Spending money on a new pram is possibly one of the biggest wastes of money you can think off.. They tend to be nothing more than a status symbol.

Babies spend very little time in prams, they can sit / sleep in virtually anything.

They are much easier to manage in a papoose ( we used the baby bjorn which was excellent)

Maybe so but sometimes it is best to go along with what the mother wants, rather than cost counting.

Silver Cross is a good bet.

They do seem to be popular.

I have been amazed at some of the costings though - we looked at one yesterday that was over £1000!

After looking around we really like the Joolz Day and there are some on ebay for a decent price - some prams really seem to retain their price too.
