Prams… Where to start?

For those of you who’ve already bought prams, where do you even begin? Also what’s a reasonable budget?

We know we want the following things but there seems to be so much out there:
Can use with seat or carry cot
Can attach a car seat (haven’t bought this yet either)
Easy to fold down

Think about your lifestyle, where you walk, how big your car/storage spaces are.. this will determine what type of pram you need. If you do lots of walking in parks/on rougher terrain something with bigger wheels is better! If you’re city based something more compact.

Budget should be entirely up to you they can be anything from approximately £300-1500, choose a budget you’re comfortable with!

Most travel systems are compatible universally with car seats such as Cybex, Maxi Cosi, BeSafe and Avionaut.

I’d definitely recommend visiting your local independent retailer if you can ❤️

Honestly travel systems are very very bulky, I don't use mine much at all.

For the carseat I would recommend buying that separate as ones that come in travel systems generally aren't very good and it doesn't matter too much if it attaches to the pram as the amount of time babies should be in car seats is very minimal (30 minutes)

You could save money and get second hand also, as there are always lots going on marketplace very cheap x

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?
