****** April Mummies!!!! ******

In mothercare the lady didn't tell me I could take the buggy off or that we could get isofix its only because I did my homework as I saw my SIL's travel system and isofix and started to doubt my impulse buy I wanted her one haha anyway after a bit of homework I found out mine did the same and was better for folding so am again in love with mine. The buggy looks like it will go upto a good age to as some look small for a big toddler and you will end up buying a stroller... I'm planning on this lasting me until baby is out of buggys... the buggy itself is suitable for newborn laid back flat so you don't need extras like carrycot if not needed.

Last time I had the mclaren techno stroller suitable from birth that's did me till she was 3/4 ( refused to walk... Look forward to that argument )and that was brilliant but I wanted something different this time. For the mclaren I felt I had to get sheepskin inlays ect to make it comfy as at the end of the day it's a buggy not a pram but I found it fab. Good luck and don't rush but consider the Britax its fab. ( I found it hard to move car seat handle but hubby was fine and said in just weak haha) xx

I've got the Britax B-smart 3 and it's great considering you can get all the bits and bobs (carry cot, car seat) for half the price of a lot of travel systems out there! Love that it parent faces, we still mainly use it parent facing and she's 10 months old as I like to see her and she likes to pull faces at me! The car seat is great too. It is very heavy but we leave it in the cars now she is bigger, and I think it probably means it would withstand well in a crash compared with some lighter car seats!

My only problem with the pram is it's heavy and bulky when folded and you can't fold it with the pushchair attached if it's parent facing but we still use it all the time despite the fact we also have a wee stroller!

Think I will get the B-dual for the two of them! Then I can use my car seat and carrycot on that chassis xx

It's amazing all the bits you can add isn't it.... I know what you men about parent facing its lovely isn't it I will probably use the caraway and carry cot on it for quite a while so I can make the most of the parent facing x

Hi pink 79 and mega meadow .. welcome to April mummies xx

 

[alouisebx]

Hey! So sorry to hear you're tired, I'm the same, up at 5:30 for work and in bed by 8 most evenings! I'm only 15 weeks but I felt something so unique the other day, something extremely hard with a heart beat and weird fluttering in my stomach. I'm so sure of what it was, but haven't felt it since. A tad worrying but I know I'm early so! This is my first so unsure of what most is although slightly sure of what this might be! xxx

I didn't feel things every day if say every other day I was thinking to myself 'ooh is that it' and I know from my other two pregnancies tht you spend a few weeks questioning the feeling before you confirm to yourself that it was actually the baby. Xx

Aww thanks for the reassurance! Was getting worried xx

Hi ladies, been at my parents for the weekend so trying to catch up!!

Welcome to tri 2 pink and megs, will add you both now.

Blanco - thanks for the buggy tip!! Still trying to make a decision on which one to go for but like hearing what everyone else is going for!

I'm feeling shattered and really not ready for another week in work!!

 

[3lilmonsters]

I'm going to wait until after new year for ideas on my pram as the new spring/summer collections will be coming out xx

 

[Blanco]

Good idea 3lilmonsters x

 

[Pixel]

I'm hoping to get a chunk of stuff in the Christmas/January sales

 

[3lilmonsters]

Yes I thought that too. I don't mind getting bargains on items but prams are so expensive that I thought I'd wait and at least get a 'in season' model haha xx

 

[Blanco]

Stip it! Your making me feel 'so last year darling' x

 

[3lilmonsters]

Haha sorry hun the prams all stay the same just a different pattern. I like the mamas and papas whole range lol and the silver cross surf aswell as a few others xx

 

[mrs nel]

Evening all,
A lot of pram chat today! iv ordered the silver cross surf pushchair in sand!

This is a hi and bye post as im off to bed! Hope you had a nice time at your folks this weekend naomi.

Ni nite, xx

 

[Blanco]

Waiting for the sales sounds good though... Ladies silver cross range looks lovely and I do like the sand colour it's fairly new but I've seen it and like it very neutral. X

 

[Pixel]

I'm not really bothered about what season. I get much more pleasure from a good bargain

 

[Blanco]

You may get both in the sales xx

Morning

Welcome to all the new April mummies! Can't believe it's Monday again I woke up with such a sore back!

Are many of you feeling your baby move yet? I'm 17 weeks with my first and still not feeling anything yet... can't wait to feel something! Xxx

 

[3lilmonsters]

With my first hun it was around 18-19 weeks that I felt a real kick but looking back the flutters stared around 16.5 just didn't know what it was lol xx
