My babiie prams / travel systems / cosatto

[Thubbardx]

Hi everyone I really need help on picking a pram
so basically I had my heart set on a my babiie 3in1 travel system but there is literally NO shops that have that pram in to test it out in my area so I either order it and see if I like it for the £319 but I have also seen a cosatto giggle 4 which I'm in love with too! The cosatto is £499 including the isofix base, so im also thinking of the near £200 difference, I'm just in two minds on wether to order the my babiie and test it out and if I don't like it get the cosatto but it's just the hassle of ordering it and stuff and then you have to pay to send it back so can anyone who has the my babiie travel system tell me about theirs, pros and cons as I've seen many bad reviews aswell as good reviews , and anyone who has the cosatto giggle 4 could you tell me about yours!?

im much appreciated of anyone answering this post

thankyou

My pram knowledge is rather out of date (youngest is now 25) but 8m giving your post a bump.

Hi OP, my first advice would be not to get a system with a car seat. Their car seats are poorly designed and tested to the minimum standards for crash testing. Cosatto, My Babiie, Infababy etc., all put more thought into their designs than their safety.

We had a Cosatto travel system which was great, but they're all bulky things. We bought adaptors and a car seat to go with it. There's a page on Facebook called Car Seat Advice UK, and Extended Rear Facing that'll help give advice on the best car seats. The best budget friendly car seat is the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix I-Size and most prams have adaptors for this as it's a pretty universal seat.

The actual pram and pushchair element of the travel system is much the same for any. They're all big and bulky and take up a lot of boot space (if you drive). It's really tempting to buy one brand new, but you use it for less than a year before it becomes a pain having to clip to all together to use, and you swap it for a one-piece pushchair once they're sitting independently. If you're happy to consider a second hand option, there's loads of Facebook Marketplace ❤️

But if you don't go for the second hand option, just avoid their rubbish car seats. Babies often end up chin to chest in these car seats which restrict their breathing when so small.

The Cosatto infant car seat actually recently got a pretty good rating on ADAC recently. I am less keen on their seats for older children, but the baby ones are fine.

In general though unless you have your heart set on one of the colourful Cosatto prints I don't think either Cosatto or Ickle Bubba are well made.

This is a good deal for a similar price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CP2NK2M2

Did you get the MyBabiiee in the end? I’m looking at them at the moment but don’t know anyone with it or anywhere I can try!
