Graco - Near2Me DLX Trio

The graco near2me dlx trio has the bassinet, car seat, and toddler seat. We pair it with the graco snugturn 360 carseat base. The strollers and carseat are lightweight and the base folds up easily. We even use the bassinet in the house because it's easy to move around the house with us. I highly recommend this set and a rotating carseat base. All together it was 650€.

I just got the Graco near2me trio and I love it! It's the snuglite infant car seat, which clicks into the stroller, the carry cot, and the toddler stroller seat. They're interchangeable as the child grows. And it was about 500€. I got the black one, but it also came in grey.

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.

That’s what we did. Got a Greco travel system (stroller and car seat) for like $180 and that’s the one we fly with.
