Mamas & Papas Navetta

Advantages: Baby can sleep in comfort & you won't need a moses basket
Disadvantages: The internal side padding can't be removed for washing

...over the other carrycot that mamas and papas do because it was a car seat. Washability. On a camping trip in a camper van i neglected to empty the cold steriliser, which when hubby braked up ended in the navetta. The sides are fabric and non removable, so there is a tide mark I just can't shift. The apron washes well. I've never tried to wash the hood! The mattress cover is removable and washable. So another advantage - you can take it on camping ...
...do wonder if the mattress has got enought oomph in it. Its a bit bottomed out, so i might buy a new one or boost it with a bit of extra foam on the bottom. A final thought - i drive a clio and didn't experience any difficulty with getting pushchair and navetta into the boot, all be it with the navetta upside down. No room for anything else though! So, buy it! Don't bother with the wicker moses basket, get the mattress, and don't bother with the ... Read review

Advantages: Acts as as a lie flat Type 0+ Car Seat; Keeps Baby snug in winter
Disadvantages: Takes up all three rear seats in the car

...a must have option. Mamas and Papas excelled themselves on the order though - we ordered in September, Thomas arrived in November and we only got the car seat kit in January. If I had written this review a week ago I would have been fuming about being sold the Navetta when the car kits were not even produced. As it is Thomas has just completed his longest journey to date and the Navetta performed brilliantly. Unlike a traditional car seat where ...
...the Navetta allows them to wriggle their arms and legs to their hearts' content to get comfortable. As a pram the Navetta has performed admirably though we couldn't for the life of us get the hood to stay up. There was nothing in the instruction manual and we thought this was down to a design fault or us simply getting a dodgy early production model. This seemed strange given the level of design excellence in all other M & P goods though none of ... Read review

Advantages: Your child can move about
Disadvantages: Expensive

...pram. I liked the mamas and papas pilko pushchair for £190 and you could buy a carrycot (Navetta) to go with it at about £160. So it helped me to decide to the buy the pushchair as well and brought the carrycot to go with it at the same time. The carrycot comes in all the materials that the pushchair comes in which it can be attach to so it can match. In some respects the carrycot it is a good buy but I feel it was just a luxury I could have done ...
...arms about but my daughter had grown out it when she was 3 months and her pushchair can be used from birth so I did not really use it. Especial if I was going out in the car as I could not get the pushchair and the carrycot in the boot of my car so never took it with me if I was going out in the car, though if I was going on the bus I would use it. I would use it in the house as somewhere for her to sleep during the day and if she fell asleep in ... Read review
