The Luna

When i decided to give my disappointing Silver Cross up i set off on gumtree and eBay to find a new pram. I wasn't sure what i was looking for but came across the Luna, i had seen a lot of people using them they looked nice and pretty there were also a lot up for auction. So a Luna it was, unfortunately the only one near me was light blue but i bid and won. For 40 quid i was very happy, the day came where i went to collect it it looked comfortable and stylish and i couldn't wait to test it out. That afternoon i took Emma out in it, she seemed to love being so upright it was very easy to push and the bar adjustment was a great help to as I'm a petite woman. Months went on and i was extremely happy with the Luna, but a couple of things were niggling in the back of my head, like shopping space with a one bar handle you couldn't put shopping there and the shopping basket wasn't the biggest. Also with the front wheels been small and very close to the buggy it was hard to get up and down curves id have to use my foot under the brake for extra help. The Luna was NEARLY the perfect pram for me, so close....

The Silvercross 3D. All it Cracked up to be?

The Century didn't cut it for me. So i decided to try something very highly recommended and popular. The Silver Cross 3D, with the big price tag i had to go 2nd hand and was lucky enough to come across a beautiful practically brand new Silver Cross in Cargo.

The pram was beautifully made, comfortable and fairly easy to manoeuvre. The only problem i encountered with it at first was the terrible effort to fix it all together before going on an outing, but nevertheless i was very happy with it. All the recommendations seemed to be spot on. As my beautiful daughter grew she was more alert i decided to change the Silver Cross from a Pram to a Pushchair. This was a terrible terrible mistake. The pushchair wasn't as pretty, and was a lot harder to push, it didn't feel as sturdy as the Pram and i had a lot of trouble with it in the snow. Therefore the Silver Cross 3D got the untimely chop.

Is Cheap Really Cheerful?

The first travel system i had for my daughter was the Century from Argos. The pram comes in colours pink and blue. As soon as the sonographer told me that i was expecting a girl i went pink mad. And as soon as i flicked through the Argos catologue and saw the PINK travel system with the small price i was overwhelmed and immediately invested.
The first thing i used from the Travel system was the carseat to take my daughter home in. The texture was hardly the comfiest but it did the job perfectly, she was well secured and it was easy to fit into the car.
A few days after i got out of hospital i decided to show Emma off so i fixed the pram together. I was surprised and how heavy such a small stroller was. It was bulky and hard to put up/down. I had to use both hands to put it together.
That wasnt the only problem i faced with the Century. In the space of a week the front wheels fell off three times and it was far to heavy for me to lift up and down curbs.
Emma used this pram a total of 7 times and that was quite enough.
In the case of the Century Travel System Cheap is not always Cheerful.
