The UPPAbaby Vista: the buggy for now and the future

The quest for the perfect buggy

If you are a new parent just embarking on the quest for a pushchair, the wealth of information and range of choices can be quite daunting. You want something practical, but at the same time, you want a pram that will reflect a sense of style and enable you to retain your personality in the world of parenthood.

Early days

Practicality and convenience do become paramount when you have a new baby. The UPPAbaby Vista pushchair is suitable right from birth, with its functional yet stylish carrycot attachment. The carrycot is perfect for overnight visits to friends and family as it has a ventilated mattress, saving you the hassle and decisions involved in buying a separate travel cot. In fact, you might soon find that your baby sleeps better in the comfortable carrycot attachment than they do in an unfamiliar travel cot.

The carrycot function will suit your baby right up to six months, when they can move into the spacious, padded toddler seat with a high ride position. The toddler seat enables them to sit up in comfort, face backwards or forwards, and enjoy seeing either you, or the world around them.

Handy features

Convenience is key, and the ability to transfer a sleeping baby from the car to the pram without needing to wake or lift them is made very easy with the Maxi Cosi/Be Safe Izi Go infant car seat adapters. Adapters for these car seats are included in a bundle deal, together with raincovers, sunshades and insect nets. 

Other handy features include:

• The large basket at the base of the pram system which is spacious and easy to access and makes loading the groceries underneath the baby a breeze.
• The telescopic handle can be easily raised or lowered with one hand, and the ‘push on push off’ brake is easy to operate.

Looking ahead

The UPPAbaby Vista also has an eye to the future. Able to transport children of different ages with its capability for many different seat combinations - carrycot only, toddler seat only, pram and toddler seat, two toddler seats – you will be well future-proofed, and the clever design avoids the hassles encountered with the traditional ‘side-by-side’ double buggies.

Available in a range of bold, bright colours, the Vista combines practicality with a stylish, modern design that will last.

At BabyBabyOnline we have the new 2015 UPPAbaby Vista models available from June 2015 so why not visit our store or website now to check out these latest editions?

Introducing the Maxi-Cosi Mura Plus

If you are soon to be a first time parent and are starting to look at buying a pushchair, there are countless different brands and products to choose from, but what is most important is that you choose the pushchair that will best suit you and your baby. Maxi-Cosi is a well-established brand that has been at the forefront of the pushchair market for almost 30 years. Maxi-Cosi understand parents and babies well and provide the perfect products to help the day go smoothly whatever the occasion, all at an extremely reasonable price that doesn’t break the bank.

Priced at £350, the Mura Plus is an extremely popular pushchair that is highly durable and versatile despite its price tag. As standard, the Mura Plus package comes with the Mura Plus Pushchair (chassis and seating unit), a sun canopy, rain cover and seat adapters allowing for extra versatility. Here are some of the top features of this highly-rated pushchair:

Seating Unit – The seating unit of the Maxi-Cosi Mura Plus is designed to be extremely comfortable, safe and spacious for all babies, from newborn to toddler. The seating unit can be forward or rear facing, providing your baby the option of watching the world in front of them, or allowing for more special time with their parent on the move in the rear facing position. For new born children, the seating unit can be placed in a lie-flat position, providing ultimate support, or for older babies, the seating unit can move between a number of reclining positions to suit their comfort as they grow.

Travel System Versatility – In order to form a travel system, a separately bought carrycot or car seat from Maxi-Cosi can be fitted to the frame. All Mura Plus pushchairs are provided with adapters for travel system versatility.

Terrain Readiness and Manoeuvrability – The Mura Plus is manufactured with relatively large air filled tyres allowing it to move smoothly and comfortably over all terrains, making life easier for parents and ensuring that passengers stay comfortable. As well as featuring all-terrain wheels, in order for parents to feel comfortable as they manoeuvre their child through town or over a grassy bank, the handles can be height adjusted to suit every parent, no matter how tall or short they are.

Extras – A well designed pushchair should always include plenty of storage space, allowing parents to be out for long periods of time without having to head home for more supplies. The Mura Plus is complete with an extra-large shopping basket allowing for parents babies to be out together for longer. As we can experience various types of weather in a single day in the UK, the sun canopy and raincover included by Maxi-Cosi are absolutely essential.

Weight – Weighing in at only 15.5kg, even with a toddler in tow, the Mura Plus is still light enough for parents to manoeuvre around all day without causing undue strain. Whilst not the lightest pushchair on the market, Maxi-Cosi have designed an extremely sturdy and safe buggy.  

When it comes to choosing the right pushchair for you, the Maxi-Cosi Mura Plus covers most bases without having too adverse an effect on your bank account.

Bugaboo Vs BabyStyle – What you need to know in the battle of the pushchair brands

If you’re in the market for a new pushchair or travel system for your baby you may well be thinking about the big brands.  Many parents prefer the comfort and safety of choosing from a well-known name when it comes to baby products and they don’t get much bigger than the two ‘B’s’ of baby equipment – Bugaboo and BabyStyle.

There’s always plenty to say when pitting two big names against each other, but here’s what we think you need to know in this battle of the pushchair brands:

Crowd Pleasers

Most modern parents will have at least come across, if not owned, the most popular items in these   We refer of course here to the Bugaboo Cameleon 3 and the BabyStyle Oyster 2.

respective ranges.

The third-generation Bugaboo Cameleon goes from strength to strength and is often spotted toting celebrity babies around and because it caters from newborns to toddlers, it’s a wise investment for those looking for a stroller that will go the distance.

Equally, BabyStyle is very at home with being a fashion statement, with the Oyster 2 pushchair popular with many due to its awards, sleek styling and choice of colours.  This stroller is again, suitable from birth, and makes a sensible choice for parents looking for versatility with style combined.

 

 

 

Little Surprises

Every pushchair manufacturer has what we call the surprise model in the range – the one which perhaps you were not expecting, and when it comes to our big two, there are definitely a couple of nice shocks.  

Firstly, BabyStyle offer the Prestige collection – a traditional pram with all of the features you’d expect from a modern buggy, including multi-position configurations, rocking pram body and a removable, washable liner.

Moving onto Bugaboo, the surprise in the pack is undoubtedly the Buffalo – the gritty, robust off-roader that will tame even the most adventurous parents.  Equally at home in the city, the Buffalo is suitable from birth to 4 years and adapts to car seat, carrycots and reversible seat.

The Future

With big brand pushchair manufacturers you can always guarantee one thing – there is going to be something exciting just around the corner. Whether it’s a brand new model that meets the needs of ultra-modern parents or a re-worked classic that’s fine tuned to the needs of today’s little people, BabyStyle and Bugaboo are bound not to disappoint.  

Look out therefore, for the Bugaboo Runner, which accommodates parents who like to jog and want to make the most of their outdoor time pushing their little ones or the BabyStyle Oyster Jule – the nimble and lightweight latest addition to the Oyster family.

I don’t think we can choose between the two brands as both have so much to offer parents and have clearly built their products around the needs of the modern Mum and Dad so let’s just call it a draw.

If you can’t wait to see what’s next from either of these brands don’t forget to visit the BabyBabyOnline website where you can find the latest products at great prices.

Organise your nursery for the arrival of your bundle of joy with BabyStyle

Planning the arrival of your new bundle of joy is an exciting time. Visiting all the shops and picking out baby clothes, making sure you have all the essentials that you need; from bottles, to nappies, pushchairs and blankets - so that you can be as best prepared for your little one when they arrive.

Making room for all these baby essentials within your home may seem a task within itself, but with the right furniture you will be able to have all the room that you and your baby need; so that everything is within an arm’s reach, and you can make your life easier by having all of the essentials exactly where you will find them.

BabyStyle have a range of Bordeaux furniture, which has been designed to meet your needs as a parent, but also to provide enough space so that you can fit everything in. After all, once your baby arrives, they will receive many gifts including more clothes, shoes and other cute little bits and bobs. The BabyStyle nursery furniture range gives you the space you need for all of your little one’s belongings.

When you are out buying baby necessities, bags will quickly fill, and your hallway and bedroom will soon become familiar with the sight of nappy bags, pushchairs, and shopping bags filled with clothes, bottles, and other equipment. So it’s advisable to be as prepared as possible and organise everything, placing it in furniture within your baby’s nursery before they arrive. This will save you from rushing around, and you can take your time to become familiar with where everything is.

The BabyStyle Bordeaux collection offers timeless contemporary pieces that complement each other beautifully, to give your nursery an elegant yet tranquil feeling of relaxation. In particular, the Bordeaux dresser has large storage space to fill with clothes, and all of baby’s things. It also has enough room at the top of the dresser, which features room for changing your baby. This will save you from bending over a bed or on a floor to change your little ones nappy. In this sense the changing feature on the dresser will really work in your favour.

There is no doubt that you will be exhausted after giving birth, and will need time to recover.  The advice often given to mothers is to ‘sleep when baby sleeps.’ Whilst we all know that can be nearly impossible; due to the amount of guests and visitors who want to come over, and also due to the fact that everyone in your household is adjusting to the new baby, sleep will be much appreciated. So when you have settled your little one down, and need to go into a drawer, there is no doubt you will tip toe trying not to disturb baby.  This is where the BabyStyle Bordeaux dresser will come in handy, as it has soft closing doors which will cause no disruption to your baby whilst they are resting, giving you the time to get things sorted for yourself - and even give more of a chance for you to try to get some sleep!

The BabyStyle Bordeaux furniture collection also has a cot that can be purchased, as well as a tall Bordeaux wardrobe, so if you are someone who likes co-ordination then you can complement each piece of furniture, and have everything so that it matches, creating a homely and familiar place for your baby to sleep and grow in.
