maxi cosi pram help pls!!!!

yan

hi guys,

i spent days and days reading around old posts and i got some great ideas and hints from them.

i have finally decided to go for a combination like this:

pram and buggy (not a travel system)
and seperate car seat

so searching around i found this offer online
Maxi Cosi Mura 3 Inc Pack 11 Flamingo Slice for only 220 pounds
(The Mura is teamed up with the matching carrycot)

unfortunately i cannot find a store that stocks this one to go and have a look...

does anyone have any feedback? i read that it is a very heavy one... is it true?

just for the record the RRP is 550 pounds!!!!!
so i dont want to end buying something simply because it is on a great offer but the pram is not good.

thanks in advance!

I have the maxi cosi mura 4.
It is the best buggy and pram that I have ever used.
I am on my 1st baby but pushed quite a few buggies:)
It is great on rough terrain,a little heavy for constantly putting in and out of the car.
Brilliant for train journey I still love it and my baby is 9 1/2 months old.
I am living in North Kildare,if you want to come try it out.You are more then Welcome.
I got the whole combo from kiddicare about a year ago for 499.I had seen it in mother care but it was nearing 1k for the lot and Tony Kealys had it and it was over 1k for the lot so I was delighted with myself:)
Fell free to pm me for more info

If I were you I would avoid the Mura pram unless you are big into walking. As prams go it would at the heavier end of the scale so not really suitable for lifting in and out of car boots. Also folds quiet large so not a great space saver. If you're looking for something on that style the Quinny Speedi is a great one and not as heavy.

The Vigour 3 is a nice buggy. Was it the new model or the older model? The older vigour seat unit was only suitable from 3 months upwards which meant you had to use the carseat all the time for the first 3 months (obviously a big problem). If it is the current model you'll be ok as it is now suitable from birth. You'll know the difference as the newer model comes with a footmuff aswell. If you ask a member of staff they should be able to let you know.

thanks for the feedback

yes it is the new model. it comes with a footmuff but only actually half a footmuff. it doesnt have the back.... but i guess i can live with this.

and yes it fully reclines as well so it is suitable from birth.

i think i will go for it. 300 is a price u cannot beat

cheers for the help!

I really like the maxi cosi mura 3 and I am wondering if you have a second child while your first child is still a toddler is there an attachment so you can make it into a double buggy? Many thaks for your help!!
