Cosatto Wonder Limited Edition Pram

Cosatto, a British stroller brand, has just unveiled Wonder - an exclusive, limited edition iconic pram. The Wonder is a 3-in-one travel system made to the highest standards. It's available in three color options: Bonbon, Hepburn and Kew. Only 500 units have been created in each color.

The Wonder is priced at £1500 and comes as a set with frame, carrycot, reversible pushchair seat unit, infant car seat, lined parasol, diaper bag, footmuff, mosquito net and rain cover.

When I first saw the Wonder pram, I honestly didn't know what to think. Sure it's gorgeous, but £1500 is quite hefty for something you will probably use for a few years. Ok, maybe you'll use it with a few kids. Maybe it will become a family heirloom. I suppose the limited edition factor will attract celebrities and the ultra-wealthy.

When I showed this to my husband, he told me about high school students of his who buy used sneakers for thousands of dollars because they have Michael Jordan's or some other athletes foot odor (don't ask me where high school boys get that kind of money). I suppose if imbeciles can collect sneakers, women can collect strollers. Wait, I didn't mean to sound sexist. Men can collect strollers too.

If I sound incoherent, that's because it's currently 1:00 AM. Going to bed now. I'm sure I'll be dreaming of strollers.

The Royal Pram

Grace and beauty ruled the day as the British Royal Family celebrated it's newest member's, Princess Charlotte's christening. The little Princess looked like a picture-book baby in her antique-replica ivory lace christening gown.

Of course her mother, the lovely Duchess of Cambridge was exquisite as always, wearing Alexander McQueen white coat dress and Jane Taylor fascinator hat.

Prince George looked like a little cherub. Photographers have captured a really precious moment when the soon to be 2 year old big brother, got up on tiptoes to sneak a peak at his baby sister.

Looking over the pictures I must confess, that though the Royal Family are beautiful indeed, what captivated my attention most as a strollerholic and an antiques enthusiast, was the royal PRAM.

Of course I had to know all about it, the mark, the history...

As it turns out, the gorgeous pram used to wheel Princess Charlotte to church is a family heirloom. It is a Millson Prince vintage pram which was originally used by the Queen Mother for Charles, Edward and Andrew. The giant, pram looks more like a coach and has carried regal babies to royal events for over 50 years.

Tradition means everything to royalty. Never mind that they have much better, newer, more user friendly prams noweadays. You will do it the way grandma did it, because if it was good enough for her, it's good enough for you!

Of course, I have to admit, that going by appearance alone (never mind user-friendliness), the Millson pram, just like the classic Silver Cross prams that can be purchased today, is at the height of pram-fashion. I suppose it's the most fitting for royalty after all.
