A stroller at last...

Me and hubby went for stroller/car seat hunting. By the end of the week, I think we could be a qualified salesman/woman for a stroller shop. Anyway, hunting and choosing for the right stroller wasnt easy. We have actually started looking around for the right stroller for quite sometime. Our main idea was to get a Mclaren or a Graco stroller (we were more exposed on these 2 brands when were in UK). Of course I would love to have a stroller as classy as Quinny. But to my surprised, it was actually difficult to find Mclaren stroller except in Mothercare, which they dont have that much of a choice. Further, Mclaren is not really suitable for newborn baby, since the design was more towards light travelling. And Graco, the one that we found was OK, so-so but the colour and the design doesnt look appealing. We started to to hunt at Jusco, Mothercare and all other shopping mall/departmental store.

The trouble with with searching the right stroller was to have the right salesperson to give us all the info that we needed. Like me and hubby, we are very particular on the things that we buy, especially when it involves hundreds, thousands of RM. We will do some research and by the time we get to the store, we know what to ask, etc. Most of the departmental store or shops usually do not have the right salesperson and unable to provide us with the info that we needed. Until we went to Mamours, in BSC. That shop was actually recommended by my sister. Although it was out of price range, but we still went there with an open mind. We met Elsa, the salesperson who promoted us Peg-Perego and Quinny. It was actually a high-end stroller, that cost thousands, way out of our budget. And Peg-Perego has captured my attention. There were some discount if you pay by cash/CIMB credit card/RM2500 above.

So, yesterday, we have decided to finally buy or at least decide on which stroller we want. After a trip to One Utama, we decided to go to Atria. To our surprise, we met Elsa again as she was transferred there. And she did it again. She managed to convinced us to choose and buy the right stroller for our unborn child. We decided to buy the Peg Perego P3 Classico + Car Seat.

Here are some questiones that you need to answer before buying stroller;

1. Brand ? -do you really mind which brand? But brand does reflect quality, so, take it into consideration.
2. Price Range? - good brand, high price. But for middle range, graco is also a good stroller. My niece have been using Graco for quite sometime, but we bought it in the UK, where there are many choices of Graco brand.
3. Newborn / Infant ? - Would you buy another one when the baby grow up? If it's just for a short while, you dont need to spend that much.
4. Forward facing/Rear Facing? - I am quite particular on this issue. I would want my baby to look at me so that she wont feel scared or out of place.
5. Weight?
6. Basket? - this was one of my concern, and therefore I did not choose Quinny Zapp
7. Reclining position? - For quinny Zapp, no reclining position.This was the major drawback for me.
8. Car Seat attachment? - for safety reason.
9. Removable lining?
10. Folding position - sandwich or umbrella folding?

I love Peg Perego Classico cuz it is suitable from birth to any age, as long as it doesnt go above 50 kg. It also has a rear footboard, just incase if I have another children to carry, he/she can stand on it! It can also be fully reclined and what I love the most with this stroller is that the canopy can be turned back, and put into a position where the baby is rear facing, without actually moving the handle. It is not that heavy as it weigh just 8kg and it is umbrella folding. It was as if I buy a mclaren, but better functions!! Cool ey?

Of course, Peg Perego P3 isnt the most expensive range, or else I wont buy it!! I think it is a middle range cuz there's still Peg Perego Atria, with a lower price, and Peg perego Skate, with a much higher price. And I think, buying this brand in Mamours, Planet Infant is really worth your RMs. It's a once in a lifetime investment (insya Allah). For more info on Peg Perego P3, check out this link.
