How many wheels?

Anna & I attended the seventh (and final) of our ante-natal classes last night, and once again the information provided was really useful as the discussion was centred around what things you should/should not buy for the baby. All progressed smoothly until the subject of prams/strollers got mentioned, at which point the woman leading the class made the mistake of referring to accessory prams as she termed them. What she meant by this was that, at least here in Sydney, you see quite a lot of rather trendy-looking three-wheel joggers, and some even more
bizarre-looking four-wheel prams - her point was that there are a pretty standard list of actual requirements for a pram, and that simple four-wheeled prams typically offer the best combination of convenience, practicality and safety. A somewhat heated debate ensued, as those people that had already bought an accessory pram justified their purchase! The item that she rated most highly of all, however, was the Baby Bjorn carrier that she said was a real god-send, especially when travelling. So, I think we'll definitely be investing in one of these for when we visit the UK next year. Earlier in the day, we also got the chance to have afternoon tea with Helen's mum, Sheila, who is currently towards the end of her tour around New Zealand & Australia. It was nice to catch up with her for an hour or so before our class, and ask her to pass on our best wishes to the Barber & Kirk families. Chris
