Buying a pram or buggy is, believe me, a daunting prospect. Every new mother wants the absolute best for their little bundle of joy, and rightly so. There are so many questions hanging over your decision. Wanting the baby to be comfortable and safe is the penultimate question but there are other factors involved and the look of a pram and colour and shape as well as durability and ease of movement all come into play. There are so many makes in different shapes and sizes. My coffee table was littered with magazine after magazine of prams, buggies, travel systems etc. I settled on the Bebecar 3 in 1 system because I primarily wanted a pram base but also needed a car seat and push chair.

The 3 in 1
The whole package of the 3 in 1 costs between £500 and £600. It includes the 4 wheel chasse, the car seat and attachments, the pram base and cover and the push chair, the pram cover fits on this to keep baba warm. There are also 2 rain covers, one for the car seat, as it fits on the chasse as well, and one for the pram and push chairs
The chasse.
The chasse is very sturdy. It comes in chrome variations and black. Mine was matt chrome, basically dull silver, with a navy blue rubber handle that matched the material of the accessories. The wheels are chunky air filled tread wheels, so no slipping on those icy days. It folds down flat with the help of a red button on the handle, plus another 2 safety locks down the side, it’s very fiddly and it doesn’t go that small to be honest. To fit it into my little car I had to remove the wheels. There are wee button things on the wheels to enable them to come off. However you have to be careful as more than once I’ve been walking with the pram and the wheel has came off and went racing ahead of me!! Fairly amusing, but slightly embarrassing. The basket in the bottom of the chasse is fairly extensive and can fit a lot of shopping bags, plus your changing bag and hand bag. It’s a cloth basket as opposed to the conventional metal ones, which is a lot handier. The handle height is adjustable, which is good if you’re tall like me. It can also be adjusted to a position that doesn’t hurt your back as pushing a pram tends to be a bit of a strain.
The pram base.
The pram base is basically a carry cot shape with a detachable hood. It is navy blue with silver stitching and lined in white, so perfect for both a boy and girl. It is made for an average sized baby up to 6-9 months. It fits onto the chasse easily and securely and looks so cosy and warm I’d like to jump in there myself!!
The car seat.
The car seat is a carry car seat with a handle. It is also navy blue and silver with navy blue and silver lining and navy straps. There is a foot muff that matches it all and a navy sunshade. This was my favourite part of the whole 3 in 1 as it looks so safe and warm as well as very modern and stylish!! It can also fit on to the chasse with separate attachments so there is sometimes no need to take the pram base with you. The only thing with the car seat was that the baby couldn’t be in it for longer than 2 hours so long journeys require the pram to be taken. It comes with a removable head rest for really young tykes so their head isn’t lolling about.
The push chair.
The push chair is put aside for when the baby is too big for the pram base. It fits exactly the same as the pram and uses the detachable hood off of the pram, also using the same foot muff and rain cover as it all fits. The push chair folds down fairly small, unlike the pram base so it fits in the car a lot easier. My daughter absolutely loves her push chair and very often wants to randomly sit in it in the house. It looks lovely and comfy. It has a handle at the back which has 4 different sitting positions from lying right back when they fall asleep to sitting right up and seeing the world. The foot rest moves up and down also.
My opinion.
The whole thing looks really comfortable, cosy and warm. It’s a chunky pram/pushchair which looks and feels very safe. The material is luxury but durable and removable for washing, as well as stylish and good looking. It is perfect for both sexes. It is not water proof but it is shower proof. If you know that it’s raining or it’s really raining hard the rain cover is essential but if you’re caught on the hop once or twice and it starts raining your safe in the knowledge that your baby will be kept dry. I love my 3 in 1 and am so glad I bought this one. There are drawbacks which include it not really folding down small enough for the car so the seats had to be put down. Also it is not very practical for going about the shops as it is one of the bigger styles with really big wheels. A lot of shops do not accommodate. It’s fine in the bigger department stores however and perfect for longer journeys as it’s more comfortable for the baby and they can fall asleep a lot easier than in a buggy. I also found it great for really cold days as it’s really reassuring that the baby is warm enough. I have had to buy a buggy for going on holidays because it would be a lot harder to take this on a plane. For short journeys the buggy is more practical and for smaller cars also. It last from newborn till it isn't needed anymore so from around newboren to 3/4, looking at it that way it's very good value for money. The only thing you will have to buy is a car seat after about 9 months. I would highly recommend this 3 in 1 especially for newborns. It keeps them safe and warm and makes them comfortable after the shock of being in the big bad world.

Advantages: Attractive Disadvantages: Nightmare to dismantle
I got this pram 5 years ago just before my son was born, i thought it was a little expensive, cost around £370 but people kept reminding me that the pram would do for the next baby i had, that was 5 years ago and i still aint sure if i want another one :o) !! When i got the pram home i was surprised at just how many boxes it came in... 3 large boxes !! I had expected just 1 box... I left the assembling of the pram to my dad, im sure i heard loads ... ...when it was finished it looked great, didn't give the impression of being very comfortable looking though. So just to make it a little more comfortable i got some blankets for him to lie on.
The carrycot was nice and roomy for my son to sleep in and lie in until he was about 6 months old... he liked to sleep in the carrycot more than his cot, don't know why... it must have been snug and relaxed for him !!
When he was big enough to sit up i had ...

Advantages: looks good and very comfy for babies Disadvantages: not so good once they get past the lying down stage
as soon as i saw this pram i knew i wanted it, it looks really good and has a large comfy carrycot.
i bought this for my third child (after my previous pram had some unfixable damage)
i had the multipla air tyres chassis which is great for walking as its really large and easy to steer however its no good to try and fit into a car and was abit large for some shops but it did have a good size shopping basket
my daughter was very comfy in the carrycot ... ...was excellent, the only drawback to the carry cot that i found was the raincover wasnt all that great if it was very heavy rain and once it got very wet round the base while caught in a downpour. to overcome this i bought a cheep one from thercare that fits all 3 in 1 prams and i was sorted
i was disappointed that the pushchair seat didnt come with a cover of its own and you had to use the top cover from the pram (not sure if this is for all models ...

Quick review of Bebecar 3 in 1 Pram
I bought this because I don't drive so I wanted something sturdy that had plenty of space for shopping and I wanted my baby to be able to lie completely flat when newborn. This was great for that and then when she was 5 months I switched it to pushchair mode. It's good having the baby face you, which isn't possible in most pushchairs, so you can see that they're OK and reassure them when they get upset. It's rather too cumbersome for someone who wants to get it in cars all the time although it is very easy to fold when you need to and it's easy to adjust the reclining back. Also it's easy to get up kerbs which my little buggy isn't. ...

Advantages: beautifulto look at,comfortable and smooth to push Disadvantages: handle height+grip,mudguards,hood when attached to child seat and folded height
the bebecar 3in1 pram with the grand style chassis was purchased just a few days before the expected date i as due to give birth ,in the pram center in glasgow. the entire pram which included carrycot,child seat,cosytoes,raincover,changing bag and of course the grand style chassis cost just a smidge under £500 pounds.the pram altogether is beautiful and expensive looking with 4 different designs to choose from.it is smooth and comfortable to push.now ... ...this pram much better:the handle would be better 3-4 inches higher (although i'm only 5'2 wearing heels means bending over slightly), the mudguards could be better especially if they didn't rub against the wheels. the hood when attached to the child seat does not stay buttoned and keeps falling back behind the seat and finally if the pram would fold lower to the ground without having to be completely dismantled that would be fantastic because if ...

Advantages: Roomy carrycot, sturdy, good suspension, durable, easily cleaned, attractive, versatile, Disadvantages: Fixing carry cot to chassis is tricky, not good for travel in car etc
My Bebecar 3 in 1 (bought 1999) has just seen me through my 2nd child. Baby starts in the pram which can then be separed from chassis for sleeping, when baby is bigger, the pushchair bit is then used - hence 3 in 1. It cost me £350~ and is well worth it. I bought mine from independent nursery shop selling end of season items. I think you could get this in any major dept store, I know it is available on some nursery websites.
Apart from the superb ... ...in as excellent condition as ever. I chose this one for it's traditional but modern style and appearance and especially comfort for my baby and me pushing it - this pram (and later pushchair) gave me both. My babies slept in the carrycot during the day and had plenty of room to spread out. It's all machine washable so it's easy to keep clean and fresh. When my children were toddlers, it was like pushing them around in their own chariot - the suspension ...
