My utter favourite is a Silver Cross Kensington in navy blue.

2nd fave - SC Balmoral

3rd fave - Bertini Bidwell 4wheel drive (DS had that!)

4th - something like Loola or proper carrycot types

5th - Maclaren range

I hate those weird looking ones;

1 - ANY with a carseat instead of a chair/carrycot (abhor them)

2 - bugaboo style

3 - Quinny zap style (the kid looks so uncomfy a lot of the time)

4 - 3 wheelers

5 - anything beige/cream! (what a silly colour for a buggy! (if you want brand - Mamas n Papas cos they aren't very sturdy are they... seem to break a lot)

[Alambil]

here is the Bertini - I love it because it lies totally flat and I made it into a proper pram style for DS with his moses basket matress!

I hate it cos it is HUGE though lol

[scottishmummy]

1st this leather monstrosity

2nd this logo crazy eye sore

3rdthis white wheeled graphics hallucination 4th this swiveling camode 5ththis leatherette kitsch horror

[tulip27]

Definatly the bugaboo, its just so middle class bodenesque!

[TabithaTwitchett]

I love my Stokke, dd is high up and loves it, it can be used in cafes etc when highchairs are all taken and it looks weird!

[scottishmummy]

oh i am middle class bodenesque then i have 2 bugaboos

[FlllightAttendant]

Lewis, I like your Bertini! I used to have the other model which I loved until I overloaded the shopping tray and the axle snapped

Scottishmummy, I take all mine back and opt for your choice please instead - truly, truly horrifying!!!! Especially that Bug and the leather Mac. Actually all of them...

Babystyle, mmmm

I think the Bugaboo is Ok looking (not that white one obv) but the seat is very shallow, and I keep seeing children in them who look sort of 'perched' - nowhere to curl up or stash toys on the seat. Headroom limited as well.

[isaidno]

scottishmummy - you are well informed!
Can't believe that number 4!

[scottishmummy]

a howler isnt it

[onebatmother]

FA so true about limited headroom in buggaboo

i have this but not in artificial limb pink

in bright green. Loads of room.

ugly/gorgeous? cant' quite decide..

[onebatmother]

Oh my god Scottishmummy!!!
Is that a man or a woman with the white freakoid buggaboo?
This is very wrong, in every respect.

[NatalieJane]

Scottish, I actually quite like that orbit thing, looks very practical, am I weird?

[scottishmummy]

well it does turn 360degrees should your baby need it and many schlebs have them...so mebbe bit weird

[3andnomore]

what are they thinking

or aren't they

possibly aren't

another yukki one

yukkilicious

how about this one

must have, surely

can't live without

or how about this one

[FlllightAttendant]

NJ I quite liked it too...obviously with the seat on, though!

[NatalieJane]

LOL yes, when I clicked the link and just the frame came up, had images of poor kid sat on the circle thing

I even went as far as to see how much it was - $800+ for just the basic set, am thinking that equals about £450-£500???? Not bad really....

Sorry Scottish, but just as I wouldn't go and buy a buggy because a schleb had it, I wouldn't not buy it either! I am secretly (or not ) very impressed with it

[onebatmother]

the kid on the circle seat buggy would have excellent gross motor/balance skills though, wouldn't he?

[scottishmummy]

it gets worse Bon Jovi Buggygrim

[scottishmummy]

im on a roll burberry buggy

[NatalieJane]
