Pram regret is real 😩 did I choose wrong?

I faced the same issue, my bub is 6months now, and finally bought the separate travel buggy 🙂‍↕️

I dont have either of these prams so not sure on the specifics but I did have a big pram and decided to get a second travel friendly one for when we went on holiday as I didn't want to bring a huge thing abroad. I went for the mamas and papas airo which is cabin approved and cheaper than the yoyo.

I have the Stokke Xplory and absolutely hate the stupid thing so I feel your pain

We got the silver cross clic as a travel buggy, well worth it x

We got Joolz aer as travel pram and love it! So handy compared to our Uppababy vista as that would never have worked for travelling...struggle to fit it round most shops!

I have joolz aer 2 for travel and uppababy v3 cruz as my main

I have the Uppababy vista but then bought the Joolz aer+ for traveling best thing I done. If you can, I would recommend you getting a travel buggy for airport and flying x

We are flying out in June and I have the silver cross cove as my main pram but getting the bugaboo butterfly2 as my travel stroller so I can keep it in the overhead cabin. Can't trust the baggage people to respect my expensive pram!!

I have the dragonfly, for travelling (as it’s only a few times a year for us) we just hire a yoyo from Baboodle! Xx

We have the yoyo and it’s great but the old style of bassinet isn’t cabin approved so you’ll have to check it anyway if you went for an older secondhand one. If I were you I’d bring your normal pram and a carrier. You can check the pram at the gate (not the bag check) so you’ll have it all through the airport and then just use the carrier on the plane and in the airport on the other side until you pick up your pram. After 6 months you might want a travel pram but I’d wait until then. My son is 17 months now and weighs a tonne so carrying him is much harder and it’s more of a priority to have the pram in cabin!

Oh and also get a bag for when they check your pram as they can get dirty otherwise.

Get a smaller travel pram

If you have the option, I would keep your buggy and buy an additional travel one. I have the bugaboo fox 5, and it is a pain carrying in/out, folding/unfolding, and can be inconvenient on buses and tubes as it's so bulky (as much as I was in denial during pregnancy).

I do love it though, as does baby so I didn't want to get rid of it. I did bite the bullet and buy the Joolz Aer 2 for travelling and tubes etc.

I still use both and no regrets 😊.

My sister had a very tall 2 1/2 year old and she did not look very comfy in the Yoyo, so you may find your bugaboo useful when baby is older.

Agree with what just said. I’ve tried a few of the cabin approved buggies and yoyo was the most uncomfortable for my toddler as he is quite a tall boy. Bugaboo butterfly and Joolz aer are much better options in my opinion x

I wouldn’t buy it purely for ease of the airport. Think about where your holiday is and what would be easier there. If it’s a city break and smaller pram would be beneficial then do it. A lot of people with cabin approved prams don’t realise a lot of airlines now make you pay to take it on board to have in the overhead. When we flew we saw 3 different families having to pay extra cause they hadn’t realised that it was classed as a cabin bag. We just came back from Spain and we took a full sized pram for my 4 month old and just used a carrier through the airport. So much easier in my opinion than having to fight it through security and carry it on and off the plane etc etc and to know she had a full sized comfortable pram for the week we were away was my preference!☺️ I personally find a lot of the compact ones quite flimsy feeling cause of how many folds they have in the frame but then I know people find them really sturdy and they quickly become an everyday pram!

We took the dragonfly through the airport and checked it at the gate / security. Wasn’t a problem. Just bring a carrier for security the other end
