我们家用的PRAM是JANES的，三轮的，感觉车体特宽，宝宝躺在里面非常舒服，从Babyco买的，花了249.99. CAR SEAT 是从Toys'R'Us买的，牌子是“GO SAFE”的，也很好，LZ可去看下！

我自己先买了MCLAREN 的PRAM，因为听朋友说三抡PRAM很重，生完孩子搬这个很伤腰。后来发现还是大的PRAM 实用。特别是自己出去没老公在旁边，要背很多东西，最近又买了个SWALLOW的BEEMA PRAM，该款式是妈妈杂志推荐的。TOP TEN BRAND。在BABYCO 有，大约400刀。EBAY有时有二手的卖。

Car seat: Safe n sound Meridain manual (safest car seat in the market, from new born to 18kg, about $400)
3 Wheel Pram: Swallow Beema Q (Choice's magazine recommend), Moutain buggy (Best single pram, above $700), Phil & Teds Sport (If you plan to have two kids, above $600).

谢谢楼上的几位啦!

我和老公看了几款THREE WHEELED的,感觉很好,但真的好大好重.不知道用起来方便不?而且我们倾向于买个把手可以前后调换的,很多THREE WHEELED的不具备这种功能.

公子小白

3  wheel的把手不可能前后调换的,因为结构的限制.你买的时候要注意PRAM收放是不是方便,能不能放进车后箱,重量最好不要超过12KG.

一般说来，三轮的好推，但折起来占地方，也比较重，四轮的不如三轮的推起来方便，但折起来后体积还是小点。据说三轮的要打气是吗？

谢谢各位了. 看来周末要开始做市场调研了.呵...

周末和老公在BABYCO买了款SWALLOW APOLLO的四轮PRAM,原价$339,现价$219.95.感觉很不错.以下是某个论坛对该款PRAM的评论,可以参考一下:

另外,TOYS R US这周末也有款LOVE N CARE的三轮PRAM在促销.价钱很优惠,而且附送BASSINET N TODDLER SEAT.整个PACK也就$339左右.很实惠的样子.

至于CAR SEAT,我们上周末在TOYS R U 买了SAFE N SOUND的一款,原价$239,现价$169.BABY KINGOM也有类似的促销价.

有需要JMS可以去看看.

Has anyone purchased the Swallow Apollo Pram and if so, did you like or dislike? I am finding it difficult to find a reliable 4 wheel pram that I like. I was keen on the Steelcraft Acclaim but have read very poor reviews.

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards,
Ruth

Hi,
I have one and the things I like about it are:

The large basket underneath is easy to use
Reversible handle
Not too heavy (11kg) for lifting in and out of the car.
Comes with sunshade and foot muff
I can open it and close it one-handed
Automatic folding lock
The price - $229 (approx 20 months ago)
It was Choice's number one pick for safety etc
Even after 18 months of regular use it is still in excellent condtion. No signs of wearing/ tearing.

Thing I didn't like:
They only had one colour (grey/black) when I bought mine - but not overly important in the grand scheme of things.

HTH

Thanks Littlered

Overall, I do like mine for many reasons - decent sized basket,window thing on top of hood so you can check on baby, detachable boot cover, not too heavy, design (mine is blue/maroon with puppies on it).

However, there are negatives -
:it often jams up when I try to fold it down,
:if I use the reversible handle feature, I actually find it harder to push,
:you often have to lift up main part of pram (where baby is) to access basket,
:it only goes in two positions - baby lying flat, or baby sitting upright - there's no in-between position.
: you can't attach a toddler seat to it

Just so you know... a tip I got on this site when I bought my Apollo
At the top of the seat is a flap of material (sort of double thickness) if you fold this flap, back over the seat, it will hold the seat in a semi reclined position. I used this for DS when he was 'neither up nor down!!' and it never fell out of position or anything, so its sturdy enough.
I hope you can make sense of what I'm saying!

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for the tip. I just fiddled around with the pram then and worked out what you were saying. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
