I'm due to have IVF (now delayed) but to keep me sane, and keep hopeful, I have started to look at baby-related things.
What.A.Minefield.
I was looking at prams and I have tried the Bumbleride Era which completely suits my needs for being off roady, comfortable and big. One of the things I liked about it is that it's parent facing and you don't need to have the bassinet from birth.
I was then looking for something to use in airports, layovers and connections to and from the airport and I came across a few options. However, all of them state you need the bassinet attachment from birth which completely defeats the purpose as you cannot take the bassinet in the cabin.
Is there a reason why I cannot use the Bumbleride Infant insert this product in another near lie-flat pram to make it safe for a newborn?
I am not sure if the bassinet options are a money making option, or if there is a real safety element to using those above an infant insert in a Cabin-allowed pram?
I did go to a major retailer between lockdown 1 and 2 and try out a few options - they were very insistent that the way to go was to get a mountain buggy and bugaboo combination, or straight bugaboo combinations, but with all the bassinets, attachments, accessories, it came out very expensive.
I have ages to keep looking but I just cannot understand if I am missing something with the bassinet and insert bit at this stage (this is a really steep learning curve!)
