I already have a travel system but I'm having major doubts about it. Please talk me down.
Back story - DH and I have had the Graco Quattro Bear and Friends Travel system for years since we started TTC. It was a massive bargain at £100 as it's an ex display that was found in the back of a Toys R Us warehouse after they stopped selling the model. We then ended up struggling to conceive and I'm now 21 weeks pregnant following IVF.
The set includes pushchair, carry cot, car seat, rain cover etc. And we found the isofix base for £10 on amazon so all good to go!
The problem is I don't actually like it compared to newer, more modern travel systems, I have pram envy as they're all so neat and tidy looking. The Graco pushchair is forward facing only and stays attached at all times, you then either clip the car seat on top or fit the carry cot inside the pushchair. It all just looks a little bulky and heavy.
The Graco is also really good to push, steers well and has good suspension. Looks very cosy etc.
It is very bulky when folded and heavy and seems such a shame that baby has to be forward facing as soon as they outgrow the (relatively small) carry cot insert. DH is 6ft 5 so could have a tall baby!
Please tell me I'm mad and should stick with my absolute bargain! Or tell me what you recommend for someone who would like:
• A modern look
• Front and rear facing pushchair
• Isofix compatible car seat
• Cheaper than £400
