The usual story: first time mum, researched heavily, now 6 weeks from EDD and wracked with indecision.
We live in an inner suburb of a big northern city. Pushchair will be used (in rough order of frequency) for local walks (mostly pavements, but a fair amount of potholes and cobbles and mulchy leaves, plus a healthy bit of park/gravel/towpath - but no real off-roading); in and out of a small car (Vauxhall Corsa); tram into town; occasional train journey to see friends/family (including in London). So I want something that deals with all of that, plus is ideally parent facing, and not massive so will last through toddler years. Planning on a second child at some point but not too quickly, so buggy board a useful bonus. Car seat compatibility not that important to me. But otherwise I know I'm after the magical unicorn of prams.
The closest I've found is the Easywalker Mosey, which looks like it does a bit of everything pretty well. My reservations are that it might still be on the heavy side for long-term use. I was determined not to be one of those people who bought a massive pram then switched to a maclaren after 6 months. Am I sleep walking into being that person? But e.g. the Bee seems too flimsy and not that much smaller.
I love the idea of the Babyzen Yoyo 0+ (and would probably get it if I still lived in London) but the forward-facing non-flat seat after 6 months (or maybe sooner with a big baby) is a big compromise and I feel like we might destroy it within months of dragging it about. Plus the newborn seat looks a bit less cocoony without the top cover, which looks too warm for summer. Will I end up buying something else in July because my PFB is too exposed and/or I don't want to put him in the bigger FF seat? But I can see how brilliant it would be for 1yr onwards.
I'm think I'm about to click buy on the Mosey. Someone please tell me if I'm making an expensive error.
(FYI, "buy both" will not wash with my DH...)
