Graco - Myavo Travel Stroller

We love our Graco myavo. I think it cost £130. My friend has a silver cross jet and says it’s a great pram too.

Graco myavo is great for the price. Really light, has a really long back so lasts ages, high weight limit, and the basket is bigger than my silver cross. It’s one hand fold and lies flat for naps.

I got the Graco Near2Me DLX travel system. I didn’t want to spend a fortune if it wasn’t necessary and it had all the features I wanted (not too heavy, standalone fold, big basket underneath, car seat with turning isofix base). I got it on Amazon in their sale with the baby registry discount for about £340 all in. I always had in my head that if I hated it or the baby hated it I at least wouldn’t have lost much and could get something else once I knew what he and being a parent was like - I have friends that spent £1k+ and hate their prams. The bassinet is suitable up to 6 months, he was in it til he was about 2.5 months then he just hated it because he couldn’t see out and wanted to sit up already, so I swapped to the pram seat which can be parent or world facing and can recline flat so is suitable from birth. I also use the car seat on the pram wheels quite a lot for running errands. It’s not too heavy or bulky to get in to my car (I have joint problems, my husband has back problems). The only con I’d say is it’s not the snazziest looking pram but I was going for function over style and everyone is looking at my cute baby not the pram. I recently got the Graco Myavo travel pram in the middle of Aldi for £59.99 as we were going to London by train. It’s 5.8kg, compact and folds one handed, fully reclines and has a big basket underneath and good sturdy wheels. It was cheap so I’m not worried if it gets damaged or such in transit! It was brilliant and the wee ma loved it. One thing that has helped me massively when making decisions on purchases is ChatGPT. You just tell it what you want, what your budget is and it will do all the searching and analysing for you and even watch prices for you.

I bought a new stroller around 18 months and my daughter still loves it at 26 months and I expect to use it at least another year. I don’t think a super expensive one is necessary though. I got a Graco Myavo and I love it - lightweight, one hand fold, stands folded, good basket and sun cover and my daughter seems comfortable in it. 

I bought the Graco Myavo and it's been great. Single handed push, single handed open/close, lightweight. Still fits my 3 year old. The only negative I've found with it is the bar has to be taken off with 2 hands and has to fully come off, it doesn't just swing to one side. I would just take it off and not use it but my toddler asks for it on! So I mostly let him climb over it himself, or lift him in without taking it off. One of the main reasons I bought it was because I wanted something under £100 that Was light and I could push one handed.

We've got a Graco myavo buggy that's up to 22kg, great one handed steering, one handed folding and is 5.4kg in weight. So not a lot heavier than yours. Under £100 at Argos and Smyths at the moment. I love ours. It was also sold in Aldi a few weeks ago but I didn't look at the price

We have a Graco myavo and for the money, it is brilliant.

Graco mom over here. Honestly, I didn’t try Uppa and I didn’t understand why they were so expensive. I have 2 graco strollers and both car seats were Graco. Everything was easy to use, the basket on my graco jogger was massive and great, and I had a smaller one for quick trips or travelling, which I recommend. The infant car seat was fantastic and obviously fit with both strollers. My baby has friends who had Uppa strollers and both babies have grown into wonderful toddlers. I just spent less money on a stroller. I used a halo bassinet for a bit then baby went to the crib.

my best advice is you really don’t need anything that’s insanely expensive if there’s reliable alternatives. i bought graco everything. i got a stroller from them for about $300 or so, it’s amazing. i live in nyc and walk everywhere, don’t even have a car, and it’s been lasting strong. it has room for storage so i can bring stuff when we’re going somewhere a little further away from home like to another borough, it’s not too heavy to pick up to walk up and down the stairs, and it’s great for walking on the bumpy sidewalk. i absolutely love graco so much. i bought a second super lightweight travel stroller with less storage space that’s even lighter to carry just because the graco stroller was cheap enough where i could get a second little cheaper stroller when i dont want to carry the heavier one. as for bouncers, i got a free one secondhand that worked great and i got a gifted one that was roughly $50. my baby only ended up liking bouncers for a couple months. after he wasn’t a little newborn anymore around 4 months old, he hated bouncer or anything that constrained him or kept him trapped in one place. he likes to move lol. so i wouldn’t spend too much money on stuff until your baby is here and you see what they like. ESPECIALLY diapers omg i wish someone told me this!!!! my baby ended up with super sensitive skin and could only use one brand of diapers. we had so many diapers we had to return because they would give him hives. clothes- you’ll most likely be gifted tons of clothes because people love to shop for baby clothes. once upon a baby, walmart, carters, there’s a lot of places with super cute really cheap baby clothes. also people are always giving away secondhand baby clothes on places like fb marketplace. i bought a few items that were a little more pricey that i really wanted, and then the rest i was gifted or got secondhand, or bought from places like the ones i listed. my baby had enough clothes he wore a lot of the newborn size, 0-3 months, 3-6 months clothes 1 or maybe 2 times because they grow so fast. he was in sizes 6m, 6-9m, 9m, 12m the longest so far. i also ended up with baby clothes in the wrong season for the size (or wrong size for the season?) because they don’t fit in the size that’s their age lol so i had 3-6m winter clothes when he was actually in 3-6m during the hottest months of the summer. i invested in a good baby carrier because i baby wear and walk everywhere, but even then i spent around $40 on it and didn’t get the expensive name brand ones. the one i have i absolutely loveeee and it wasn’t one of those $200 carriers. no hate to anyone who gets them, i wish i could afford it! but i’m on a budget and the cheaper one works great for me. my car seats were graco as well! they’re great i got an infant travel seat and a convertible car seat. basically, don’t spend tons of money on items before the baby is here and you don’t know what your baby is going to like or prefer, and don’t feel the need to get name brand items or expensive items if you’re on a budget because there’s reliable affordable options. baby stuff is expensive but i think right now social media and other moms will make you think you need stuff you really don’t need, and there’s ways to get more affordable options that will still be perfect for your baby.

I got Graco everything. Pack and play and bassinet, jogger stroller, travel stroller, high chair, infant car seat, and regular car seat. Haven't had an issue with any of them. Love Graco. Went with them because they've been around a long time and I trust the brand because of how long they've been in the game. I didn't consider any pricier options because I couldn't afford them. And my daughter has not been uncomfortable in anything. Nothing has broken. Have no complaints. I also don't notice what other gear people have out in public. It all kind of looks the same at a distance anyway.

I got a Graco travel stroller for $99 from Costco. Doesn't get used all that often but it was $99 and folds and unfolds single handed.

We did east coast —> hawaii —> japan at 5 mos with a graco car seat and travel stroller and I thought it worked great—we only gate checked the stroller and bought baby a seat, so she sat in her car seat. Does the Doona fit on a plane?
