Prams, strollers & running prams |

My wife is a gear freak so once she fell pregnant the interest in kit turned from triathlon gear to prams. Carolyn conducted serious research in prams and she ended up purchasing 3 prams. Yes for one child all in the first 5 months of Mac's life!!!
One was
realitvely cheap and worked really well early due to the fact the car capsule clicks straight in to the pram reducing the chance of Mac waking up after falling asleep in the car. Great for shopping expeditions!!!
Now the next was specially imported from Canada, a Chariot top of the line. This pram is the ultimate for sportos. It is designed for serious runners and has the adaptability to become a child trailer behind a bike. It also has stroller wheels that are easy to click on or off and work well with these although not so well in confined spaces.
The last purchase again is certainly far from cheap although it is great value, the Bugaboo Frog. This pram has brillant functionality including a bassinet, connection and a stroller connection. Both are abled to be turned around i.e. to avoid sun or wind in Mac's face. The suspension and wheels are excellent.
For those who are concerned about over capitalising on prams perhaps you can direct the Purchasing Officer to EBay. We purchased the first and last pram through EBay and this reduced the hip pocket pain substantially.
