<font face="tahoma"> elchwong,
yeah i was very confused last time too... dont know what to chose.

aprica is very lightweight, but very very exp. initially i like combi ones, but realised it's too compact and small... baby will outgrown very fast hence no point buying it.

maclaren is not bad too... forget why i didnt chose it. i think am looking for 1 where the back can reclined all the way to flat, else not suitable when baby's neck is still not strong enough. not sure if maclaren has such features. </font>

I always go to the one at marina square. More bb stuffs there.

 

[tracee]

any comments on the 3 wheeled stroller?

 

[monyetnakal]

Saw at Robinson last week, the Pigeon sterilizer is at $118 plus 20% discount. I do not know when the discount until. Tempted to buy, but i think still abit too early to buy, so will wait until GSS, may have better deal.

 

[monyetnakal]

For stroller, we like the maclaren techno XT, can reaclined until flat coz this model suitable for new born. we like combi miracle turn also.. have not really see capella or other brand.

Do you think how much we should spend for stroller? the maclaren techno XT 2008 is at $568 (baby hyperstore)and combi miracle turn is at $498 (baby kingdom). We think both is exp, so may see other cheaper choices.

Forest, mousebb, ic Msq has more bb stuff, thanks. Will check it out next sale

Monyetnakal, yah wait for better deal since there's still ample time.

We like the combi miracle turn too, really light

but a little ex hor.

 

[matsu]

Trace, i personally don't like those with 3 wheels. I think it's diff to move ard coz it's long.

 

[joycelsm]

My Goodness, I didn't know stroller itself can cost a bomb!! Looks like I have to save more from now to meet all the additional expenses required...

My dream to be SAHM destroyed just by looking at all the prices for merchandise at shopping centre..

 

[bbgoh]

yah stroller really can cost a bomb, so must get a practical &amp; can use long long one..
really must consider a lot of thg huh, i only noe i prefer reversible, easy to keep, light, i dunno abt the reaclined thg le.. so for new born must set really flat huh

 

[forest]

Monyetnakal,
i personally think its better to buy from the bigger dept stores when there's sales... baby kingdom, hyperstore have the same retail price, but no discounts...

TraCe,
i also dislike 3wheels - same reasons as JJmom...

Joyful, bbgoh,
hehehe.. at first, when i started looking at strollers.. was really shocked when i saw those VERY expensive ones.. can go to $800 or $1k etc.. me n my hubby termed those as "ferrari" or "porsche" strollers.. kakaka.. cos' "babycar" so expensive lah.. hahahaha

 

[happiebear]

i just got a combi stroller during the BHG sale last week

My galfrens had advised me not to get too expensive ones as babies usually dun like to sit inside for long and they preferred to be carried

However, walkers are more important to get good ones as babies need good support and like to sit in them n 'dash' around in the house

I saw this website on combi baby products. For the strollers, it states the age range for the babies as well as the prices

Can use this as a rough guide for ur shopping

<font face="tahoma"> hi beary,
i read that it's not so advisable to let baby sit on walkers, forget why now</font>

 

[happiebear]

is it? i thought thats how they learn how to walk? Actually i am very worried if my baby sit in walker next time n dash ard, coz my house got those glass display showcase. I think I have to dismantle them when baby learns to move ard.

and oso, my house need to install window grilles once baby grows up.. aiyo headache.. money going to fly again!

 

[mspiggy]

<font face="tahoma"> they dont need walker to learn. when they are ready and strong enough, they will pull themselves up holding on to something and start to cruise.

my son doesnt have walker

</font>

 

[mspiggy]

<font face="tahoma"> hi beary,
i've found this :

My hubby also doesnt allow our son to use a walker cos was told by his friend that it is not good. My son is learning to stand up on his own now so we have just brought him a stride-to-ride walk by FisherPrice from Robinson last week. FisherPrice hardly have offer but last week when we bought the walker, there was a 20% off.

 

[matsu]

beary, i also heard abt the disadv of walker, something abt bb will tiptoe instead of really walking so it may hinder their learning of walking instead of helping...

 

[eternitystar]

</font>

 

[bbgoh]

[matsu]

[everafter]

Based on conception month in Jan'08 i hvnt turned 30 right cos its before CNY, so i thought should be 29 and not 30
