jlm29 wrote: » A stroller is usually a light fold up buggy that wouldn’t always be suitable for a newborn (some are, but very few take a car seat). It’s a travel system you’re looking for so- they’re the ones that take car seats! As for what you need, it really depends on your lifestyle, and where you’ll be using it. City vs country roads, public transport etc etc. What suits one person won’t necessarily suit another

shesty wrote: » No you can buy travel system for up to toddler years. Take for example the Uppababy Vista, or Out and About. These can be used from newborn up to toddler years. Your preferences will decide which suits you best...do you want one a car seat can fit into? What is your budget? What will fit in the car boot? What are you living in, apartment or house, and what will fit in the doors? Do you need something neat that will mainly be in the city, or do you go out to beaches or parks for long walks (the bigger wheels will be handy for that). And maybe a lesser question - do you plan on having another child soon and would a buggy that converts to a double be a good investment. An example of a stoller could a Baby jogger City mini or a Silver Cross pop star stroller - those are smaller, and may not necessarily include a pram basket and the like .They may have smaller storage, smaller wheels and be more suitable for city living. Alternately, some people find themselves buying a travel system for the baby, and then as they get a little bit bigger, end up changing over to a stroller as they are easier to handle. Just to note I randomly picked brands off the Mothercare website as examples - my own experience is the Vista which I love but that may not be suitable for what you need.

masterboy123 wrote: » Thank you shesty. I have checked Uppababy Vista but like you said it may not suit everyone. I found it extremely expensive. Yes, I would like car seat fit into it. From what I found online, I am looking for travel system 3 in 1. With same colour bag included. Budget 300 euros. Living in a house. Need for city and beach/long walks. Am I expecting too much in my budget? Also, I have noticed 3 wheels vs 4 wheels, is there a difference in terms of ease while going out for walks?

Just saw you can buy maxi cosi adaptershttps://eurobaby.com/city-mini-single-maxi-cosi-adapters/ I have seen people put on a carry cot thing...I never bothered. I bought the footmuff and just lay it flat. I bought it to keep in my car....looked at the out n about but it is that big bigger and heavier folded. I have a bugaboo chameleon of my everyday one. I love it and also have the bugaboo seat board on it.
kandr10 wrote: » Thanks for that Millem! I was just a bit concerned cos when you look at it in the flat position it seems to still have a slight angle. I have seen you can add a car seat but I’m not super keen on doing that. I’ve seen there is a carrycot thing but hard enough to get hold of in Ireland. I absolutely love this buggy. While it might be technically a stroller, it’s quite large and comfortably fits tall 4 year old (I rented one in New York when my little girl was that age). It wheels beautifully and is pretty light but sturdy. Decent enough basket underneath and the hood is huge. Also the folding! Op google the folding of this pram - nothing else is as easy. You can genuinely do it one handed. I didn’t mean to de rail the thread by tagging on questions, but if this is indeed good to go from newborn I’d totally recommend above any travel system.

I found this on Amazon with good reviews and in our budget. We are Amazon prime members.https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015D428UC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_QaALEb9YQVNX9 Any other recommendations with link please? We didn't like the design of OutnAbout, I think it's more for people into jogging, it has breaks and looks sporty. We did like City Mini below: but imagine we have to get car seat separately.https://www.ubuy.ie/en/catalog/product/view/id/8298958/s/baby-jogger-2016-city-mini-3w-single-stroller?gclid=CjwKCAjwvtX0BRAFEiwAGWJyZO_qyC47EaUUsKAyQY2MwWqRutdfKRg2Z0K36FcWr2Kj9KgOCE2duxoCSeQQAvD_BwE

But the bigger issue will be it has no adjustable handle. If either you or your partner are tall this will wreck your head. Not only for the comfort of having the handles at the right height, but if the handle is too low then you'll just keep kicking the wheels / brake when you're walking. Also worth noting, but you're probably aware, the carseat isn't isofix, so you'll have to seatbelt it in and out every time you want to put it on the pushchair.
masterboy123 wrote: » You have mentioned very serious points in here. I am looking for isofix and will definitely search for adjustable handle. Back to searching under my budget of 350 euros (increased it by 50 euros today).
jlm29 wrote: » I personally would buy a maxi cosi car seat, with an easy fix base. The maxi cosi has the longest seat shell, so will last you longer than other infant carriers. I would then buy a buggy that can take adaptors for the maxi cosi. Many of them can. Remember that if you plan on having more than one child, you’re better off paying for something that will last a bit longer, if possible. I’ve had four kids and used the same car seat for all 4, while friends who’ve bought cheaper car seats/buggies have bought several. I wouldn’t rule out buying a second hand buggy and a new car seat either.

I have the bugaboo cameleon since mine was born, it has the lie down cot part and the seat which I still use (she was 2 last month) I have bought a lighter stroller Joie tourist for out and about and we will probably sell the cameleon soon ( I think we paid in around €1100 for that, but we have gotten a great use out of it) We had a maxi cosi car seat from our first child. I bought the isofix base on Facebook for €50.

awec wrote: » To be totally honest with you, I think your budget is totally unrealistic for what you're after unless you buy everything second hand. Up to you how comfortable you'd be buying second hand car seat / bases. Car seat wise I also recommend maxicosi. The easyfix base will fit the first 2 car seats you'll need.
