Just want to find what people have chosen, or what they think are good ones i like the SilverCross Wayfarer Pram System but only went to look at some today wanted to find out what other ladys options are.

Also are you buying all separate or a full travel system?

skyra we have a Toyota IQ that we can't get rid off until baby is 6 months old that doesn't even have a boot! (Well it does, but about 3 inch of boot space) so we're having to choose travel systems very carefully! It is surprisingly spacious inside so enough room for a car set etc...and the pram itself will go by passengers feet or the second seat in the back folds down completely flat and it will go in there. Blush

We're pram shopping on a budget as all money saved will go towards me having more time mat leave, so we think we're going for the Graco Evo which is on offer in MC at the minute. We've test drove it and played around with the folding and it seems perfect for what we need Smile

I absolutely love my Babyzen Yoyo 0+. It is so small when folded and easy to open and fold and carry around. With the 0+ set it is lie flat parent facing. Then you change for the 6 month + outward facing seat. It is absolutely brilliant for shops and restaurants.

I also have a Baby Jogger Summit XC which is a massive off road pushchair. I highly recommend it if you need something for rough terrain.

The best piece of pushchair shopping advice I was given (and it applies in some way to lots of baby gear) is to pay most attention to advice from people who have used pushchairs for at least 18 months i.e. tried and properly tested through different stages.

We went for the Baby Jogger City Mini because it's light, super easy to fold (pull on one strap) and lasts a long time. The only downside in my view is that the main seat is not parent facing (though carrycot or car seat can be in it).

I bought a graco Evo travel system (w/out carrycot) and it was honestly really good, but it didn't fit in my boot very well, so I sold it to a friend.

I then bought a mamas and papas armadillo which I really love, it's so good for walks in the wood as well as out and about in the town. They have released a new one which rear and forward faces, mine only goes forward. I also have a second hand bee because it's really lightweight and very easy to get in and out of the car, and really quick to unfold. They keep their value much more than the other makes I've had, which will be good when I sell it on.

In hindsight, I'd have gone for a second hand bugaboo bee in the beginning, with a brand new maxi cosi car seat.

I'd definitely get an isofix base if you can afford it. The seat seems so much more secure, and god forbid you had an accident, the seat would literally not move an inch.

Babyzen at £450 for both newborn and 6+ parts is def cheaper than a car :)

I'm getting the Pioneer. Looks awesome. Huge basket. Higher seating position so closer to us tall people. Folds down so easily. Adjustable handle. Great all terrain wheels. Feels lovely to push. I can't wait til it arrives! :)

M27J5M · 02/10/2014 12:12
