Your Guide To The Top 5 Prams and Pushchairs Used By Celebrities

By Daria Jahnson

The paparazzi often take photos of famous celebrities when they are out and about with their infants and toddlers. The celebrities usually look very unhappy because they don't look as glamorous as they usually do, and they know that these shots will be sent around the world. It's not very nice having your children photographed without your permission also. The pushchairs and prams in these photos, however, usually always get great exposure.

Once the magazines hit the news stands, and people start talking about the pushchairs in the photos, that's when the buzz starts to happen. The manufacturers of these pushchairs and prams absolutely love it when these photographs get taken because it is free publicity for them. You can find below my selections for the top 5 prams and pushchairs used by celebrities.

1. Stokke Xplory - People turn and look at this particular pushchair when it goes by. The distinctive design makes it really stand out. The pram portion is a lot higher than normal and allows baby to have closer eye contact with the parent. The same goes for the pushchair - the child is seated higher than a normal pushchair and can be placed facing forward or backward.

2. Bugaboo Bee - This pushchair is bright yellow, hence the Bee name. It is a stylish little pushchair that is very manoeuvrable. It is owned by famous people such as Jennifer Garner, Tobey Maguire and Lisa Bonet. It is fantastic for using in shopping aisles or around the city.

3. Silver Cross Balmoral Pram - this is a very high class, old-style pram that is very popular with superstars like Charlotte Church, Jessica Alba, Helena Bonham Carter and Jennifer Lopez. In fact, Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony were recently reported as suing the Silver Cross company for using a photograph of them for commercial purposes without their permission. The lawsuit is reported to be for US$5million.

4.Phil and Teds Sport Buggy - Phil and Teds is a well know brand that is used by actress Gwenyth Paltrow and entertainer Madonna. This 3 wheeler buggy is very durable and can be used in the countryside as well as in the city.

5. Silver Cross Dazzle - The Dazzle is owned by celebrities like Katie Price, Cate Blanchett, and Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives. The stroller is ultra lightweight and comes in a variety of colours. Although it has a modern-type look and feel, this doesn't compromise on the strollers comfort at all.

The top 5 celebrity prams and pushchairs above is only my personal opinion and you may or may not agree with them. However if you want to find any of these, you can look in your local high street retailer.
