Now Seemed The Best Time To Do This

Excellent choice of pram, it is the best one on earth :D I've got it in black with black & white circles but they don't do that colour scheme anymore. It's been in use for ten months and still looks fab. I wish this pram was around a few years ago, I always wanted an umbrella folding one that would lie totally flat but then convert when the baby was older yet nobody made one like that. I made do with first a Maclaren and then Emily had a M&P Pliko which is almost the same as this but without the laying flat option. I spotted somebody with a Pramette a few months before I became pregnant with Georgia and swore I would have to have one if I had another baby. Mr GG was insistant I re-use Emilys old Pliko but I compromised and bought a nearly new Pramette on Ebay. I'm sure it'd only been wheeled up the garden path twice, it was immaculate but a fraction of the cost. Mr GG still whinged but I had to have the perfect pram that had been in my head for nine years :lol:
 
Just looked on Ebay, there are a few brand new in box ones but if I were on the hunt for another Pramette I'd have this one here. Bargain!
 
Ovverbruv - you mean they become the hyperactive, peevish, bratty little beasts pestering their parents in the shops nowadays? Yeah, far, far too much stimulation!

The other thing I find appalling about the low, open-fronted ones is that the child's nose is just at the right height to inhale all of the filth off the roads, exhaust fumes, dust, etc., as against the old-time prams (think Silver Cross and nannies in the park) which protected the babe within, being considerably higher.
 
This one does both - a parent facing pram initially then flick a couple of switches and it becomes an away facing buggy.
 
:blink: Can you convert it to a quad bike in a few years' time, too, Pee? Now that sounds a really sensible piece of equipment. I've seen some where the top can come off the wheels (by design!) and then you've got a baby carrier, too. Very clever. I was just hauled around in a carrycot, which looked like a sports bag! Now, there's a thought for your old cricket bat bags...
 
That would be a sensible piece of stuff, wouldn't it, Colin? It seems so daft that such a load of money gets spent on baby stuff, only for it to serve one purpose, when it could be 'transformed' into something more appropriate as the baby becomes a child, then a teenager... and later, it's a wheelie for the decrepit old codger it finally becomes!
 
Jon, yes you can take the inside out as a baby carrier. It is very multi-functional and is supposed to last until she is 3 and a half, by which point I hope she won't really need one.

It will last. I had Emilys M&P Pliko from birth and it was in daily use up until she decided she no longer needed it aged three :)
 
Paul, a post of yours on another thread has just reminded me.

Now that you are about to become a father, have your views on carbon footprints and global warming changed?
