Hi everyone,
I appreciate that pushchairs and car seats are personal but I have a couple of questions that as a FTM I would appreciate any advice or opinions on.
My husband and I have narrowed down the pushchair we like to three. Going to go try them out in the flesh in a few weeks. They all come separately or in bundles with car seats. All these car seats obviously have the advantage that they fit onto the pushchair but they only are suitable up to about a year. Meaning after that we would have to get another car seat.
The maxi - Cosi car seats that seat from birth up to 3-4 years do not fit onto the pushchairs, even with adaptors. The only maxi Cosi car seats that fit the pushchairs are only suitable for 12-18 months. Which again means re purchasing later on.
My question is how useful is a car seat that clips in the pushchair? I have read that babies should not be car seats for too long so am wondering if it’s a deal breaker. Or if people have found them incredible useful maybe it is worth going for the pushchair car seat bundle.
So I guess simplified I am asking do I get a pushchair compatible one for now and repurchase car seat in a year or get a car seat that is suitable for a longer period of time?
Opions and lived experiences all welcome!
Thanks
