Just started looking and hoping for some feedback. We need something that folds near, and is suitable for country lanes or uneven ground. Not many other requirements. I'm pretty sure I like the oyster but have read some differing reviews. Also i'm a complete novice and don't want to make am expensive mistake! Thanks!

I've heard good things about the Evo and it looks much better quality than the Oyster.

A friend of mine has had her Oyster for 10 Weeks and so far the handle has snapped out of the frame and one of the wheels has jammed in place, when she reported this to the site where she bought it they says these were common faults!

I've been researching more online and a lot of review said the evo had better seat positions such as upright and right back which the oyster doesn't. I think we'll have to have a closer look! Thanks!

we have uppababy vista, its good on uneven ground, but probably not as good as something with inflatable tyres, it comes with lie flat pram top and pushchair top waterproof and fly net covers for both. so many other good features and stable and sturdy enough to last until they walk, they have a website which might have more details but i would def go and see one stockists are usually independent shops but john Lewis stock them now too! pm me if you want?

Oh we looked at the vista and I really liked it but dh said it was too dear! I think it was over 600, without a car seat. I think our top budget would be five hundred.

We have a Recaro Babyzen and really love it. Folds up small, also doubles as carrycot and chair, 9 month old still in the carrycot and she is long. The car seat fits on it and later it becomes one piece three wheeler. I walk miles every week and just took it to all day event in a field.
It was expensive but we found ours on eBay- also didn't need a chair or Moses basket so in some ways we saved.
Love it!!!

I'll have a look at that one thanks! parents are buying so it needs to be a new pram...they don't think the first pram should be second hand.

We bought it new from an eBay shop. Agree should be new.

Great! Will have a look!
