Trouble deciding on what Pushchair/travel system to buy

winterleaves · Oct 4th, 2010, 15:22 PM

Hi

Sorry I know their have been a lot of pram threads recently but I am finding it so hard to find a suitable pushchair/travel system, just wondered if you could tell me what pushchairs you bought and why.

Ideally a travel system would be better as I don't drive and would be getting the bus a lot, therefore need a light compact pushchair. My boyfriend has a small fiesta so we also need one that will fold up and fit in the boot which is tiny.. I also only really have a budget of £300..could push to £400.

Argh I'm going out of my mind stressing and worrying about what I want to get.

thank you for taking the time to read this

We bought the m & p pliko pramette. Its really light weight, suitable from birth, but it doesn't have a carry cot attachment (which we weren't too worried about as if need be we'd take a moses basket with us) At the mo they have a deal for the pram for £395 and the car seat (£125) footmuff (£60), the parasol (£25) and the changing bag (£65+) all free so all for £395. Its only in certain colours though. We went for the linear.

It is major confusing deciding which one to choose though isnt it!

Well i can not help with which pram you should get as mine folds largeish 3 wheeler travel system bought to go off road a lot but I have heard that the quinny speedi not the micro the next one up which you can attach the car seat and cot attachemt to is really good and very bus and small car friendly a friend of mine that lives in the city has one and loves it dont know the price but you can always get deals on things if oyu allow yourself enough time or you can get a pre loved one and just buy a new car seat

I dont know much about prams.. :S but my bf's mum has said she will get our pram..
she suggested the 'Kurvi 3 stroller' so i looked it up with my boyfriend and it looks quite simple to use.
I dont have a car and will b relying totally!! on public transport and it looks quite easy to manage.. plus at Argos its less than £300

Big fan of the Zia its my 4th pushchair and my lo is only 10 mths old,, had a travel system it was great but big and bulky. With the Zia I loved the style was out with it all day when i got it. My lo was so comfy had a lovely sleep in it and able to lie back at last.great suspension and so easy and manageable 10/10 definitely

We have just bought a graco travel system. It's easy to use and folds at the flick of a switch. We got it from a website called precious little one where they threw in the raincover, footmuff and car seat base for free. Very reasonable for only £269.99 with free delivery. Its the Stylus Edge model which only comes in Infinity Grey but its lovely and neutral so wud suit either sex.

i'm struggling too, i have been thinking about a Graco one but i've been told they're quite bulky and that'll be a problem for my boot, i need to get down to the shops and try them out. i've just been having a look and found this one which looks lovely and is a great price and seems to have everything i need, so this is a possibility http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/...14_10001_14051 xx
