Ok there is just so much info on prams im stumped i had my pram all picked out an xtrail love n care pram for $540 but then on bub hub i came across the reviews and it didnt sound so great so now im stumped there is so much out there and so many posts on them. I want a three wheeler that is sturdy easy to maneavure, easy to collapse, good basket space comes with a safe toddler seat attached and must have leg room for them. Can anyone advise me as im overwhelmed :detective::rolleyes:

I have a swallow beema and it's great! Really easy to steer with one hand. I think that there are reviews on this one. I know that you can get a toddler attachment with this pram, but I have never used it so I don't know how it will go I have heard alot of bad things about 3 wheelers with a toddler seat.

Would the phil and ted e3 pram be the best?

I was in looking at prams today and was told by the store owner that the E3's are a waste of money. I've been looking at the adventure buggy twin and the single version might suit you.. here is the site

Honestly in all my experience a toddler seat that goes in front of the other child just doesnt work except for VERY short trips. I prefer side by side twins for my kids and they all sit in the seats at different times aged 4, 3, 1 and 7 weeks.

I had a bertini shuttle with a toddler seat and I love the pram as a single but not with the toddler seat on.

Make sure when you find a few you're interested in that you go into a few stores and play around with them a LOT! Put your toddler in them and try them out! We went pram shopping today and spent a good 2 hours doing this with the e3 twin (decided no way not suitable) and the mountain buggy twin (once again decided no way) and the adventure buggy twin which are still deciding on.

goodluck! hope I havent rambled too much lol

I ahve a Steelcraft Swivelrite Deluxe and love it! We got the Deluxe so that it can take a toddler seat, but haven't used one yet as we still only have the one child. One thing I'd comment on is to look for the way the seat is reclined and positioned to upright. The Steelcraft prams all have a simple lever so you can just click it up or down with one hand. I know friends have other 3 wheelers that rely on zippers or straps to fasten the seat in an upright position which they say drives them mental. it takes two hands and isn't all that easy to do, especially with a sleeping baby or, even worse, a screaming baby!

Just something that I have found I've had alot of feedback on from other mums.

Good luck with your decision.
