If you could choose any pram that fits these requirements what would you choose?

- Reversible seat or handle - Bassinet attachment - Decent hood coverage - Decent wheels for walking - Possibly be able to take a capsule but I will go without this if there is something great that fits the above. I have no price limit and it only needs to take 1 child from newborn as my youngest will be 3 by the time the baby arrives and I've already got a couple of doubles if I occassionally need an extra seat.

Lots of views, no suggestions? Looks like I might have to take the 3 kids along to some baby shops this week.

If you didn't need the reversible handle, I would suggest the Baby Jogger City Mini GT.

The baby jogger city select would fit your criteria. I use ours as a double so it is a bit heavier for walking (but I am pushing a 3 and 1 yr old). It has a great hood, optional bassinet and you can get a capsule to fit. It also has a huge basket underneath and folds really compactly. We bought ours from winkalotts, NZ.

If you dont need the handle i would go a baby jogger. If your on facebook add yourself to the baby jogger buy and sell. Lits of advice from owners and pram fanatics

I am glad our bassinette came free because we only used it for about two months. I do like having the baby facing me. In my mind there are two categories of prams: big roomy ones with plenty of storage - great for walks from home or going shopping when you'll have a few bags, and compact ones for going to restaurants and crowded places that have next to no storage. I have one of each category and love it.

I will have a look at the Babyjoggers thanks. I do really want the reversible handle or seat though and I know we'll definitely use the bassinet as we did with our last winter bub. little lion - I tend to always have a big and a small pram too. I've already got a couple I'm looking at for the small category already .

You should probably check out: Bugaboo Chameleon Baby Jogger City Versa (if they're out here yet) Uppa Baby Alta One of the Striders That's probably in approximately descending price order. I'd lean strongly towards the Baby Jogger.

ali-song - was just looking at the Versa but read something about a recall? If they'll be out in time I think I'll definitely get one with bassinet, even if I find something else as well. I'm starting to wish I never got rid of my Emmaljunga I got for my first baby, they don't seem to sell them anymore
