Baby travel systems (merged)

xmaslolly76

Hiya i'm 5'2 and my Partner is 6'3 we have a hauck condor travel system £250 for everything including the carseat and carrycot and he finds the adjustable handles on that go up to the right height for him. The other option we looked at was the Quinny Buzz but that was a little budget busting for us but was really good for height :-)

I would say the Bugaboo chameleon as the handle bar is adjustable, it is suitable for me 5ft8in and my mum 5ft2ins.

The silver cross linear chassis fits in the boot of my fiat seiscento when I remove the parcel shelf. I then use this with the silver cross car seat which will last your baby up to 9 months/13kg.

It doesn;t fit in my Skoda Fabia so I'm surprised it will fit in your car. I can only fit the linear chassis in on the back seat, hooked over the headrest.

But anyway, you aren;t supposed to use the car seat as a pram - you need to use an actual lie-flat pram or pushchair so their spine can develop properly. the maximum amount of time they should be in a car seat is two hours, with a minimum of a half hour break in between, and my health visitor told me to avoid using the car seat as much as possible, and not to use it as a pram.

I know lots of people do, but it is very bad for babies' spines.

The Quinny Buzz fits (although you do have to take a wheel off, it is very, very simple to do) and Maxi Cosi 0-12 month car seat fits this travel system and on the back seat of a KA.

The Quinny is quite heavy though, and I would think twice before getting it again.

We have the trenton deluxe travel system from mothercare and that fits in the almost non-existant boot of my Smart car:

Why is it every time she wants a new travel system / pram.?

I like these..

Quinny Buzz in Strawberry (no car seat)
Quinny Buzz in Blue
Yummy

or that style, then to have a car seat for the car, and lift baby in & out.



What can i say to her to convince her that a 2nd hand Quinny is as good as the £165 mothercare pushchair & car seat..
