Help in choosing between travel systems

5 replies

FellowMellow · 17/03/2024 20:06

Hi,

I am trying to choose between the several travel systems available in the market and I am really confused. I have a budget of 350 pounds and I am looking for a 3-in-1 travel system that will come with a carrycot, pushchair and a car seat all together (so that I dont need to buy these separately). Any suggestions on good brands / models with these criteria will be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Have you measured your boot?
(If you drive) as I found I had a small car and a lot of them didn't fit

Do you like waking in the woods or outdoorsy?
Or are you more town / public transport

Will you be carrying it up & downstairs into a flat?

Thanks @dinosaurs4u for your relevant questions and here are my responses:

  1. I dont need to drive a lot, so any size should be okay
  2. Like walking around however we live in London, so mostly dependent on public transport
  3. While travelling on Tfl, carrying it up and down the escalators will be necessary. So would prefer something within 6 to 8 kilos.

Most important thing is the car seat make sure it's to a high standard and has good support for a newborn there is a very good Facebook group with lots of information it's called car seat safety Uk I've learnt a lot from it in a small space of time, not all car seats are the same.

Agree with coment about car seats. Lots that come in set aren't very supportive for baby. Also regarding getting round on public transport have you thought about sling / baby wearing. Try baby wearing uk on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/392468534286432/

I have a Joie versatrax which came with an I snug car seat which works well for me with similar requirements although not London
I also recommend a sling, I had an ergobaby embrace but now have a Tula explore as I'd still like a carrier past the weight limit on the ergobaby
