Travel System - Confused!

33 replies

Slan1 · 14/05/2015 14:06

Hi,
I know there are quite a few threads here about travel systems but I just wanted to see if I could finally come to a decision! I have looked at the Joie Chrome and the Venicci Mini. I would like a travel system that is not crazy expensive but I would also like one that is durable. I like to be outdoors and while I don't live in the countryside I do walk a lot. I have seen a few brands that seem nice such as the Joie and the Venicci but wondered if any of you had any other suggestions or can tell me if they like either of these.
First time mum here so this is all very confusing and just when I have deicded on which to get, I see another brand and change my mind!
Thank you!

You still don't use car seats as main modes of transport ffs you can kill a baby doing that or deform their spine jesus ! Shock "

Have you considered an extended rear facing car seat? You wouldn't buy as a pram package but it stays in car from 0-4 years roughly so no need to keep buying next stage car seats and safer rear facing longer. Something like the Cybex sirona. They are around £350 mark

Then you can just buy any buggy suitable for your needs from newborn. For small boots have you looked at the babyzen yoyo 0+? Otherwise maybe bugaboo bee or I candy raspberry. All suitable birth and parent facing in baby mode, then lightweight buggy as they grow so no need to buy twice

Friends who have the Mamas andPapas Sola rave about it and are still using it exclusively 2 years on.

When I went anywhere in car yes I transferred carseat onto chassis ! But if walking which I did most time I used pram or sling, tbh I can't see the prob I didn't use car seat as much as Mrs average would have! I've seen babies left in car seats in the home/out n about as their chair etc!

Have you thought about the mamas & papas armadillo flip or flip xt? They have reversible seats, lie flat for newborns, though you can get a carrycot, newborn cocoon and car seat adapters. The hood is also huge, so great for naps and providing some shade, and they fold quite small - it fits in my mum's Clio with lots of room to spare.
