We were hoping to go and test drive some buggies as we are expecting our first baby in July, however with everything that's going on we have decided that it just isn't worth it.

We are currently looking at a Venicci 3 in 1 Silver Wild Grey, but we would really appreciate some recommendations on travel systems or reviews if you have this travel system!

Thankyou in advance 🧡

Also due in July and we tested the ICandy Lime a few weeks ago. I've also watched some reviews and demos on YouTube. I think we're going with that one.

Another vote for the iCandy Lime. I've been using it for 5 months and have been really pleased with my purchase.

Congrats on your pregnancy. I have the Cybex Balios S travel system and really like it. It was reasonably priced in comparison to a lot of them. Around 500 with the Aton Q car seat last year and I really rate it.

Have also bought the Joie Litetrax since as a regular buggy/stroller and I believe you can attach a newborn car seat to that too and it’s great, really light and easy to use.

@snowy0wl glad you like it. It seems easy to use. Looking forward to buying one.

OP - what is your criteria? The iCandy Lime fits with most car seats, is relatively light and is easy to manoeuvre (although the full system is too heavy for me to carry up stairs on my own). The one-handed folding system is really good, once you get the hang of it. One selling point for me was that the carrycot and pushchair use the same frame, which means that you don't end up storing a separate carrycot when you transition. The only minor niggle is that the the pram attachment sits quite low and so this can limit the storage in the basket (I don't have this issue when I am using the car seat attachment).

We bought the Ocarro travel system for Mamas and Papas. Not used it yet as our little guy isn't due until the beginning of June but we set it all up and it looks great! Watched a few videos on YouTube which shows you how easy it is to fold and change from bassinet to seat, etc. We also read loads of reviews before deciding on it and it comes highly recommended.

Thankyou for all your replies, I'll take a look at the recommended buggies tomorrow 🥰

We have a dog, so will be taking baby out in buggy alot when walking the dog, so something sturdy is what we need I guess.. But also we don't have anywhrre large in terms of storage at home so ideally one that folds pretty small.
This is alot to ask for with regards to a travel system I know, but I am hopeful that we will find the perfect one ☺️

I bought an EGG buggy and carry cot with a Cybex cloud z car seat.

I love the sturdiness and stylishness of the Egg and the recline function of the Cybex Cloud Z Car seat (when not in the car).

Good luck with the minefield of buggies, I spent 100's of hours and several trips to the baby store and visited a baby show before I finally made up my mind. Even then, I changed my mind at the very last minute lol

The bugaboo fox is still working well for us at 16 months.

I did quite a lot of research, watched loads of YouTube videos and spent quite a lot of time pushing praks round shops and I've ended up going for a Joolz Day 3. It sits slightly higher than others and I'm quite tall so that was one of the factors but I also liked that it was quite sturdy while also being easy to put up and down.
