hi there i am looking for a new pram for ds he is 16 months and i bought the bertini pram but it is too big and bulky and ds is too long for it. I am wondering if it best for me now to just buy a cheap stroller or invest in a newer pram like a valco runabout or a phil and ted what do you think? What age did you make the transition from pram to stroller

personally i'd go with a stroller. I got mine from target for $80..its a winnie the pooh one...ive had it sofar for 2 yrs still going strong! im gonna use it for ds when hes a bit older

Yep gotta agree on that! Strollers are so light and easy to put in the car and the kids love them because usually they can see everything easier.:yes:

Id personally go for a Steelcraft Phoenix Stroller. It has layback all the way if you want and also sits straight up. My little miss has been in it since 3 weeks and I have had 3yr olds in it as well with no worries. Its very light and only cost me $119.

I'd go a stroller that laybacks so he can still have a sleep in it, something like a steelcraft profile. Great pram, great price. I don't have actually have one, but i've been stroller researching myself. :laughing:

As your DS gets older he will start to want to walk more and you don't want to be lugging around a big 3-wheeler or pram for short trips when he's hardly in it.

Definitely the stroller. I just bought Chicco Stroller from Toys R US. Half Price ended up about $85. Fantastic. Lays back, so suitable from 6 months and folds up really easily. I can fold it and put in the boot all while holding Ds.

I'd go the stroller too. I've had DS in his for just over a month now and it is so much easier to pack away and it fits everywhere!! DS loves it too. And I love that I can hang my shopping bags over the handles, very handy indeed!!! LOL!!:D

I did a bit of research into strollers when I decided I wanted one instead of a big bulky pram.

I wanted something lightweight, with a multi-positional recline, a carry basket underneath and a handle that was like a horizontal bar (not two actual "handles" as such). I also wanted a carry strap (I use lots of public transport), and for the seat to structured, not a cheap "hammock" type of seat.

I then came across the Valco Urban Ultra-light. It weighs a bit under 5kg and is the LIGHTEST pram. It's not a flimsy umbrella pram, but it still folds up really flat and is great quality.

I had to order it online because none of the stores nearby had it... but I bought it at Babies Galore Online for $200 (including postage).

It's brilliant.

:thumbsup: I have this pram and agree, it's great. I also catch public transport and i have used this since DD was about 3 months old. She's 2.5 now and it's still going strong. She loves sitting holding onto the bar at the front. Oh and it has a great big basket for lots of shopping.
