Anyone disappointed with their choice of pram?

[jakemybaby]

I am

It's rubbish. It's a graco something or other travel system and I hate it.

With my son, we splashed out and bought the bebe confort loola system, and I loved it. We then lent it to my husbands sister and when it came back to us, in time for Alice's arrival, it was in a bit of a state. Well quite a big state, so even though money is a bit tight, my husband agreed to me buying a new one for Alice and we spent £350 on the new one and gave the loola to a charity shop.

Now I'm using it, I realise how inferior it is to the loola. The car seat is massive, I can just about manage to lift it when Alice is inside and one of the wheels squeaks... Constantly... Despite my spraying nearly a whole can of wd40 on it.

I so regret the choice we made, and we can't afford to buy a different one.
I also regret giving away the loola, as even a scuffed up dirty pram would be preferable to the one I have.

Sorry, rant over!

yep i totally felt like this i had 2 silvercross 3d prams which both broke so decided to try a graco fusio pram and had nothing but trouble with it ie wheels squeaking n getting stuck, after 3 months i had enough and bought a new one again which is a maxi-cosi loola (think its a new version of the bebe confort loola) and love it

 

[jakemybaby]

Omg! Now you've said the name, I'm pretty sure it's the fusio that I've got!

Looks nice, but it's a bag of sh*te

Yes, and surprise, it was a Graco! So I stopped using it after a few weeks and went straight to babywearing, never bothered with it since until a few days ago.

I have serious pram envy and could happily spend hours looking online. I have a Silvercross 3d and while it's practical and functional it's not very exciting

 

[mummy2lola]

I'm not impressed with mine at all,the silvercross freeway.i was so excited about getting it and now I really want to sell it and get somehing else xx

I don't regret the pram as a whole, but I wish I didn't buy the carrycot part(£195 ). It looks lovely but I can't get into the basket underneath! It's a freaking pain in the butt. Really gets on my nerves.
Cannot wait until Isla can sit up and we can put the chair bit on it instead.

Im not sure if I dare admit it! Pram cost us over £600 and my gran paid £500 of that so I darent say anything! Its like a tank! Its so big I hit everything in sight Its a Jane Slalom R, with carrycot that goes into a car seat (very handy, baby sleeps in it well) and the pushchair seat for LO to eventually use. He is only 13 weeks and fills most of the carrycot so I am panicking!

Blimey £195 on a carry cot is a lot of money, what pram do you have?

I love my pram, I wouldn't change it (Mamas & Papas Zoom) but its SO wide. It drives me insane. Hate it!

 

[xcharx]

I got the mothercare trenton deluxe & you can't use the shopping basket if the seats laying flat which you need to do with the carry cot and car seat!!! It's a pain but I do like it apart from that x

 

[pinkycat]

I *had* the mothercare my4. Hated it. The carrycot rocked and flapped about went in the shop, they said they know about it, it's a known fault. The handle was faulty, it would lock on 1side but not the other, wheels jammed up etc. Was soooo disapointed. I ordered it after my 12week scan and paid it off on the baby plan. After complaining and going to trading standards they gave me store credit and iv got the silver cross pop with the butterflies. Love it xx

I done months of pram research b4 I settled on the oyster.. I drove everyone mental.. So I loved my pram choice as I took so long choosing lol. Seriously do your homework b4 u buy a pushchair!! Its like buying a car lol

 

[cookielucylou]

We have a graco, it's not too bad but feels a little wobbly now we have been using it a while. I could never carry lo in the car seat as it was too heavy for me. We just went with the cheapest as we didn't have much spare money when he was born, and I would love a different one but oh said no I'm hoping we get pregnant again soon so I could get a double one

iCandy Peach.

 

[jewbag86]

I have a babyjogger city select and tbh I ADORE it it is big tho like a bus it converts to a double hence size it's easy to push even with both kids I'n lol just realised I have nothing much to moan about lol but then I should love it cost me £780 lol

 

[shimmy]

Yes! The carrycot was brilliant but the carseat didn't fit securely in the car and the push chair was secured by velcro!!!!!! Shit Pram(hauck malibu) we got a second hand sola For 70 and I love it

 

[tina3747]

I did love my oyster just really hate the colour now!! I got thr pearl and just wish I'd got the black with a colour pack.

 

[Maman]

ive had many. I had a graco, a mothercare one, a loola and a chicco

id never buy graco or mothercare brand again, absolutely awful quality. The loola was FAR too heavy. I hate pushing buggies at the best of times but boy that was like tryign out for worlds strongest woman.

I like chicco as a brand. Theyre good price, user friendly, nothing out of the ordinary and extremely easy to clean (compared to say a graco) i had the liteway before and getting the trio enjoy this time

as far as stroller is concerned, silvercross fizz is a really good lightweight.

 

[mummy2lola]

I did all the research on ours,took months choosing it,does everything it says on the tin but I still hate it now lol xx
