So I'm 14 weeks with DC3. I have made some very expensive mistakes in the past and went through 10 pushchairs/prams with my last two DC's. We need a new car this time around too so I have a limited budget of £650 tops and that has to include a car seat too, preferably maxi cosi or the be safe izi go.

I have ruled out UB vista (a bit too big at the back), bugaboo bee3 (too expensive with car seat), stokke scoot (same as bee3), SC wayfarer (carrycot too narrow and read dreadful reviews). Anything M&P!!!

I need it to:-
-have a carrycot option for at least first 4months.
-Do 4 school runs a day (therefore decent wheels!)
-Fit easily on a bus.
-Have a decent basket as I won't have access to the car during the week and walk or bus everywhere.
-Not take up a massive amount of boot space as we travel a lot and need to fit other luggage in, but our new car will be an SUV so may be able to compromise on this point.

So far I am looking at BJ versa, graco evo (love the pram and pushchair, hate the car seat), Britax affinity. Is there anything else I should consider?

I love it! The wheels are forever air tyres and seem really sturdy, much better than the old ones. There are now 3 seating positions, the recline is a bit fiddly but it doesn't bother me. The seat is really well padded and faces both directions, you can also fold with seat facing either way. I love the fold, it's truly one handed. It is heavy though, it doesn't both me as I rarely fold but bear this in mind if you putting it in and out of a car boot daily.

Like the old model, it still has it's quirks but I really like it and I'm glad I've gone for it. I also bought the softbag as I will be using it with a newborn.
