Theres too many to choose from, let alone the diffrent styles.
Trying to decide which one would be best for us, we could do with a travel one that comes with car seat and built in seat for todler age but are they any good? Is it better to get a normal pram and a separate car seat?
Need good suspension for walks with dogs on rough terrain etc
Really confused which to buy its actually doing my head in when first clicked onto pram sites.
Yes it's my first lol
Any help and advise would be great. Cheers

We bought this having twins - http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...ed=0CFAQ8wIwAQ
Large inflatable tyres were a requirement. Some of the prams we looked at would have been a two man lift to put them in the car, and would have needed something with a Stobart livery to carry them.
This double pram, is light, strong, very stable and opens and folds down in seconds. We didn't want a pram with one kid in front of the other, or one kid above the other, as it had potential for conflict as the kids got a bit older. My wife or I take our kids out every day regardless of weather conditions, this thing has covered over 2,000 road miles, with nothing breaking or wearing out except tyres. It has had three punctures, which were easily sorted with a bicycle puncture repair patch on the inner tube. I was told when I bought it, that every component part of the pram can be bought as a separate item if it gets broken.
The only drawback which is probably more applicable to the double pram situation, with two kids in it now with a combined weight of around 3 stone, and the large surface area at the rear of the pram, pushing it into any sort of moderate head wind is quite a workout. Will be less noticeable with a single though,
We bought our family car on the same day as the pram, with the requirement being that one had to fit within the boot space of the other, and my wife had to be able to easily load and unload it from the car.
We paid about £350 for it new. I struggled to see that value of engineering or manufacturing costs in it, with hindsight though, it was a very good choice and has served us well.

Styling wise; no question jane (pronounced harnay, its spanish)slalom pro and matrix pro car seat - lies flat for the early months. Tough, off road capable, but heavy, but safety packed. 5 spoke alloys, front disc brake, 28psi tyres!
You'd be best getting a light weight pushchair later on, for around town

Well we went to toys r us today to have a look around and my wife has got a love for this
http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us...em%20in%20Grey
It does everything we want with space for shopping etc and is surprisingly quite light and fold with the chair fixed as supposed to bare frame
Looked at the quinny and they seem to be more of a fashion accessory/statement and needs to be stripped to fold away which is a bit of a stress and can't turn towards you only the baby seat (3 wheeler) version
So I think we need one with luggage room that's light and not have to strip pram to close and switches both ways and fold without having to strip it, that's 2 items to put in boot of car at least this way we can use car seat and leave it in car and just use pram as it turns both ways and lies flat also with large luggage area and good for terrain walks too.
So so far it's one we've found but will look at other stores to see the other that some shops don't stock.
