To be honest we looked at them in mamas and papas and it seemed really flimsy. Also no foot board, which when baby gets bigger would be a nightmare!!
I nannied for ten years and used loads of different buggies and prams. I found that as soon as the baby is about six months or so people often buy a lightweight buggy to take away on holiday, or keep in the boot, and never use the bigger one again.
I've got two kids and I'm going for the Maclaren LR travel system. Lovely buggy, umbrella fold, and super cool car seat. It is suitable from birth and will last all the way til baby is four, as it is well suited for larger children. I know it isn't as cute and dynamic as some of the substantial ones, but from my experience of practical use, I'm not going down that route again!
We are on holiday in Cotswolds at moment, and yesterday we went to Broadway. There was a woman in the really cute toy/baby shop with a big buggy, three wheeler, MASSIVE rear wheels, and she was taking halk the shop with her everywhere she went. She barged past me and pushed my bump into the shelf as she went

She just couldn't get round the shop.
For what it's worth my advice is to go totally practical! I've bought a really mega cute suede buggy snuggle to make my Maclaren super cosy for December.
