Here I am again, picking your brains!

Has anyone any experience or opinions of this http://www.boots.com/en/Cosatto-Cabi-3-in-1-Combi-Walk-in-the-Park_1036256/ ?

Can't seem to find any or many reviews on line and to my untrained eye it looks alright. To your trained eyes how does it look?

I'm rubbish at this mother to be stuff, rubbish!

Thanks all.

Looks 'alright' to me too I'm rubbish at mother to be stuff too even though this is number 2. My honest opinion about that pushchair? £288 is a lot of money to spend on something that's 'alright'. I have no idea where some of this baby stuff gets its prices from but you really don't need to spend that much. We got ours from Freecycle, it's not what I would have chosen had I had an unlimited budget (I'd lurve a proper massive Silver Cross pram, wouldn't fit through our front door unfortunately) but it's perfectly good. For me personally the limitations of that pushchair is the size of the storage area underneath, the fact that babe faces outwards and the fact that the bar across might get really annoying when they get a bit older and object to being put in. Why not get something as cheaply as you can then splash out a bit more when you actually know what you really want?

That is meant to be helpful, by the way. I hope I haven't come across as a sarcastic old cow! Good luck with baby

ETA: I'm not making a value judgement by the way about whether it's right that a baby should face you or not, it's just for me personally it's not something I'd feel totally happy about. I also wouldn't have known that prior to having my son and I don't think it's particularly logical. Gawd, my hormones are bad at the moment, I'm convinced I'm permanently upsetting people, I've just phoned AND texted my husband at work to make sure he fully understood what I meant in an email and hadn't taken it the wrong way. He's in a meeting so now I'm worrying. Time for a cup of tea I think

Thanks Courgette, value your opinon :-)
It's a travel system and comes with a carry cot thing, the pushchair thing and has a car seat mode, the car seat is an extra £80. The pushchair thing can apprently be turned to face either way and I'm keen to have the little blighter facing my way at least for a while.
It's describled as small and lightweight which is what I'm after really and I didn't think it was bad for under £300, OH is looking at stuff at £700+ which is just insane!
I think you're right about the front bar thing, it might get a bit annoying. Thanks courgette!

See i liked the front bar on my old huge 3 wheeler :rotfl: makes it harder for the little monsters to try and escape!
