I’ve read so many web pages about pushchair and car seat compatabiity I’m none the wiser if not more confused. We have the luna mix pushchair and wanted to know what car seats are compatable with it. Thought a Maxi Cosi was but now not so sure. Help!

~ Sarah D.

Hi Sarah,

For the Luna Mix, you need to purchase the car seat adapter and you can use either Cybex Aton or the Primo Viaggio Car Seats.

You can get the Luna Mix car seat adapter for about £18. The Primo Viaggio infant carrier and Cybex Aton are both currently being sold at about £115 online. For your convenience you can click on the following links and read the product specifications from these pages:

Primo Viaggio infant carrier (£115) from Halfords

Primo Viaggio ES Black Infant Carrier from Halfords

Cybex Aton Berry (£115) from Halfords

Cybex Aton Lime (£115) from Halfords

Cybex Aton Stone (£115) from Halfords

Cybex Aton Grenadine (£115) from Halfords

Thanks for writing in – Happy shopping!

warm regards,

Ella

Hi Ella and Baby Pushchairs Reviews Team,

I’m due in a few week’s time with my second baby and I’m really confused about what baby pushchair to get.  I haven’t managed to narrow my choices but I want to be able to get my baby facing me! And obviously I’d like only those suitable from birth and can be used until my baby turns 3 or 4. I don’t mind whether it’s suitable for off-road use or not – we live in the city and the roughest terrain the pushchair will tread on is probably the park grounds. It would be nice to see all your recommendations so I’m not gonna state a budget limit -if that’s OK! Teehee!  (I wanna see the expensive ones even though darling hubby probably won’t be letting me buy anything over £500!)

Thanks so much!

Rebecca W.

Hello,
Being big and heavy runs in our family’s gene pool. Predictably, so my son who is only 14 months old is also fairly big for his age. He’s outgrowing his current stroller very quickly so I’m thinking of buying another one soon! I need one that will last him for long – any recommendations please?

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Debbie, “proud mom to big li’l James”

Hello Debbie,

Thanks for sending your question in. We’re always happy to help!

Your concern is quite common so luckily pushchair manufacturers have now caught on and are providing more and better solutions.

Here’s a list of high quality, dependable buggies and strollers suitable for toddlers who need extra room:

Micralite Toro – the seat is roomy and designed to accommodate a kid up to 4 years old. It has a maximum capacity of 18 kg (40 lbs).

Mountain Buggy does a good range of pushchairs buggies with roomy seats, too. A good example is the Mountain Buggy Swift. It’s an All Terrain Baby Stroller weighing 10 kg, but it has the capacity to take a child weighing up to 35 kg (77 lbs)! The seat is roomy enough for larger and older children.

Maclaren Baby Pushchairs are also great when it comes to durability, reliability and seat size. The Maclaren Techno XLR and Maclaren Techno XT both have good-sized seats.

Quinny Pushchairs are also known for having ample seating space. The Quinny Buzz 3 and Quinny Buzz 4 now comes with 2 seats – one for kids up to 18 months old and another seat for when they get bigger. Their Quinny Speedi SX is also known for having a big seat.

Hope this helps your big li’l James find a really good comfy pushchair!

If you have any more questions and need more guidance don’t hesitate to ask again.

Hi Ella and Team,

I’m 5′10″ and my husband is 6′4″ so we’re just wondering if you can help us narrow down our pushchair choices?

I wouldn’t mind buying the same pushchair again as it had been so reliable, but I’d rather try something different this time!

Sam, Proud Mom to Li’l Daniel

Answer:

Hi Mam Sam,

Yes this is a known issue and luckily you have more pushchairs to choose from these days. I’m only 5′5″ so most pushchairs with adjustable handles suit my height.

The ideal handle height for my husband who is 6′1″ is at about 101 -104 cm, so I think for you and your husband a pushchair that adjusts from 95 to 115 cm will be fine, but I’ve listed here some pushchairs that roughly meet that standard.  The ones in bold are those pushchairs that seem to have been made with very tall people in mind.

I’m slowly working my way to reviewing more and more Baby Pushchairs, so please read my reviews first before buying to avoid purchasing mistakes!

Ella and the Baby Pushchairs Reviews Team

Question:

Hi Ella,

I really love your site I think it’s the best pushchair review site I’ve come across in terms of both content and design, so thank you for that!

I’m just wondering if you can make a recommendation for us though? I’m 8 months preggy with our first baby so am due to pop out soon!

We live in an upstairs flat so we need a pushchair that is lightweight, and quick and easy to fold and unfold.

We don’t have much space in our flat so a pushchair that’s very small when folded is a must, and it must fit in our car which is a VW Golf. Also, ideally we’d like one that comes with a car seat!

Our budget is about £250 maximum – but something around the region of £200 or lower will be really great.

Thanks a lot, I really find your service helpful!

Jayne and bump

Answer:

Hello Jayne (and bump!),

Wow this is exciting time for you! Thank you for your kind words, and we here at BabyPushchairsReviews are all glad to know that you are finding our review site helpful.

With regards to your  question, there is one that ticks all the boxes : Graco Mosaic One Travel System. It fulfils all the criteria you mentioned, however I must warn you that the handles are not adjustable, and because of the handle height it is more suitable for people about 5′7″ or shorter. So if you or your husband are taller than that you might find the handle height a bit awkward – I’m not sure, as this will depend on your personal preference as well.

However, the Graco Mosaic One is lightweight (9 kg at the most), very compact, easy to fold and unfold, and you can get it for £200 to £250. Check the ‘Buy Now’ on our Graco Mosaic One Review and see which Merchants are selling it under £200.

If you realize that an adjustable handle is a must-have too, the alternatives that I will suggest are Jane Solo and Jane Carrera Anniversario. However, the car seats are not included in the Jane pushchairs package, so you will need to buy this extra.

I hope I’ve answered your question well, and if not feel free to get back to me and we’ll sort something out!

Good luck to you and happy Parenting!

Ella and BabyPushchairsReviews Team

Hello,

Would you be able to recommend Lightweight umbrella-type strollers that will also allow me to face my baby but will also allow me to get face the other way when she gets a bit older?

I’d like to face her and talk to her while pushing her around as it makes me feel so much more connected with her.

Thank you!

Ivana, “brand new mother to the most beautiful baby girl in the world”

Answer:

Hi Ivana,

I love your self-description there!

Here’s a list of Baby Pushchairs that folds umbrella-style and have reversible seat units so you can have the option you want. I agree that reversible seat units are ideal – it will also allow your child to face the other way when they reach that age when they get sick of looking at you (and how soon that happens is downright shocking!)

Now with regards to “lightweight” – well, that one is relative I think, as what may be considered as lightweight doesn’t necessarily feel light to some people so I think it can be a bit misleading. So I’ve indicated the actual weight of each model. I hope it helps!

Chicco Trio For Me Travel System – weighs 10.4 kg (23 lbs)

Bebe Confort Loola Up Travel System - weighs 13.6 kg

Bebe Confort Loola Travel System – weighs 13.1 kg

Inglesina Ottuto Travel System – weighs 13.2 kg

Again, note that these are umbrella-folding pushchairs only. There are many other lighter pushchairs that have reversible seat units but they fold concertina or scissor -style, NOT umbrella-style.

make sure to read our reviews first of the pushchairs mentioned before buying it so you can make an informed decision.

Good luck with your shopping and happy parenting!
