After watching it, MIL said, "It's good enough ... maybe." </p> <p>=_= Whatever, we still love it. My bad, I shouldn't have shown it. At least my Mom thinks it's pretty ^_^! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-90153 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 05:42:37 +0000 SugarplumsMom 90153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ardently: I LOVE IT! I can't believe we paid so little for it! It totally fits all our needs and more cushiony than some of the more expensive prams we were looking at. Everything comes off and it's so easy to put back on, for instance all of the fabric can be easily cleaned! The bed for the pram part isn't as thin as I thought - it's actually normal. Even the handles are a perfect height. I can't fault it! I expect it to last because all the Swedish bloggers have been using it for awhile and theirs are still going strong.</p> <p>Definitely our best purchase so far! And it's really pretty. You'd think we paid a ton more than we did! I can't imagine buying a more expensive designer stroller when this one has all we need for 1/5 of the price.</p> <p>Love, love, love it!</p> <p>@Looch We already put the handmuff on! DH loves it as well =D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-88918 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 06:33:08 +0000 looch 88918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll love the handmuff! I have one too, so awesome when you're in and out on public transportation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-88915 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 06:00:35 +0000 Ardently 88915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! So glad you got it. I was reading the top and I was about to say "go for it!" and then I saw that you did. Let us know how you like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-88911 Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:29:24 +0000 SugarplumsMom 88911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, it's here! It's here! It came quick! I have to wait until my husband comes home before I can see it out of the box but it's here! Woohoo! </p> <p>Oh, and I love the handmuffs! It's like a long furry sleeve that goes around the handles. So glad I got them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-87666 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:07:17 +0000 SugarplumsMom 87666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: It's great! I just discovered the other shipping options myself. When I first arrived in 2009, Amazon UK didn't even ship to Sweden and just last year they added the free shipping option! It's made things sooooooooooo much easier! That and Google Translate!</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: Thanks! I can not wait until we get it! I've read that the bottom padding isn't so thick, but I was planning on adding some extra coziness in there anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-87646 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:53:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 87646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is a pretty stroller. Reminds me of our Britax B-Ready. We have the same pivot style handle bar and we actually really like it. Works great for changing heights for us. You would be surprised how much "taller" it seems just by pivoting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-87553 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:34:33 +0000 Mrsbells 87553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we bought ours somewhere at end of the 2nd trimester and early 3rd trimester. We bought it mainly because it came in a set with the car seat and thats something we had to have before the birth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-87547 Tue, 06 Mar 2012 13:31:50 +0000 tequiero21 87547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we recently bought the stroller - while i was in my 3rd trimester. we definitely need it because it carries the car seats and we're not sure when the babies will make their appearance, so.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86776 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:50:17 +0000 looch 86776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for getting it! I love how in Europe we all tend to buy from other countries to take advantage of better prices, it's crazy, right?</p> <p>You can buy the rain and mosquito nets separately...I did that for the mosquito net and got a big one that I can also use to cover a play yard. So glad I did that!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86773 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 02:17:12 +0000 SugarplumsMom 86773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all your replies, you made me feel so much better! DH went to bed before I was sure about it, color and all (although he did say he liked it).</p> <p>It has what we need: </p> <p>Pros:<br /> + folds up small (we don't have to buy a station wagon)<br /> + the carriage can face forward or backward<br /> + 5 point seatbelt<br /> + good maneuverability (according to local blog reviews)<br /> + it converts, plus an option to attach the carseat to it<br /> + price plus 40% off</p> <p>Cons:<br /> - the front wheels are small (we can't take it through a field of snow - but we don't do that anyway) snowy sidewalks would be just fine<br /> - handles don't really adjust to different heights (only pivots)<br /> - no mosquito net<br /> - no rain cover<br /> - color isn't practical (but I actually really like it)</p> <p>It took a lot of will power to not buy it in the middle of the night! There was only 3 more left! As soon as DH woke-up, I got an official OK - I snatched it up! I got it cheaper than I would have for the black one they sold here on super sale. I ended up getting it on Amazon Germany (better shipping option than the other sites).</p> <p>Oooh and I added <a href="http://www.hoco.at/muff/">handmuffs</a> with it too =)</p> <p>Here's the stroller (in German):<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow5sCmiaslw" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow5sCmiaslw</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86672 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:58:50 +0000 shellio 86672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought ours in 3rd trimester, it was marked down by $100 randomly on amazon one day so I just went for it. Glad I did, because the next day it was back up! I say get it!</p> <p>Do you live in Sweden? I studied abroad in Karlstad, Sweden for 6 months during college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86659 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:22:53 +0000 cupcakemama 86659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about 5 months along. It was a convenient time for us to go looking and buy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86656 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 18:59:13 +0000 heffalump 86656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one for a shower gift, so it was during my 3rd trimester. But I don't think it's too soon for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86630 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:58:34 +0000 pastemoo 86630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: Oh, e-bay! I haven't even looked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86622 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:18:46 +0000 betsyboop 86622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's too soon to buy. The stroller was actually our first baby purchase early on in the 2nd trimester...I had done research on which stroller we'd be getting in hopes of monitoring prices and buying it closer to my due date, but a few days after we decided, I found one for brand new on ebay for a great price! We put it downstairs in storage and don't plan on opening it until May, when the LO is expected to arrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86618 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:46:23 +0000 pastemoo 86618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't bought it yet (29 weeks), but we will before baby is born--well unless he's suddenly born early (eek). My SIL got hers at 20 weeks, I think. Buy it now. I almost missed a HUGE sale on my crib because I wanted to wait longer. Lucky for me it went on sale again.<br /> Next thing I want that goes on sale--I'm going for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86612 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 16:03:18 +0000 aunt pol 86612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its the right one for you, go for it. We got ours at I think 22 weeks- right buggy, right price! There's so much to do after they are here that you might as well get as much done beforehand as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86610 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:52:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 86610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should also add that it's common to take a newborn out on a stroll pretty much as soon as you get home here. The crown princess of Sweden just had a baby girl and already released pictures of them walking around in a pram at 5 days old.</p> <p>We're expecting a summer baby so hubby's really excited to take the LO out for a walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-buy-a-strollerpram#post-86609 Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:43:47 +0000 SugarplumsMom 86609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been researching prams on and off for awhile now and just feel overwhelmed by the selection. We've even gone a few times to test them out at the stores but I still can't figure out why some are cheaper - they all seem really similar to me! </p> <p>I found one that I like that's from a lesser known Austrian brand, yet all the reviews say it's comparable to the 4x more expensive well-known brands. It's not a new company either, it's an old established company, just lesser known internationally.</p> <p>Well it seems the model we've been looking into has been discontinued - they only have a few colors left. It's also 40% off right now. I'm seriously on the verge of just buying the thing so I don't have to worry about it any longer.</p> <p>But I'm still a few weeks until my 3rd trimester! I'm only 23 weeks along. Is it too soon to buy? I know viability isn't for another few weeks (and I don't even wanna think about it) but regardless, we intend to have children no matter what, it won't be unused.</p> <p>BTW, we wanted a black one from a local store, but we waited too long and they're sold out. So now we're looking at the cream colored one (it's pretty, but it'll get dirty). </p>
