Back in my day Silver Cross and Mama's & Papas were top of the range. Maclaren back in those days produced for the cheap end of the market. They produced the uglyest pushchairs and still do from what I've seen.

There seems to be lots of choice these days and lot's of designs but I wonder if some have forsaken the comfort of the child for the sake of overall look and fashion.

And it seems you need six hands these days to collapse a buggy...obviously designed by men.

@vezz i havent thrown out my 1st pram
but its a very big mothercare urban detour xtreme 3 wheeler travel system, all the weight is in the back and it didnt make good for my London travels. it nearly came down the escalator on the underground but was wedged between the sides lol. its just not practical until i am driving.

i am selling it. noticed on ebay people are buying them so hopefully i will get a decent price

@all i am liking the m&p's luna Luna - Azure - Mamas & Papas and the silvercross 3D Silver Cross 3D Complete Pram System - Coast : mothercare

i think i might go for something that has a carrycot so thatdoubles up as a moses basket .

problem with m&p is colour. they simply lack colour choice.
i need handles to hang shopping on as the handle bar is not good at all

been told thehandle thing is a non issue as you get these clips to hang shopping off.

has anyone had any experience of the bugaboo range? if so what do you think of the chameleon or even the soon to be available bugaboo bee, both can be seen at the bugaboo website
