Valco Baby K2 - Urgent help needed!

[Shepsala]

Hi Everyone,
Help!

We've spent 5 hours in total trawling around the baby shops in Sydney to find the right pram for us, and had finally decided on a Steelcraft Mocha Latte (I know, funny name...) when on of the shop assistant said NOT to get it, because they had had so many returns come back to the shop. It was really frustrating but I was glad she was honest.
So we've decided on a Valco Baby K2 Vee Bee pram, from Toys R Us. And it's only $250, which makes us nervous - plus I can't find any reviews on this pram at all.
The guy at the shop said it's from Europe and they must be fairly new, as no one has commented on it.
I have 7 days to go to deadline, and getting a bit stressed out because we had finally made a decision and had to find another option.

Help??

Does anyone have any advice on this? We're going to go and buy it early this week so I'd really appreciate your help on this one...

Thanks guys,

Alexi

Hey Alexi.....The thing I looked at most when buying a pram was the weight....
My friend had a valco rebel and it was very heavy...
I dont know anything about the pram you are wanting to buy...Sorry
Good Luck

Cant help with a reccomendation for them as I've never used one but you can buy them on ebay brand new for $199.95 + postage which would still work out cheaper than the $250 toysrus is selling them for

heres the link to one..

Hi Alexi,
I bought this pram for DS#2 and I love it! It's so easy to push and it fits through checkouts and stuff. I was planning on spending $500 on a Steelcraft but got talked out of it by the saleswoman, she actually recommended the VeeBee which was half the price! My only gripe is that it doesn't have a drinkholder, but hey it's something I can live without.
Go for it :thumbsup:
If you want to know anything specific about it, just ask :)

hey mim, valco makes a drink holder thats only about $10 and clips onto any pram... most specialised baby shops sell it and I'm sure there would be one on ebay somewhere!

Sensational, thanks Mim.

It's nice to hear some good news about such a complicated purchase, we're going to buy it tomorrow!

Love,

Alexi

Oooh thanks Charmzy :thumbsup: I'll have a look!

Alexi, you're more than welcome. let us know what you think. Oh, and before we bought the pram we put our big three year old in it and she had heaps of room!
