Has anyone got a Graco Evo? Would love your thoughts/experiences...

Hi ladies
Im a first time mum to be bamboozled by all the pram / travel system options. The Graco Evo seems to have everything we want and is on budget. Has anyone any experience of this? Would love to hear from you ...
Many thanks x

hello
I DO!

Its BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!! sooooooooo lightweight its unreal. very easy to use too.
we have the car seat, carry cot and the buggy bit.
The car seat does make LO a bit sweaty but I understand that all car seats seem to do that to babies! feel free to ask any questions

I have the full travel system, lo is now 1 and I'm only just thinking about changing it for a smaller buggy as we are going to Scotland soon and the graco takes up my whole boot. I've really liked it, light weight, fits nicely in the car and has a good basket underneath. The carry cot wasn't worth me having as lo really didn't like it and the pram can be used from birth anyway. The only negative I can think of is the plastic wheels and lack of suspension but this is only an issue if we are walking the dog somewhere abit rougher. To get something suitable for that kind of terrain would have cost a lot more I expect. Overall I'd recommend it!

Thanks ladies
Great to hear you've been happy with it. My main worry after searching online reviews was that it could be a bit bumpy. Im just hoping my wee one wont mind a few bumps! Its currently on offer in Mothercare Uk, so we'll probably go ahead and get the car seat / cot / buggy & then also get car seat base and cot stand as extras. Really appreciate you taking the time to post on this x

Lol...the bumps might help lo sleep 😉 I find it fine on pavements and some gravel paths. We just use the carrier if we go walking anywhere rougher. Would definately recommend the car seat base....was so much quicker, well worth the money!

I recently got the evo as I have the silver cross freeway which I got with DS1 and used for DS2 but when I added the buggy board I found it too heavy. It also. Took up my whole boot.

I really like the evo its lighter and easier to maneuver and it can be parent facing which I really wanted. Idont find it bumpy and LO is very comfy in it. The only things I miss from my silver cross are the adjustable handle (mainly when I'm using the buggy board) and the one time I have had it facing outwards there isn't a wee peek window in the hood to look in at Lo. I'm really happy with it and would say its very in between my big heavy carrycot silver cross and my lightweight buggy which I feel DS2 is to young for just now.
