Black coloured prams?

[LolaAnn]

personally I find bright pink etc prams fairly tacky and rather impractical unless you know you are only having one kid etc, I have a black iCandy Apple and love it, never thought twice about it being black I just think it looks great, I have a couple of toys dangling in nice bright colours for bub,

Black is a fantastic colour, they are smart and practical and can be used for a
girl or boy.

Im not keen on pink/purple/green/red pushchairs, i prefer neutral colours like
black, grey, navy ect. x

I love the sola I have it in purple. But if we hadn't of known what we were having then I would be just as happy with black. There is also the truffle colour which was nice. I made sure hubby was aware if we have another then they get a new pram too x x x xx

I have a black/charcoal check mama's & papa's pram from 5 years ago which I will be using again as it is in perfect condition and would do a girl or boy. Just add bright blue or pink covers in the pram to add your wee splash of colour.
My cousin has a cream pram and her son is 5 months and the pram looks really grubby now, she has tried washing/wiping what she can but some black marks just won't come off. It is unavoidable if your putting it in and out of car boots etc x She is now wishing she bought black x

I just said to DH yesterday, "How do you fancy a black pram?" He was delighted at the idea....it appealed much more than pushing a big coloured thing about. Also my dad has a funeral director's business so all our other "chariots" are black, he,he!!!! I love black....always have. I think it's classy, smart and goes with everything.

Thank-you all for your comments. I think I will stick with my origional choice and add bits of colour in other ways. That will also mean that regardless of sex I can add colours to suit.

I am sure my sis is just over reacting as when she was buying everything was navy blue or versions of it.

I still love the orchid pinky /purple colour but I really couldn't put a boy in it and I don't think DH would be happy pushing a boy in it either.

I was gonna go for the stokke xplory but think now I'm gonna go for the Bugaboo Camaleon limited edition one thats black black black!

Love it.

 

[Hannaaisha]

I'm getting Cameleon too, I don't like the Stokke its massive and you cant get on public transport easily and looks weird like a pole with a baby on top! and the baby bag is at the front not where you can get to it easily.

 

[beccybobeccy]

we are getting the M&P Urbo but is a lot like the Sola and comes in black...
I don't really like the idea of patterns etc but I will be having brightly coloured blankets and accessories etc...

 

[Hannaaisha]

P.S - My wannabe hot pink bugaboo is like sexy tacky though so its ok haha.

I've gone for the silvercross linear freeway in 'jet sport' which is black. I love it, looks really stylish, and will be easy to keep clean.

 

[moomin_troll]

zane had the trenton which is back and its a lovely pram and i never got any weird comments like that lol i wanted to get a black pram from first being pregnant as its unisex n my oh wouldnt moan about pushin a pink pram around lol

Hi
I've not read the whole thread but I am going for the Mamas and Papas Sola too. I think it's a great travel system! I'm also going for the black version and my thinking is that it's a great base colour to add more to with bright coloured blankets, pram toys, nappy bag etc. xx

 

[samantha.xo]

I bought the Silvercross Surf in black & slate, and I think it looks amazing! I think black prams look great & stylish, and it's all neutral so you can use it for a next baby. With mine, I plan to add colour by blankets

I never considered any other colour for my pram!

 

[shayandbump]

We had a black pram & pushchair and I loved it, don't see anything wrong with having black?! The only problem we found was that it got quite warm during the summer.

 

[Lil_Apple]

Our pram is black and my thinking was it will be neutral in future if we wanted to sell it on or had a girl that needed a pram when DS was walking more I dont think it looks morbid at all though....you have a bright and beautiful lil person on board..how could it??

 

[MissMamma]

I got the Babystyle oyster black pearl and its absolutely gorgeous plus i can dress it up with bright coloured blankets and changing bag etc..xx

 

[blinkybaby]

I want a black pram too - don't think OH will be too happy with pushing round a really brightly coloured one, I know it's not about him but I want us both to feel comfortable pushing the pram and like the above poster has said, I'll be dressing it up with bright blue/pink blankets (depending on sex of baby) to make it look more cheerful.

I've not heard of a superstition like that. The only one that I know of is that it can't be kept in your house so once we buy the pram it will stay at my MIL house. xxx

 

[KellyC75]

We are getting the Oyster pram & were going to get the pearl colour....But then cam eto our senses & remembered how quickly it could get dirty & look tatty

So we are getting a black pram (with pink 'trimmings' )
