hi everyone, am new to the forum and my partner is expecting our first in April.
I am looking to get some advice on pram/pushchair/travel system/car seat combinations. There's so much choice and quite a few options we have no idea what is best. We dont want to rush out and spend £500 on a travel system if things are going to change down the line, like a second baby.
We mainly want one where the baby faces us for up to a year or so.
I am undecided between getting:-
1. Travel system where baby faces parent for 1st year, then can face forward after that in the same pushchair. We dont want one where it has to face forward from birth or after a few months or where they sit in the car seat in the pram (as they can only do so for 2 hours).
OR
2. A normal pram then buy a pushchair later on.
We would like a second baby as soon as we can, so hopefully next year. So thinking number 2 may be better as we will then have both pram and pushchair for both, as with number 1 we would have to buy another one anyway.
On the other hand there are some prams/pushchairs that can fit 2 babies in which would be ideal so one parent can go out without the other.
Also, I am wondering if we should get the car seat that go with the prams/pushchairs so would be handy to carry him around in briefly (up to 2 hours) OR get the 0-4 year car seats, and then just move him from that to the pram/push chair. With this one we dont have to buy another car seat when they get bigger.
I have no idea!
Any advice appreciated, thanks
