Pushchair recommendationsšŸ¤°šŸ»

Hi all, does anyone have any pushchair or car seat recommendations?
We just tried the Mamas & Papas Vardo range and really liked it but how do you know what to go for without trying everything?

On my second and HATED the joie car seats and prams, I had a small baby (not prem or anything) but she stayed small for so long and the straps on the joie travel system we had was awful and then when she got bigger, we got a new joie car seat to RF and again, the straps r awful for my small almost 2 y/o

We have now swapped to Puggle brand for our second and it’s SO nice.

We have the Memphis, it’s a double for a toddler and newborn (whole travel system, got it from the nursery store for Ā£500 off!) but just the whole puggle brand has been SO much better than joie imo, I find the new pram so much more spacious, sits nicer and smoother

Haven’t tried any other brands but just now absolutely hate joie lol x

Brother in law & his gf also have a puggle brand travel system for their twins and have no complaints

I thought I wanted a big fancy pram with all the bells and whistles for my first. HATED IT. A huge i candy.

I wish i had known how important it is to have something light that all just folds down as one.

If I was able to get a new pram this time I’d get something from newborn to toddler age. No need for a fancy bassinet part. Something that lies flat for newborn but can transition to toddler too.

Loved my cybex car seat that lies flat, so if the baby is sleeping no need to move them. Because they can only be in a car seat for a limited time at the start due to the body position. But if your car seat can lie flat then it resolves this and they can stay in for up to 2 hrs!

fab, we looked at this one at Mamas & Papas and really liked it for that reason too!
Thanks!

I’ve done a lot of research and have seen loads of people recommend the bugaboo fox 5! I’ll be looking into this as I think you’re also able to use it for overnight sleep too which is handy. It also folds well and great for uneven pavements etc easy to move around and has breathable hood too. I’m yet to test it out but it’s what I’ve seen a lot of mums recommend x

Used to work as a nanny - Bugaboo all the way! Mamas and papas, I candy and Joolz are so heavy and bulky!
Nuna is so hard to manoeuvre

Cybex or the new maxi cosi for car seats until age 4-5, then britax x

We had a Joie for my son and it wasn't amazing. Friends of ours had a nuna though and it seemed really great and they loved it and used it for way longer than we used ours!

fab, I’ll have a look into this one! Thanks!

That was the downfall of the Mamas and Papas one, even though it was their lightest model, it was still pretty hefty!

yep! Avoid Mima too - very fancy but so bulky šŸ˜…

No experience here but we’re looking at the bugaboo fox 5 based on recommendations and like the sound of the cybex car seat based on comments here xx

I love our Nuna Triv Next! We have a small flat and this one folds away super easy and small. We also got the pippa urban car seat and the bassinet ā™„ļø would highly recommend having a look at the Nuna range!

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate itšŸ˜¢šŸ’—

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon šŸ˜‚

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
