Completely clueless

Things are ticking along nicely and then friends of ours who are also expecting, invited us to a Mothercare event. Ohhh doesn’t that sound lovely, we naively thought. It’s too early to buy anything, we foolishly said. We’ll just have a look, we smiled at each other.

And then we went. Nearly £600 lighter because it was such a ‘bargain’ . . .
 
Suddenly, we found ourselves stood in front of a sales person spouting words like “ISO fix, Base, Travel system, ECE R44, Connection points, Safety regulation-compliant, and Rearward facing.” Can’t we just have the one with the cute Elephants on I found myself thinking. Who knew there was so much to know about Prams and Car seats?!?

Proudly we stood in front of our Silver Cross Wayfarer Combination Pram and Pushchair System, Car seat and Isofix Base feeling quite pleased with ourselves and a little less out of the parenting loop! Probably should try and get the thing in the car before we get too smug!

“You’ve put it where!!” my mother screamed. Who knew that you weren’t allowed prams in the house until the baby arrives?!? We really are complete clueless.

  1. Aha that old wives tale! Pram looks fab - it really us like another language though isn't it when you're looking at them!!

  2. Have never heard that you shouldn't have prams in the house but love the look of your one - what a lovely colour it is :-)
