    I am wandering when Polish mothers will stop using the big, masive, tank like prams, as they look terrible, will not fit into a car, need a second parking space, take about 40 square foot in the bus. I recognize girls from my birthland straight away seeing an army tank on the path.

    On the other hand, I dont understand Irish mothers squeezing like 8 months old baby into a small ''baby car seet'' on the wheels.

    Something in between, PLEASE!!!

    Maybe it is, but I would be afraid baby could just roll out of it :) and anyway -rain and wind.. but I walk a lot with my dog, so maybe if you dont go for long walks it is god enough.

    You (irish people) are definitely more relaxed about things and easygoing as a nation I should learn some of that. ;)

    I have the Graco travel system that come with a pram insert for the first few months.. it was €200 2 years ago got it for my 3rd and i'm still using it with my 4th.. i got a graco double buggy and both the car seat and the pram insert fit in the back section this one for the smaller baby.. I'm looking for brevi car seats and i can't seem to source them in ireland either so i kind of know what you mean... there are only about 6 or so brands sold in Ireland no matter where you try..;)

    Is this about what they look like? Does maxi cosi mura or mutsy look like a tank? I dont think so, they are very well designed and high quality prams.
    (and will for sure fit in a car)

    Yes and it makes me wonder why, I know Ireland is a small country, but there is many babies born recently and choice is really very disappointing!

    So, nobody helped me, but I helped myself and found one shop in Ireland that sells proper travel system.
    I will share in case anyone interested:

    We got the Brio Sing which was a great system

    It came with a pram, stroller, car seat and isofix base. The handles were adjustable which suited my wife for the extra height. It also had a big basket.

    We changed after a year to the Babyjogger City Mini as junior was getting big and we needed something a bit lighter to compensate.:eek:
