice' and it ended up breaking and so I took it back to the shop but they didnt have anymore so they gave me the next closest thing which was this pram and I didnt like it as much but it worked and all.
 
Anyway I am not cheap and trashy!!!! I promise! lol
And I know you girls arent made of money either I wasnt trying to be rude and mean that either, from the sounds of it we all seem to be in similiar situations when it comes to dosh so I am sure you understand why I was shocked! lmao

No, definetly don't think your cheap, trashy or anything like that.
If I knew for sure I would be having another 2 kids, I would "maybe" invest in a dearer pram. But right now, I have no idea if we will ever even have ONE more kid.
And I have no idea what we will do about a pram.
 
I need to get a new pram as Ella's is broken.
If it wasn't broken, I don't think we would bother with another pram.
 
On page 8 & 9 of the current Target catalogue there is some Prams & Strollers.

This is another Pram/Stroller that our friend who works at Babies Galore recommended.
 
 
I still think its on the $$ pricey side...

We went to babies galore today as its near the Dr's.
I had a good look at Phil & Ted Prams and some other one's too.
Found the Bubba Moe slings and had a look at the Maxi Riders too.

oh cool did you find anything you will consider buying?
A friend at playgroup who has 2 children had a double pram there the other day, it looked okay, I assume it would be like the one Hayles has that isnt a phil & ted one.
I am seriously thinking tho that this time I will just buy one of those universal stand thingies that you put on a single pram and the older child can stand or sit on. Well they are supposed to stand on them I think but I am sure they could sit on them if they got tired. I just think B MAY rather that by that age, he may be nearly over prams.
Dont know tho, still in the deciding stage which I may take until baby is here even to decide cos then I will have more of an idea about what he may or may not wanna do.

Nah, I still have NO idea.
Part of me still loves the Phil & Ted one. And I found one for under $500!!! LoL.
There is a Valco one that has the todler seat too and its nice to push.
 
But I really have NO idea.
