Good morning Ladies

Expectant Dad here with baby due in 7 weeks,

So me and the mrs initially like the Oyster 3 system. Looked smart and reviews in terms of practicality looked good.

Anywho, from reading the safety report on the car seat it doesn't look suitable at all. The video on here is shocking.

www.which.co.uk/news/2019/04/safety-alert-babystyle-oyster-carapace-baby-car-seat-with-duofix-i-size-base-named-which-dont-buy/

So i started looking, looked on the review page on this site but honestly i am losing my mind trying to find one.

Mrs wants one that obviously looks nice but also practical, easy to use and safe. As a bloke i just want one that works and does the job and makes her happy.

Do any of you wonderful ladies (& dadsnet gents) have any tips or recommendations?

We are off to the baby show at the NEC in a few weeks but i didn't want to spend all day testing and being sold at at every concession just for a pushchair.

all comments welcome

Thank you :)

Cosatto Giggle 2. Leaf pattern pretty cute but the main selling point for me was the easy adjusting handle. My husband is taller then me so a simple push button & pull system makes switching the pushchair between ourselves a lot easier. We got the travel system as Mothercare had a promotion on at the time where the car seat came free with the pram/pushchair. We then brought the adapters to fit the car seat to the pram.

We found a large reversible car seat that stayed in the car was easier and lasted until 4 years old. For a pushchair consider weight, how easy and small it folds etc - I used my reclining umbrella buggy (£15) for more than my £500 pushchair
