I had a Challenger Deluxe with DD and it was great for walking but too big and heavy to put into the car. I sold that a few months ago and now I'm having trouble deciding what to get for the new bub.
I really like the Phil & Ted prams but I don't think DH will let me spend that much.
Its so hard choosing a new pram

Urban Elite MB here and I LOVE it!! I did so much research on them and MB came tops, but P&T's were a close second on my list!
I also have the carrycot option for when Lauren was a newborn and it was such a great investment! Especially on those unettled nights, I'd pop here in and put it next to the bed so I could rest and jiggle her in it to give me a break!

We have the Phil and Teds Sport. I love it, it is so much more manouverable(how the heck do you spell that?) than the twin buggy I had when the gremlins were tiny. My only gripe is that as I get bigger and more pregnant it is getting more difficult to get the gremlin in and out of the toddler seat and getting the toddler seat on and off to fold it. But other than that, completely happy, and most people aren't in my situation with two little toddlers and being pregnant.

I have a Bertini Shuttle 4-wheel-steer and it's the biggest piece of crap ever!!! Gah!!! It doesn't fit in the boot of a normal sedan type car, it barely fits down the checkout aisle at our local supermarket and IT'S FREAKIN' HEAVY!!!!!
Only two things I like about it... it's nice and easy to push and it steers well due to having 4 wheels doing the same thing
I really wish I had gone with the P&T Sport now after seeing so many people with them and obviously not having nearly as much trouble as I am having with mine

I have a Maclaren MX3 which is great except the front wheel has been playing up and I've had to send it in for repair. No one else has returned theirs though (I checked with Baby City) so we may just have a bum one.
I love the pink quinny zapp

We have 3 at the moment! (was 4!). My current favourite is a Steelcraft Racer, it's an umbrella stroller. We have a Steelcraft with reverse handle which is good for shopping but terrible for on the street! And we have a Kensington I think (no make that a Kingston), it's a 3 wheeler with a fixed front wheel, got it very cheap from trademe. At the moment I'm trying to talk hubby into a Phil & Ted.

What's so great about the urban elite MB over the Urban? I'd like one for the next bubs, but I'm loving the purple so am probably going to go for the urban.

What do people think of the new Bertini Prams in Baby City, they look pretty stylish but quite bulky

Does anyone know anything about Chariot? We're both outdoorsy people and they have options for cycle, jogging and skiing attachments (although I have visions of DH skiing with bub and seeing the cliff jumps or attempting rails!). They seem to be a bit of an unknown and so bulky - I'm swaying towards MB.

I bought the Valco Harelequin Tri Mode with the additional bassinet option which I am currently using. Love it - great for taking bubs for walks (long live this wonderful weather!) - very easy to use, folds down nicely... more square than retangular which leaves a good amount of bootspace. Comes with all the accessories so I didn't need to start with a base price and then add on all the necessities. Have had amazing comments on the look of it too!

Have the MB Urban Elite. I really like it, but find it really heavy and awkward to get in the car boot. Therefore we use a smaller lightweight pram (motherschoice) for going to the mall, shopping etc.
