The important step of picking the right pram

PRINCESS Charlotte arrived in style for her christening last Sunday, in an antique Millson Prince pram which has been in the British Royal family for generations.

The choice of Royal carriage drew many admiring comments and Silver Cross, who are the only remaining British manufacturer of these coach-built style prams, has also reported a resurgence in interest in recent times. Their hand-crafted Balmoral pram, €1,999, is available online at www.silvercross.ie.

“A Royal birth and christening will always increase attention on baby and nursery products. Recently we have seen a strong resurgence in interest in the traditional coach built style — although they have never really gone out of style. There is a general trend and fashion for all things vintage and nostalgic, and the coach-built prams fit beautifully with this,” a spokesperson for the company said.
