Advice on parent and forward facing 3 wheeler travel systems

[girlfromdownsouth]

Not sure where to post this but I am going mad trying to find a 3 wheeler travel system!

My requirements are:
*Parent & Forward Facing
*Includes Carry Cot that baby can sleep in
*Decent size shopping bag
*Not too difficult to collapse
*Not too big in the boot
*Don't need to go off-road, mainly town use

Have looked online at Quinny Buzz, Mothercare MyChoice3, Jane Slalom R, Britax B Smart, Bugaboo, Baby Jogger etc. etc and now my head is spinning!

Thanks in advance.

We have an i-candy apple jogger which meets most of your requirements, although there is a knack to the fold mechanism (it's fine once you get used to it) and it is quite big in the boot (at about 7 months I swapped to a Maclaren for taking in the car if we didn't need an off-roader). I really like it though, ours has been great and has had 2.5 years of heavy use.

Hi
I have the Jane Slalom R, more because I have a dog and intend to take her on some nice country walks. I also liked the big storage thing on the bottom and the fact the carry cot (which you can get a separate mattress for overnight sleeping) can be used in the car as a lie down car seat - effectively having a three in one system in two parts. Only downside it that it doesn't have an isofix base.

One thing to bear in mind - the car seats tend to go up to nine months, then you have to buy another one. If your using isofix, this may mean a completely new isofix base, as well as a new car seat! I personally decided, to go for a recarro car seat, which uses the same isofix for most of its car seats, especially as your not meant to let baby stay in the car seat for more than 20 minutes or something (dont quote me exactly [hides in the corner]. I also figured it wont do the baby harm to be moved when asleep so they get used to it. I think maxi cosi may have some transferable bases - but you would need to check this out.

Totally agree with your head spinning though! Good luck
