My son is 3weeks 4 days old. I ordered a pram online when I was pregnant after trying it out in an actual shop etc etc...
When the pram arrived the frame did not click into place properly and had to be replaced. The replacement frame seemed good at home but we took my son out for the first time when he was 5 days old and the back left wheel fell off, we put it back but it kept working itself loose. It was dangerous and I got straight onto the company who said they would repair it - I got the reply from them on Tues 11th and sent the pram back that day.
I still hadn't heard anything a week later but on Wed 19th I chased them up and they said they were going to send another replacement instead of me having to wait for the repair. I expected this to arrive friday or at the latest monday 24th but it didn't I chased them on Monday only to discover it hadn't been sent. It finally arrived yesterday, seemed ok round the village yesterday afternoon but I took it to town today and the wheel started falling off again!!! Its so scary, i had to come home so wasted train fare etc etc...
I'm so upset my son is nearly 4 weeks old, I've barely left our village. Luckily he likes the sling and my maitei but its been a heatwave & 35 degrees plus and its really really hilly here so I'm worried about both of us overheating. I'm so frustrated.
I've written a letter demanding a full refund and I'm going to try and buy a pram I can bring home with me tomorrow.
Sorry for the long rambling post just so angry I had to write it out.
Any recommendations for a pram with a rigid carrycot and then a seat that can face both ways would be appreciated. I'm not that keen on Bugaboos coz I think the carrycot is a bit low but other suggestions wanted.
