Baby prams - Is the Bugaboo still cool?

In order to buy a pram you need a degree in engineering and a whole lot of patience to find out all the pros and cons before you make this very important purchase because it is not cheap!! Comparable to a small car.:))

It was all about the Bugaboo, and don`t get me wrong, it is still a fabulous pram but I have the feeling it`s glory days are over.  It is now time for some new models to shine...
But hats off to the Dutch as they are definitely the leaders in prams!

I am no expert but there are 3 prams which caught my eye. The first pram is the Hesba  - The Rolls Royce of prams, not very practical unless you have a huge car, huge garden or live in the country....definitely not something zippy for the city. But... it is just gorgeous and worth buying just to look at.....if you can afford it!


Second pram is the Joolz, and here I might be a bit biased as this is the one I bought. :) It is perfect if you are tall as the whole pram is set much higher including an adjustable push bar. (Plus I love the fact it is leather, the foam bars give me the "heebie jeeebies" to touch.)
The high seat is also adjustable to fit a growing baby from 6 months to 4 years and can go totally flat.  Lastly it is very compatible and importantly looks very chic.:)  
Tip: the nappy bag is worth buying as it hooks onto the push bar and is therefore very practical to have your hands free. The Maxi Cosi new Pebble car seat can also be clipped on.
But the real test will be to actually use it so I will keep you posted. www.joolz.com
 
The third pram is a pram which was just recently introduced to me through a "High Heels and Nappies"  Mom and got to say it looks pretty cool. It is called Mutsy and yes it is another Dutch invention. Has a sporty look with lots of versatile features.. worth a looking into. www.mutsy.nl


At the end of the day there are lots of great prams and you need to find one that fits best to your lifestyle. So good luck with the hunt!

  1. The Bugaboo name is pretty new in the baby prams and baby pushchairs arena and only really came into prominence after a well known celebrity was seen pushing their child in one. It's amazing how a bit of celebrity endorsement can work wonders on your product sales.

  2. you can get a Hesba at Jan Stewart Pram & Nursery in East Kilbride, just outside Glasgow.
    £899 is not that bad when you consider you can choose interior, exterior fabrics and a choice of 5 wheen combinations!
