Pram

[space-game-91]

So I have had a lazy day today, I have spent a lot of time scouring the internet for things to buy for my baby. I haven't bought anything at all yet, but I'm thinking if I buy things in bits rather than all at once it'll be easier than having to come up with all of the money at once.
One thing I'm having trouble with is a pram! Me and my OH are definately on a budget and I can't find a rear facing pram for a reasonable price! They're all so expensive. I'd much prefer a pram that faces me rather than faces out, but by the looks of it I won't be able to afford one
Ah well, back to looking for other bargains ....

How much is your budget hun, and are you after a travel system?

With travel systems, when you put the car seat into the stroller they all face towards you! It's only when they're older and sit up in the actual stroller that they face away.

Do you have anything like the Graco Flip It available in the UK? It's the travel system I have and it allows you to flip the handle to the other side so you can have baby facing you when he's sitting in the stroller as well. It was $200.

If these are too expensive, you may want to concider Ebay and that type of site, or buying second hand xx

Here are some travel systems (not all facing mummy, sorry!) that you may like...cheapest I could find too.

See, but when baby is in the car seat he's facing mom! And they generally can stay in that until they're 20 lbs or so. Once they're past that, they honestly don't want to be facing Mom and are far more interested in whats going on around them!

Yeah, definately
If your budget is low hun, I would reccomend a cheap travel system, as car seat is included, and you need one regardless, to bring bubs home from hospital

Depends on your budget hun. We have got a Bugaboo Cameleon as it ticked all our boxes and my fiance loved it so much more than other prams.

If you are on a low budget, try ebay, they have some fab deals x

 

[FayDanielle]

Ive just found some good ones on kiddcare too Travel systems under £200 x

 

[space-game-91]

Thanks!
Our budget is less than £200, but a travel system seems like a really good idea, thanks for all your suggestions

 

[FayDanielle]

Dont forget you will get your £190 grant at 25 weeks, so you could maybe put that towards it too?

Hauck do a travel system that includes carseat, changing bag, and a carrycot and its also rear facing (well it can face either way!) for £224 i know its not under £200 but for what you get its great and it comes in loads of colours too =))
