Spend most of the day in the centre of town yesterday. A few things hit me.
1. There are prams everywhere!
2. Everybody has the same brand of pram!
Fascinated by the fact that every second person with a pram, that I met, had this brand of pram in particular, I went online when I got home, to find out what so special about this pram. The brand is called Bugaboo.
Couldn't really figure it out, more than the fact that it was 5000 SEK more expensive than my second hand pram of a brand that not many people have heard of.
Does me, not having a Bugaboo, make me a worse mum than the ones that has got one? I seriously doubt it.
If people buy this Bugaboo pram because it, even though it is much more expensive than my pram, is a good pram that is cheaper than many other prams, than fine. But I am suspecting that that is not the reason.
The main reason is probably trends and commercialism, as I am sure you agree.
Sad.
