I was wondering if you ladies had any suggestions for a pram. We only have 3 criteria...
1. Adjustable Height Handle (butPeg Perego handles don't adjust high enough for fave hus - he's really tall)
2. Reversible so baby can face you or look out at world, even when a toddler (so attachable bassinet is not the preference)
3. Fits in the boot of our Pulsar (so Valco Rebel & Infa Voyager all out of the running)

We've looked everywhere we can think of for such a pram, & it just doesn't seem to be working out for us. Can you guys think of any options we haven't thought of - prams that you use & love?

We have a Steelcraft Acclaim and love it! It has a reversible handle and is quite compact (it easily fits in the boot of a Corolla so it should be fine in a Pulsar). The handle isn't height adjustable though. I don't actually know of any prams that are reversible and have a height adjustment for the handle...there might be some out there though. Good luck!

i have one that i got from target. its a mothers choice one. the handles have 2 heights and it is reversible and it fit in the boot of our kia shuma (similar to the kia rio and quite small) but when the pram was in the boot not much else could fit too.

We looked at the Valco RAD.

Height adjustable handle
Reversible seat
Bassinet
Quite compact
Looks very similar to the Bugaboo but is no where near the price!
You can check them out on the Valco website.

Let me know what you think if you check them out!

If not, www.valco.com.au (http://www.valco.com.au) and go to Australia then Four Wheel Prams.

I was not thinking bugaboo because of cost, but that one looks quite excellent. Thanks for that!

I've got the Childcare infinity and it does all those things.

should take you to the info.

Both the bassinette and toddler seat can be put onto the frame facing you or the world. It fits into my Astra hatch easily. Is lightweight and easily to drive - very stable on 4 wheels. handles like a dream and most importantly my bub loves it!

Peg Perego has an adjustable handle and I know that it fits in Corolla. It's pretty much the same as Steelcraft Acclaim in terms of features, just more costly as it's made in Italy vs China. We almost bought one when I was pg but ended up going for a 3-wheeler.

Okay i am Going to say the BUGABOO, and you don't have to pay the Retail cost!! You can buy on EBAY brand new Bugaboos for a saving!!
I did and eventhough i have not used it yet it is everything you could ever want in a pram! I bought mine on Ebay it was brand new!!! I too have a small sedan and it that folds flat and gives you all the options that you mentioned!!!

Goodluck with your pick, they are heaps of great prams out there:)

:no: No they don't have a seat but they have an attachment for toddlers to stand on, not really sure how it works though! Maybe have a look at the website or ask at babies galore.

i highly recomment the phil and ted sport. I recently bought one 6 months ago and they are fantastic with adjustable handle. My 3 yr old loves it and can't get out of the straps and BEST of all it fit in the boot of my mazda 121 bubble. I have ALWAYS has difficulty with getting strollers in the boot but it gets in and leaves me with ample room compared to other prams. Only downside is it doesn't have reversable handle though it does have peephole and if it's in the lying flat position your little one can look right up at you. I just can't wait for number 2 to start using all the other awesome features. If your worried about the price go for a second hand one. They're awesome...
