Re: Which travel system to buy ?

Oh I am so so sorry ladies, I just saw the posts asking for Symbio reviews . If its not too late I will share it now :

I got mine from Babies R us for around £250 which included the car seat , carry cot and the push chair. The foot muff for the push chair and the rain cover for the car seat were included as well.
Graco Symbio Pushchair in Urban - Babies R Us - Britain’s greatest toy store

Pros :

  • Cost: we went in on the day when Babies R us had a 20% off , so that striked off almost 80 quid off the total bill + there was a price match which we got on the car seat almost another 20 quid off ! you could do the same Halfords sold the exact same car seat in lesser price and babies R us matched us their price .

  • The look: its extremely stylish and easy to manage. Nothing complicated about it. I am not a very strong person and hence hate things that require any use of power or tough buttons. Everything on the pushchair is smooth and easy to handle including folding it.

  • The weight of the folded pushchair is extremely nice and it weights so much more lesser then what I encountered on so many others in the market. so its a huge plus.

  • didnt have to buy the rain cover for the pushchair , we managed with the car seat’s rain cover , it works perfectly fine for us , almost saved us another 20 quid there !

  • the Pushchair is very smooth , the foot muff is absolute heavenly and protects the kid so much during windy , cold days .

Cons:

  • The carry cot didnt get used at all coz my son even at 6 weeks hated being laid down, he always like being held upright so car seat that could easily be attached on the Travel system was the best and the easiest option rather then the carry cot.

  • the Shopping basket is really tiny , I almost cant go shopping on my own , got to have someone with me to hold the stuff !

I love it , I have it now since nearly a year and a half and I havent at all regretted even a tiny bit on having it.
If there is anything specific you would like to know about it , please ask away and i will try to respond as best as I can .
