Hi, I'm looking to take a 3h train journey with my 10wo. I'd have to take the travel system as I will need the car seat at the other end. Most websites say you have to collapse the buggy but he's so heavy I think I'd struggle to carry him in the car seat. I don't think he'd settle in a carrier so that isn't an option (also what would I do with the car seat then?). Also my buggy is quite large so not sure if that makes it more of a problem?
Anyone have any experience or advice? I'm wondering if it's just not worth it?

No advice to give but I'm also looking to travel to Blackpool and London possibly later in the year with my little boy and a pushchair so also need the advice 🙈

Depending on how busy the train is most train lines allow you to put the pram in the disabled section or if the bike area is big enough then in there however they do say that if someone gets on the train who is in a wheelchair then you’ll likely have to fold the pram down. I’ve never had to fold it down, as of yet! (My baby is 7 months almost). Most doors on the train are pretty wide apart from avanti which is about the average door width so should be big enough for the pram. The only issue you may face if it’s busy is having the pram in the corridor.
I travel regularly between Scotland and England so 2/3 trains over a 4.5/5 hour journey x hope this helps somewhat :)

I think it sounds a lot harder than what it is, once you’ve done it once you’ll be fine :)
thank you. I think you're right, and it's one of those things that looks/feels more daunting than it actually is! 🤞
