NUVO Pram

Hey OP, I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’m glad you’re all ok! I can’t answer your question re: 3 year olds not running, but I am a mum of 2 y.o. Twins and have tried every configuration of pram for two that there is. My main pram is my redsbaby Nuvo. It’s an inline pram, and the best thing about is that you can have two full size seats, so the average toddler won’t grow out of it in a hurry. You can also have bassinet + toddler seat, which I imagine would be great when baby is first born. My favourite thing about it is the basket space, it’s massive, even more so when there’s just one seat on (which is another advantage of the inline, you can convert it to just single use when toddle outgrows needing a pram). Cons are that it can be heavy when fully loaded with kids + misc stuff, and that the seats can’t recline when both are world facing. Neither is a major issue for me. I also have a side by side pram, a second hand valco snap duo. Pros are that it’s lighter to push as the weight is more evenly distributed, and the seats recline all the way back. Cons are that it’s bulky, basket space sucks, and I can’t use it for the rare occasion when I just have one kid. Another good side by side I see recommended is the Babybee Luna. A lot of twin parents start out with a donkey and move to one of the two I’ve referenced due to the sheer size and inconvenience of having to dismantle it to fold it. Your third option is getting any pram you like and sticking a toddler board seat thing on it. Both of mine have tried them out on my sister’s pram, and it is a good option for when they’re old enough to walk but sometimes get tired or you need to get somewhere in a hurry.

Oh and I forgot to add, the nuvo uses the same seat fabric for the bassinet and full size seat, which is super convenient

We have the nuvo and the basket size is great, can fit heaps of stuff in there. If you lie the seat flat then yeah the legs are at an angle rather than flat. Hasn’t caused us any problems though, bub happily sleeps in there with it flat and his legs up a bit. We haven’t had any issues with it generally, quality is really good. Would happily buy from them again

So we spent a lot of time trying different prams to see what we liked. We ended up trying the redsbaby Nuvo at the Sydney baby expo and loved it. We have been so happy with it! What pram and version do you have? Redsbaby Nuvo How old is it? (New or secondhand?) we bought brand new using the code at the expo which gifted an accessories bundle for free. We purchased it around 1 year ago. What are the pros and cons so far? Pros - the frame is so much lighter compared to other similar prams. That was a big thing for us as I have back issues. It’s easy to put up and down. It fits into my little Mazda 2 boot. The capsule that you can get from redsbaby (britax b-pod) has been amazing! My bub is 10 months and we still use it. The basket is huge and we can do a grocery shop and not need a trolley. Cons - it’s really hard to think of a con, but we didn’t get much use out of the bassinet. It was a bit of a pain trying to fit it into my car. It sat in the front seat on an angle. Anything useful that surprised you? Love the basket and how much it holds. I also find that redsbaby have put a lot of effort into the finishes of the pram. It just looks really nice. Any kind of trouble or problem you ran into that did your head in? We have had no issues at all with the pram. One thing I can see though is that the buckle for the seat is a bit unusual and can be frustrating if you’ve never been shown how to use it. When you clip the buckle in you put it in the click it back so it locks. how comfortable is it for you and the kid(s)? Bub loves the pram. I love how smooth it moves and its turn circle when using it. If you changed prams or upgraded, what did you change to and how is that so far? (Definitely welcomed to tell me about your old one too though) I don’t think we would change anything. I have heard that it’s not as great when in tandem use with two bubs…. But we aren’t at that point yet 😂

RedsBaby Nuvo. I did a lot of research and it ticked all our boxes. They’ve come out with a newer model, Nuvo 2, so you can get the old model at a discount. Or the newer one has improve features. Up to 3 children can use it at once with the skateboard feature.

Probably need to know what kind of car you drive, or at least the size. FWIW, I was able to do costco runs with a regular pram in the boot (Redsbaby Nuvo) when my son was younger and I drive a compact Prius. Toilet paper and nappies in the backseat, heavy stuff on the floor in the back, rest of the stuff packed around the pram in the boot. It was jammed in there but it worked! You can go to baby bunting and see how the prams fit in your boot. We found going to a baby expo really helpful since it seems like a lot of prams are only sold online- it gave us a chance to try them out and see what worked for us.
