Prams / travel systems

Hi mamas 💕

I was hoping to do an appointment in person to see how prams worked.

However, I’ve had a difficult pregnancy where I went on for a follow up scan at 22 weeks which resulted in a 6 week stay in hospital. I’m now back at home but fully on strict bedrest (just going to hospital appts only). Gutted my pregnancy isn’t what I expected but happy I’ve reached 28 weeks now 🥰

Any recommendations of prams/travel systems? We are having this one thing gifted, so ideally I’d like to try buy in Black Friday Sales for a good deal.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏼

We got the UPPAbaby Cruz v3 pushchair and maxi cosy pebble car seat from groovy styles in berkhamstead which are a really nice family run company and are so friendly on emails of you want advice. They also do amazing bundle deals xxxx

We’ve got Nuna Mixx Next, so far very happy with it. It folds easy, not super heavy, got a nice suspension plus looks good 🤗

We picked a Nuna Triv Next after gettings hands on with a few. Folds up easily and small enough for our tiny boot (and bassinet folds up too), and is very light/easy to move - preferred it over Cosatto for this.

Something heftier like the Mixx would be better if you plan to do more trail walks than paved. Triv Next also doesn't convert to a double if that's important to you.

Rest well!! <3

What's your life style?.I think this is the biggest question when you are shopping for prams you want a pram that adjusts to your life not the other way around.

For example I live in London and will be relying on the buses and tube a lot, I'm petite, so I wanted something light weight (under 7kg), something that was a one hand fold for taking it up and downstairs, or folding it when the bus is packed and needed to be suitable from birth....so Based on this I narrowed it down to the yoyo, the mamas & papas libro, the joolz aer2 and the Cybex Orfeo. Opted for the Cybex orfeo in the end and I love it!

But I really recommend you look at your needs and then start researching a pram based on that.

help :(

hi 🤍 ftm to my almost 2 month old. i choose to breastfeed and bottle feed but i don’t have a consistent schedule. i’ve been doing either or, based upon the time
of day, how much milk i have stored, or how fussy my baby is. i also co-sleep at times but other times he will sleep in his bassinet. but now im realizing the only way he is soothed is by being on my chest or immediately getting breastfed or by the bottle (eating.) i cant really sit him down anywhere anymore for more than 5-10 minutes before he starts crying again. he also doesn’t really rely on pacifiers or like being in his swing that long anymore (he used to love it without crying). i love that he’s attached to me, but i also want to know how to have him be soothed in other ways for when i choose to stop breastfeeding, put him in his crib in his room, travel and need family to watch him, need to run an errand, do anything around the house, etc. any tips or ideas ?

11 week old

Any advice my baby is attached to me to the hip she doesn’t want to take any type of formula or even bottle ! Momma struggling 🥹🥺

New pushchair/ stroller

I’m fed up of lugging round the travel system so am looking at using the bugaboo butterfly 2 as my only pushchair.

Would you recommend?

No sleep

Anybody else's nights look like this? She was doing the odd 3 hour stint but the last 2 weeks we have been on an hour and 15 minutes being the longest spell. She then wakes up at 4am for an hour or more and just cries or babbles loudly.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Looking for light at the end of the tunnel 😭She's turned 6 months today and isn't teething so I imagine this is another regression.

Baby HATES getting changed

I'm tired of wrestling a baby crocodile!!! I actually dread the moments where I need to change his clothes or change his nappy because he scream cries and wrestles me off - to the point where I lose my cool and get super stressed. And he has an absolute meltdown when it comes to putting on clothes.
Ive tried giving him household items and toys, I've tried singing, I've tried playing games to make it fun..... What else is there to try??

6 week milestones

my little one is 6 weeks 3 days and isn’t smiling yet. whenever he is not asleep he is crying and never seems to be happy. my eldest is now 5 years old so I can’t remember if that’s still normal at this age! anyone else?
