I am 28 wks pregnant and we have had an initial trip out to look at prams. It seems a minefield. Does anyone have experience with the Nuna Mixx Travel system and would they recommend? We are open to any suggestions for alternatives too. I plan on doing some walking - pavements & parks and will be using a car a bit, occasional train (but wondering whether to get a second hand stroller for this later on). I don't want anything too bulky ideally! Have heard some negatives on the Nuna Mixx Next front wheels getting clogged (John Lewis reviews, although it had glowing reviews on Which?) any advice so appreciated! Thank you!

I've also got a Nuna Mixx. Got it in 2019 (so older model), and it's now on its second child.
I love it.
Especially the huge basket which has been used for fairly large shops and the occasional stroppy toddler. The mesh bits and the pull down shade have been invaluable in the recent weather. DS has been shaded, but still has air flow. Plus it's see through enough that he can see some of the world. Everything is washable (and has been). Plus magnets don't break, so everything is securely fastened. I wil admit that the front wheels do occasionally get clogged with wet leaves in the autumn, but easy enough to declog either by forcing the wheels to turn or poking a twig in there.
The one real downside, to the model I have anyway, is the size. Even when folded. When we had a small car, it literally took up the entire boot. And we had to take the back wheels off. We have a bigger car now, but with the carrycot it still takes up a fair amount of space. I've been fortunate, and never had any problems on buses, but I wouldn't want to have to fold it up on public transport. I certainly wouldn't want to ever get on a train with it (especially with the carrycot) again.
In summary: Great if you walk everywhere, or go on a bus with buggy spaces. Less great if you need to put it on a car or train.
I'm afraid I have no other suggestions other than the Mamas & Papas Ocarro. It was our second choice when we were testing prams. It's pretty similar to the Mixx though.
