Can someone tell me the difference between \link{http://www.babybasicsuk.co.uk/home/productzoom.asp?id=1497\this} and \link{http://www.babybasicsuk.co.uk/home/productzoom.asp?id=925\this}.

I am getting more confused the more i look at them! I think they're the same thing, but different colours. But there is a big difference in price, so there must be something else that i am just not getting!!

TIA Smile

more expensive one has different wheels!

and also:

Body injected with polypropilene (recyclable) with high absorption of impacts.

Baby carrier function approved for cars Group 0+

Optimisation of the interior space: 4 cm more in the interior without affecting the exterior dimensions.

Suspension : Two settings on rear wheels.

New backrest control handle, easier and more ergonomic.

Pro-fix fastening system: fastening and unlocking with just one hand.

and as gomez says... it's a newer model, so bound to be more expensive.

starlover · 07/03/2006 21:09

and looks quite different... wheels and chassis are different.
and it has a handle thing over the hood

well just look at the list of features! it's much longer so it must be better!

and men do like things that "do" more don't they? lol

mumlove · 07/03/2006 21:49

The more expensive one is a combined pram and car seat.
The cheaper one is just a pram.

I know as my mindee has the expensive one.

I have Old Slalom and it was on offer as Slamom Pro was going to be launched in UK. Only difference is Pro ones have easy attchment bit to put Matrix one it. Old ones such as Slalom and Powertrack360 are had clips.TBH, they are a bit fiddly, but will still do the work. Its your choice to pay more or less. I travelled when dd was 4m old and whole travel system was god send.
HTH,
