Oxford Stroller

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.

Swear by: nuby rapid cools, if formula feeding (multiples especially for those first few weeks of non-stop feeding). Regret: We got a maxi cosi travel system with the bassinet attachment. LO did use it for first couple of months but only in the house as a makeshift moses basket. Stopped using it around 8 weeks as he likes to have room to stretch out his arms and legs when napping/did a lot of contact naps. Now its just an expensive cat bed. Never used the bassinet outdoors as we use the car seat attachment on the pram and now he is big enough for the "toddler" pram attachment too.

It depends on how you’ll use it. We have narrowed it down to 2 travel systems. As a soon to be family of 5 with a dog we need one that folds as small as possible for car space. We wanted a spacious and flat basket underneath so the dog can sleep in the bottom on longer walks and we go on a lot of countryside/ woodland walks and stop in a cafe etc for lunch so that was a a must for the pup. We are both old this time and crackle and pop when we move hahahah so wanted one with a bassinet part that sits quite high for easy access to baby. Then we like that the handle bar and bumper don’t rub in the floor as they’re folded as this ruins them quickly. Clips for the changing bag do it doesn’t fall down the handle a lot. Both have a pocket in the bassinet part and a pocket in the back of the seat unit for car keys which is super useful. Both have tilt option for reflux. I presume the uk and USA will have different prams available but we are deciding between the joie signature finiti in maple and the maxi cosi oxford in truffle. We know we will be swapping between the carseat and bassinet/ seat on the frame a lot so we are put off by needing different adapters for each. One pram doesn’t have a footmuff or changing bag to match which is a shame. But the other is a bit harder to fold and is £200 more expensive but better quality. We also looked at size of the bassinet part. We are predicted to be having a big baby -4kgs ish as my last 2 were big.. so we avoided prams with a shorter or narrower bassinet as we know baby will grow out of them before they’re ready for the seat :) Make a list of how you’ll use the pram. Where you’ll be going and for how long etc to work out what will be most useful for you. We got blown away by fancy features but realistically know we would t use them as we don’t live in a city and I don’t have school runs etc etc :)

I have the Maxi Cosi travel system and a compact SUV - Mitsubishi RVR and agree with this. It fits well in the back, but the passenger seat needs to be moved up extremely closely to the dash. It doesn’t fit in the middle well because then both seats need be adjusted the same. I do like it overall though, I saw many reviews about the wheels being bad but it’s worked nicely for us (only been using it 3 weeks so far) for casual walks. I don’t find the car seat too heavy, but to be fair I didn’t test a lot.

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 got the Maxi Cosi travel system!! Comes with an infant car seat that can click into the stroller base, and has a seat that can be a bassinet or a regular seat for a toddler. Can be switched to face forward or backward too. 10/10 and stylish for the price!

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.
