Which travel system Graco Evo/Oyster Max?!

im really struggling with choosing a travel system :(

I live in a small town and will probably use my car daily so would love something thats fairly light, easy to fold, has a good sized basket and is reliable...

The main contenders at the minute are the Graco Evo and the Babystyle Oyster Max..

Ive had a look at both of them in kiddicare and loved the Evo at first but have a slight issue with the carseat as when we tried this on the chassis it felt extremely wobbly so are not sure if it is all that safe, as far as i know its not compatible with the maxi cosi either.

The oyster max i love the look of but im worried its too bulky when collapsed and as its more expensive i really dont want to spend so much money on something if i wont get the moneys worth out of it!

If anyone has either of these and can give me any advice on how they have got on with them I would be extremely grateful!?

Thanks

Don't have direct experience in using them but I used to work in a pram related job so know them both well - IMO the Oyster is much better in terms of quality, durability and ease of folding, etc.
Graco products in general are very cheap and plastic-y and aren't very robust

I love my oyster, can steer with one hand and very sturdy and when collapsed fits in my tiny fiat 500 boot!

I've got the Graco Evo, haven't used it yet but it's arrived and we've assembled it and I really like it. It's so light and easy to collapse. The Graco Logica S HP seat fits it I think and this has got good reviews on Which. I haven't bought a car seat yet though. I've also seen a new one on the Mothercare website which is more expensive but is the Evo Snugsafe which has an Isofix base

I've the graco evo with the graco junior car seat but see on mothercare website for the new snugsafe car seat but not sure if it can be fixed to the buggy chassis as the junior car seat can be. The snugsafe looks bit like a maxi cosi car seat

I got the Graco Logica S HP car seat for my Evo too. Fit's way better and because it's a 0+ DD 11months still fits in it with lots of room to spare. I can't speak for the Oyster as I've never used one, but I've found the Graco Evo really good, no problems at all so far and I've really put it through its paces.

Oyster Max. I've just bought one for #2. Whatever you spend on it now you'll be able to just buy the extra seat if you have another baby unlike me who could only use her original travel system for one baby.

We have the graco evo and have had no problems with it. It's not the smartest looking pram but easy to use, durable and light. In fact a few friends with more expensive prams have commented on how light it is. Go with whatever one you prefer, it's an important (and pricey) purchase!
