Which pram has the best carrycot?

[Snowflakes1122]

I'm looking for a pram that has a good sized, quality carrycot.

We will be using it as a day bed and overnight when we go for weekends away.

Any recommendations?

I have a Bugaboo Cameleon 3 and it states that it is NOT approved as safe for overnight sleep. I had a Mutsy 4Rider with DD1 and the carrycot for that was big, bigger than the Bugaboo, and was safe for overnight sleep. I used it for overnight until DD1 got too big for it.

There isn't an official 'test' in the UK to approve or dis-approve a carrycot for overnight sleeping. There is one in the USA which is why some carrycots like U ppababy say they are 'approved for overnight sleeping' but most sold in the UK don't mention anything like this. Things to look out for are a ventilated base - not just a solid slab of wood or plastic, a decent mattress (can replace this if it's a bit thin), make sure it stands up on it's own (some hang down from a frame on the pushchair so physically wouldn't stand up on their own base), some ventilation - sides made from fabric so there's some movement of air, should be fairly deep and not too light, so that a baby that suddenly decides to get mobile in the middle of the night won't tip the whole thing over (although obviously moses baskets are light!).
We had a Baby jogger Deluxe carrycot and often used it as a place for DD sleep while travelling. We always put it on the floor though. My SIL put it on two diningroom chairs next to each other once, and my niece at 4 weeks decided to shift around a bit in it and it tipped off onto the floor!!!
