Which pram has the best carrycot?

I'm looking for a pram that has a good sized, quality carrycot.

We will be using it as a day bed and overnight when we go for weekends away.

Any recommendations?

Well people either love them or hate them but I loved our bugaboo carry cot. Dd3 slept in it in our room for months after she turned out to hate the Moses basket her sister had loved.......Hmm

We had an urbo for use at grandparents house and the carrycot was great, it was padded and large. Check that it's suitable for over night sleeping though as not all of them are.

The iCandy Peach ones are terrible, don't get one of those.

Uppababy vista is very very roomy and the mattress is safe for overnight sleeping. DD slept in hers at night until nearly 5 months old

I found our Bugaboo carrycot was by far the biggest compared to friends travel systems. Both mine used it for six months (and could easily have gone longer except I was impatient to let them see the world!).

My friend had a bugaboo and it looked really nice and deep.

Uppababy vista. Very good size, and suitable for overnight sleeping. DD was in hers till 6 months.

Bugaboo cameleon. Used with all 3 DS. Loads of room and they still fitted comfortably at 6 months.

Oh that's funny I was going to say not the Uppababy Vista it's very short.

Bugaboo Buffalo is massive!

Another vote for Uppababy Vista - it's not the longest but you don't need tonnes of leeway at their head/feet (as long as they aren't actually touching both ends!) so they are fine in it longer than you'd imagine

We have the Uppababy Vista and both mine have used it for overnight sleeping, but only til about 5 months. Both were big, long babies who out grew it before the 6 months.

Uppababy Vista.

I remember when we bought it the saleswoman undid the Vista carrycot and the bugaboo ones to show us the materials inside. The Vista is most definitely better quality and more luxurious.

Does anyone know of the bugaboo buffalo is approved for overnight sleeping?
I thought I had checked this out when I bought it - but now I can't find anything to say so I'm doubting myself.

Emmaljunga edge, very roomy and also designed to be safe for overnight sleeping, made to exceptionally high standards and designed to last. I love mine and it still looks immaculate and it's being used second time round.

Drink I don't think it is. Although I wouldn't let that sway you one way or the other really!

Thanks lucky. I've now found several places saying it isnt. It must have been the vista I'm getting confused with. We couldn't decide between the two.
I will just take a travel cot with us when we stay elsewhere. I'm not sure it's worth taking the risk for one extra trip to the car.

Afreshstartplease did you take out the newborn insert? It's pretty big once that comes out - you just put an ordinary Moses basket mattress in it?

I did try that although I'm pretty sure it's not in the instructions however it really only buys you a couple of cm in length

I previously had a m+p zoom which had a much bigger carrycot

Uppababy vista though both of mine were too big after 4-ish months.
