The Wheels On The Pram....

Now that Acorn is coming to stay with us in August mum and dad have been searching for a new pram. 

The current pram only fits me so we'll need one which has two seats as I'll be too small to walk around everywhere (even if mum gets an attachable 'buggy board' for me to stand on). 

Mum and dad have had a look at several types and have decided on a tandem (that's effectively one child slightly over the top of the other in a line) as a posed to a side by side.  The later version is extremely wide and cannot fit on busses nor down many isles in the supermarket.  Despite the side by side often being too wide for the London footpaths many people have them.

Dad  has now purchased a ICandy Pear (same brand as the single pram we have) as it seemed the best fit for our requirements:
- getting on/off busses,
- long walks across various terrain,
- not excessively heavy (even without two babies in), and
- can be made into a single seater (once I get insistent on walking and can have a buggy board attached for when my legs get tired).

It is heavier than the single prams but that's due to it's sturdy frame (other brands seemed less robust).  Mum and dad thought this was a plus given the potential for Acorn and me to be little terrors.

Its also harder for me to get out of (just in case I decide to go for a wonder). Some people think children letting themselves out of prams is a positive (mum's not so sure).

We are currently using the pram in it's single seating function until Acorn arrives.
