[QUOTE=Dawnlouise30;16888043]ah in that case i agree with her, my friend had it and it was a nightmare pram, really heavy and dead difficult to unfold.
We have gone for the mothercare my 4 - got it in the sale, really lovely pram with a nice and easy fold down system, can be parent facing too and has the carrycot on it which later converts to a seat. we got it on the babycare plan so we can spread the cost too and not get it delivered till we need it.

I got the my3 on the same plan thing, £100 off overall with it and the maxi cosi car seat being on sale! I like it because no separate carry cot, I live in a flat and need to space save and went for 3 wheels because I walk my dog everyday and didn't want to stick to paths. Pleased to spread the cost too, anything we are buying new will go on the plan.

I was glad she was honest with me It was the Silvercross 3D, she said the bottom drop on it or something making the support go.. and she said the clip that holds it together when its collapsed doesn't last long. Nevermind, on the look out for a different one!

hey ladies, joining the pram and cot talk.

we have small bedrooms so bought a cot from Ikea for LO for £40 a few years ago, they still do it. the mattress is only £30 too. so we just buying a new mattress for it.

I went on FaceBay on Facebook and bought a second hand travel system for £60.00 its a Graco but comes with so much stuff they never used. most importantly fits in the car!!

We are going to get our cot from ikea too. Everything else in our house seems to be ikea! Lol.
The one I want is white and £60 and the mattress is £35. I love the winnie the pooh one in Mothercare but I can't justify £200+ on just the cot.

My husband put a bid on a Moses basket to on eBay which is local collection, fingers crossed we win it at a bargain price.

Mrs B - afraid I have to agree on the Silvercross 3D - don't do it. I know someone who works somewhere that sells them and she said they get more of those back than anything else under warranty because they don't take very well to being folded and put up again and they break as a result.
We looked at them last time, and I quite liked them before that. We ended up with a loola, debated between that a my3/my4 and a quinny buzz. In the end we went purely for the one that folded smallest and easiest as we knew we'd need to put it in the car a lot.

I can recommend Ikea nursery stuff, ours is great. Sadly it doesn't look like they do the range we have any more though We've just ordered a toddler bed for little man so baby will just get his old room as it is. Might change some of the pale blue stuff if we're having a girl, but I'll see, I hate decorating so the room is actually cream, as it was when we moved in!

A few pages back someone mentioned about "advice" and comments they were getting. It's hard, people all have a different experience and want to share it with you. I'm sure i'm guilty of it too, but I do try to say "I did.... and this is why" rather than "I think you should...." - please tell me if I ever put anything on here that is too much, I'm not easily offended and would much rather know.
