Pimp My Pram

Before our little one was born we went looking for the best pram for him. We read through Choice magazines tips and tests, we went to baby stuff shops and asked for expert advise, we even sat at the local Starbucks and counted the makes and models of prams that went by to see which was the favourite.

We ended buying the one that Choice gave equal first to based on their trials (the other that came first, points wise, was twice the price and has been discontinued), was the one that the baby stuff shop recommended hands down over any others and the one that we saw the most on our coffee sipping people watching. Reading this paragraph back to myself it sounds like we bought three prams!!! No just the one - that happened to come first in all three categories.

So we have the pram that is to be had! and i even went out and bought the matching seat cover that comes with three pram toys that hang from the grip tabs built into the pram canopy.

At the first mothers group meeting, half of the mothers there had the same pram that we did. Walking around the local shops i see mothers pushing the same pram that we am pushing. And the in laws that are weeks off having an offspring of their own have bought the same pram that we bought! It is a popular pram!!!

There is a range of toys that i have kind of fallen in love with and i tell my self that it is Peanuts favourite toy line but that might be because it is the toy that i shove in his face more than other toys *** shrug ***

The toy range has four characters: a frog, a duck, a caterpillar, and a turtle - and the turtle is sooooooooo cute.

So Peanut started this toy range off with a frog that is holding a plastic bar between its hands that has three plastic shapes threaded on it, kind of like a chewing thingy. The frog was given to him by friends of ours when they first met the boy. I have since bought him the turtle toy the same as the frog, a slightly larger turtle with plastic chew bits instead of flippers and a rattle in the tummy, a smaller version of the turtle that is wrapped around a clear plastic tube with little balls in it, a larger cuddly turtle soft toy version, and he even has sheets that are printed with the heads of the four character and polar fleece blanket with the turtle appliqued on it.

Now back to the topic of the pram -

Peanuts pram does not look like completely like all the other prams around, mainly because of the toys of entertainment that adorn it. I have taken the dangles that came with the seat cover and replaced them with a duck, a caterpillar and a turtle dingle dangle from the afore mentioned range. He also has three of the character tied to the front bumper (that is what the bar that babys can hang onto while in the pram is called) and the duck quacks when squeezed!

So his pram does not completely look like the other prams that get wheeled around our local, and with a set of 'spinner rims' and some 'cold cathodes' it will look really rad!
