Have decided a Bugaboo Bee 5 fits our needs best. I'm reluctant to buy a bassinet as £200 seems an awful lot for something that only gets used for 6 months max. However, I like that you can use the bassinet without straps.
Any experience using a cocoon with a newborn? Are the straps a faff? Will it be warm enough to see an October born baby through winter? Can you layer blankets inside the cocoon if necessary?
I am currently undecided about the car seat (can't decide between a 0-4 year car seat, or getting a 1 year car seat which can be used on the pushchair frame). So I might be able to use both the car seat and the cocoon, or we might end up with the cocoon as the only option for transporting newborn in pushchair.
As an aside, would you recommend having the option to put the car seat on the pushchair frame? I realise the benefits of being able to move a sleeping baby. Would we regret a static car seat? I'm just worried a removable car seat would temp us to leave the baby in the car seat too long.
Finally, can anyone recommend a good place for custom Bugaboo canopies and foot muffs? Are the canopies any good or are they not a dirt/water resistant as the official ones?
Thanks!
