Prams, Prams, Prams - but which one do I chose???

cleopatra · Oct 13th, 2009, 01:37 AM

I've been doing some research for quite some time now but still haven't made up my mind which pram I should go for. I have now two on my list:

The Maxi Cosi Mura 4 and the Babystyle Oyster.

I initially really like the Maxi Cosi, but am planning to do quite a bit of travelling and am worried that the maxi cosi is just a little bit too heavy and airlines might not take it.

The Babystyle Oyster looks really good, but there isn't any shop in Dubai that sells it therefore I'm unable to try it and there are only very few reviews on the net - have you had any experience with it??

Or maybe even some other suggestions, within a similar look? Thanks for your help!

Check out the Icandy cherry, its really light, and has a similar look to the oyster

I have just bought the Mura 4! Havnet recevied it yet but also was worried about the size (have seen it in a shop though!) As I will be getting a maxi cosi car seat to go with it, a friend suggested also getting a zapp (maybe second hand) as you can use the car seat with that as well, just for travelling

Have you been using this one long? Does it have any little faults which you have come across? The problem is that I can't get that pram in Dubai and would need to buy it in the UK, so if there is something that needs to be replaced it will be a little bit more complicated. Can't wait to hear more from you.
Many thanks

cleopatra are you getting a pram shipped from the UK to Dubai? I am looking to get a silvercross pram shipped from the UK to the US and I was wondering if that was easy to do.

Hope you dont mind me interjecting, I think that you may find it pretty hard to get someone to ship directly to the US for you, especially a Silver Cross. You could always ask someone on here who is UK based that you are friends with if they will get it shipped to them and then send it on to you??? I did that with a friend from the US when I wanted a Valco

I have a Loola up (used for 3 months and now selling), a Silvercross (love but am selling) and now a quinny buzz (favourite and still using) but for new baby I am going for the babystyle oyster just need to pick the colour.

Guess I might be a pramaholic!!.....Might look at the icandy now (oh hates it when I come on here and read about prams lol)

I'm actually going to UK over xmas therefore won't need to ship it, but I know there is company in Holland that does pram shipping. The shipping charges are pretty high but if I compare it with the Dubai prices it still works out cheaper. The company is babycare dot nl
