I do and I love it. My DD is only 14 weeks so it hasnt been used for too long yet. I have the carry cot and the car seat as well.
Things I love about it:

• its easy to fold
  
• its lightweight compared to many other prams
  
• it fits in small boots
  
• it folds really easily and the carrycot and car seat clip on and off easily
  
• its really easy to manoeuvre - wheels can be locked or on swivel
  
• you can customise it - we didnt know what sex we were having some got it all in black and once our daughter was born we bought the purple insert for the stroller to make it look more girly
  

The only down side is that the carrycot is not as large as some of the others so may not last as long if you have a long/big baby

Hope that helps

I have it and love it too. I only got it when DD was 3 months so went straight to the seat unit. The shop I got it from said it was only suitable from 6 months but I found that's only because it doesn't lie completely flat and the distance between the harness at the top and bottom is quite long (using the footmuff liner ontop of the normal liner solved that problem for the first few weeks.

The only couple of negative points are that you can't fold it with one hand, and I don't actually find it that small when folded. My mum has a peugeot 307 and I have to separate the seat unit from the chassis to put it in her car.

I have no other issue with it at all, I love it. Even my DP loves it and he can find fault in anything grumpy old git !

I have used the oyster since my dd2's birth 10 months ago.
I absolutely love it!

She was in the carrycot mostly for the first 5 months (occassionally from 4 months went in the pushchair part- which says it is from 6months but lies back just as much as some pushchairs apparantly from birth!)

She is now obviously in the seat unit all the time. she loves it as it sits up properly, but also lies down enough for her to have a good sleep in.

The basket is a really good size.

It is easy to fold, great to push and has the excellent features of adjustable handle length and reversible seat unit
