Cruz V2 - would you recommend?! Thank you

[amy480]

Hello - any advise on this travel system greatly appreciated. We live in the suburbs and it will be used mainly for pavement walks, shop visits, occasional park visits. We will use the car but sometimes train. How have others found it and is it ok in a park setting over sightly uneven ground and in wet weather? Is the folding easy? Thanks so much - these prams are a minefield! We have also been looking at Nuna Mixx next as well. It is really between these 2 😊

We have the Cruz V2 and have been happy with it. It's great on uneven ground, really nice to push, great big basket for loading up with shopping etc.

It's quite big so takes up a lot of space in the boot, but isn't as big as the Vista so fine getting on trains etc.

I do sort of wish we had gone for the Vista now we're having 2 under 2 (just) because you can't convert the Cruz to be a double buggy. But I think we'll get by with a sling and then a buggy board!

Thanks so much. That's really helpful. Please can I ask what car seat you used to also put on the buggy?

We didn't actually use a car seat with it, as we had the Joie ispin 360 from birth so it stayed in the car. We just used the bassinet and then the seat with the infant insert we bought because DS had bad reflux and was better a bit more upright.

We also bought the bassinet stand and then the laundry bags to go on to once we didn't use the bassinet anymore. Very handy! Not sure what we'll do with the laundry bags when we'll need the stand again in a few months 🤔

But it's great that the bassinet is safe for overnight sleep so you don't need to use a Moses basket etc

That's really helpful thank you. Would you recommend the Joie I-Spin?

Yes I would, provided you don't need to move it between cars often. That's the only downside, it's big and bulky and difficult to move.

The majority of my friends have ended up buying it as well, including the ones that had the capsule car seat for the baby.
