Nikko R/C Volvo BTCC Touring

Advantages: accessories, ease of use, price
Disadvantages: for some the size might be a put-off

...has a clock and temperature reader. At any point in my journey I can just look down and check the time or when standing outside the school I can know just who cold it is! The wheels turn easily and smoothly. It used to be that some 4-wheel buggies were hard to navigate but this one has no trouble turning a corner. Just to give you an idea I was in town today with my usual Starbucks in one hand and piloting the buggy with the other. I purchased my Graco travel system from Babies R Us for £260 and there was a promotion to get the £100 accessories pack free. There are various Quattro Tour systems and at very different prices. I think the cheapest of which is around £150. The accessories pack made it so I had the buggy itself, the car seat, one car base, changing bag, foot cosy, carrycot attachment, and rain cover. Was a great deal and I saw... Read review

Advantages: Everything you nedd at a good price!
Disadvantages: Very heavy

...and tested them, and decided on a Graco Tour Deluxe. My criteria wasn't that complicated. I needed a pram that: 1) Was suitable from birth 2) Had a car seat 3) Wasn't umbrella fold 4) Had a carry cot or carry cot insert. This pram had all of the above.

Advantages: very sturdy, easy to put up, excellent car seat base
Disadvantages: buggy quite heavy and bulky

...The Quattro Tour Deluxe was excellent value for money because unlike many of the other travel systems I looked at, this one came with a car seat base which was a real help as they can be quite expensive to purchase on their own. The system comes with: Car Seat - which acts as part of the buggy too Car seat base buggy unit with temperature and time settings, good size storage bag underneath, drink and up holders, baby tray, break system and wheel locks. Additional baby carrier to sit into the buggy so that your baby can lay flat in the buggy. The main advantages of the system I have found so far are: 1) The buggy has a great mechanism for folding the unit away which you can operate with one hand (after a bit of practise) 2) It is very sturdy and has a lot of padding which I found very reassuring as I had a very small baby...
