Anyone got/getting a Graco Evo travel system?

[threebirds]

Hi
I'm finding all the various travel system choices too much - the Graco Evo travel system comes in on budget and has what we want. I'd love to hear what anyone who has one thinks of it..
Thanks!!

Can't wait to hear what you think of it Lovecakes
We like the lime green too and plan to get carrycot & stand as well so we can use it for occasional overnight visits to family etc. we are v lucky too as DHs parents are getting it for us. Did u order online or get it from shop? We'll get it from mothercare and have looked at it in there but we dont live particularly near a store so will take another week to decide for sure then either get to a store or order online.
Thanks and have fun putting it all together when it arrives! X

I had the evo mini, the basket was the best bit. Harness did my head in though.

We'll mine arrived and I still love it. Obviously baby isn't here yet so I can't comment on how it works with a real child but it was so easy to build and everything just clicks into place really easily. I can put it up and down with one hand (and a foot) and when it's collapsed with the seat part it's quite slim.

My only issue at the moment is when collapsed it doesn't stand up on its own but that's not a big deal.

We had a go at putting the isofix base and seat in the car and (I think) it went in ok and was quick.

I still love it but we'll see how I get on when I'm using it for real!

I have a graco evo and have used it for 21 months now with ds - I adore it! Ds is always super comfy in it and actually tries to climb in himself now when he sees it. I love that it lies flat for newborns/naptimes and the size of the basket underneath is fab. My only slight grumble is that it doesn't always handle going down deep curbs well but i think some of the other buggies are like this too. Overall, I think it's great value and would definitely recommend it!

I have it and still using it with my LO (who is a big boy and still plenty of room for him)it's great hopefully will get to use it again. I have the lime green and I had no complaints. I really liked that it was so easy to put up and down and very lightweight to get into boot of car.

Thanks girls, we have a hosp apt on Tue & hopefully we'll also fit a trip in to Mothercare and order it
Will probably get the carrycot stand and car seat base as extras. We are very lucky DHs parents are getting us the pram.
