Who We Are

AnnabelBlanche is your pre and post natal best friend. We aim to give advice, support and well informed information from the best pram for your lifestyle or situation (twins? living on the 5th floor?) to the best winding positions and the nappy brands that don't suffice.

Babies are expensive little bundles, we want to help you to buy the right product first time round.

We want to stop new parents from wondering where to get practical advice and show them.

BugaBOOM

We are AnnabelBlanche and what better way to debut our baby blog than by celebrating the fantastic news that following the Bugaboo Bee in April last year, (the ultra light city pram), Bugaboo are bringing out another brilliant idea this April.

The Bugaboo Donkey, following on the animal theme, is indeed a pack horse. Designed to turn from a mono to a duo and back to a mono at the click of button (apparently); it is the Bugaboo lovers answer to the dilemma of having more than one child or loads of shopping.

I am excited about this pushchair- not for the "extra storage" that it is being hailed for, but for the twin mums and dads out there who are saddened by the lack of choice in twin city pushchairs. icandy offer a good luxury solution for newborn twins with the Peach Blossom, the car seat and carry cot options are fantastic (the pushchair being almost no bigger than a single AND converting easily to a single so you don't have an empty seat when you go out with only one of the babies) BUT once you progress onto the seat fixtures, one baby gets demoted to the back seat and you find yourself choosing which baby will be squished underneath and which will have the room with a view on top.

The narrowest luxury twin pushchair at 74cm the Donkey is the city pushchair that the market has been crying out for (and Bugaboo would argue that the wheels are big enough to make it a cross country competitor just as successfully).

At £1219 in twin configuration it is not exactly a steal and is more expensive than its competitors but as Bugaboo claim you shouldn't ever need another pushchair- just turn it from mono to duo as you require and if it is as light as it should be (judging by Bugaboos other buggies) it will change the way twin mums travel.

Bugaboom Bugaboo, strap us in, we love it.
