My friend has the Visio for her LO it is lovely and a bargain at the price. Looks very comfy and seems sturdy enough just don't expect to go off roading with it LOL.

It's not easy to push one handed but she found getting a wrist rein for her toddler worked so she didn't need to hold hands. Also reccommend to buy a footmuff for it as the apron is very thin, overall I'd say it is a decent pram does exactly what it says her LO grew out of the carrycot thing at 4 months and she was quite small for her age though.

I don't know much about slings but check out ythe reviews page on here I find it really useful for things. I'm sure someone more helpful will come along and advise you.

HTH a bit.

Slings - you either want a stretchy wrap (like a Moby) or a ringsling (lightly or unpadded, open tail like an Ellaroo) for a little one, and then a Meitai later. Check out www.bigmamaslings.co.uk for loads of info

A Close baby carrier gives the effect of a wrap for a newborn but is easier to get to grips with.
Mei tais are lovely once they can support their heads.
Actually, all slings are lovely.
