Im due this week, so can't speak on usefulness yet, we have gone for the maxi-cosi Oxford travel system. I would 100% recommend testing all out in shop and then keeping an eye on fb, vinted, Ebay etc for people selling up. We managed to save quite a bit getting it 2nd hand (and got a steal too as ours was basically brand new due to a faulty light on the basket-- maxi-cosi just sent them a replacement hence them selling after only 2 weeks use) My partner did do a lot of research and we think the bassinet attachment is going to be really useful for visiting family/zoo etc whilst baby is young, as they can nap in the bassinet.
Why the doona then? Most pram systems have a car seat which you can take out and put onto the pram wheels, which is so simple and then you still have the pram wheels, height and suspension. The doona is like a baby doll stroller, do you really want your precious baby rattling away in that? We got the Maxi Cosi Oxford system and it’s amazing. The bassinet is big but it’s comfy and the whole stroller is like a tank. Then once done with the bassinet you can change it to the seated pram and it folds so easily but it lays flat too which not all strollers do and that’s unhealthy for the baby to be “seated” all the time. Then we have the car seat which attaches to the wheels and voila. We actually looked at the Uppa for the main reason of having multiple kids but I hated the idea of having one on top the other and decided the bugaboo donkey would be better. However I don’t have a second kid yet so no point planning for something that is yet to happen.
Our Maxi Cosi travel system is wonderful. There are a few different style options but they all have the same stroller with bassinet that converts to a seat for bigger kids & todlers, and attachments for carseat. Highly recommend.
We had a maxi Cosi travel system that I got from John Pye for £170, came with an isize car seat that was compatible with the same bases as the Pearl 360. Used it for around 7.5 months then sold it for £120 as our needs had changed ☺️ I don’t regret not splashing big money on a swanky one at all. My son was comfortable in the bassinet and it did what I needed it to do!
Thank you so much! That’s my second baby and I saw it at target and loved how smooth and light it is. I was thinking about the ginger, but I know if I got the ginger I will get another travel stroller in 1 year. So, why not get the nutmeg travel system from the beginning. My first I got maxi cosi travel system that was so bumpy and we hated it.
I think the maxi cosi came with the whole shabang and the main seat turned into a bassinet. I got the uppababy vista, borrowed an old uppababy bassinet (still fits fine) and use a clek liing car seat with adaptors.
