Cosatto Ooba Travel System 2014 Range - Ooba Travel System

Product Information

I’ve never been one of those mums, you know, who are really in to their prams. I’ve go a couple of friends who go through a different pram every six months but for me it’s never been that important ( changing bags, on the other hand…). I had my Bugaboo Bee+ for Elfie and when Hux arrive the fleet expanded by a double Phil + Teds. I’ve always been pretty happy with these two, they get the job done without any fuss – what more could we want? I really am glad that I have been given this chance of working with Cosatto and reviewing theCosatto Ooba 3-in-1 Travel System as I have fallen head over heels in love with it and I adore getting to go out and push Joseph about in the pram. The Ooba certainly stands out amongst its peers. It is striking! The chassis is colour coded to match the wheels – even the tyres are white, matching the chassis, the whole thing just looks ‘right’. The harness is 5 point with crotch and chest protectors. It is simple to adjust and you can do it up one side at a time, one handed, which is great when trying to deal with a reluctant child. There are 2 positions for the shoulder straps which can be altered via the rear zipped access panel. Simply select from the drop down – choose from square, round or combi end. A combi end is a square ended mattress that is rounded/clipped so it is in-between the round and the square ended mattress.

What you do get though is a pushchair that will stand out from the crowd, something new and something that is clearly ‘on trend’. In a nutshell: so far, so good. The Ooba looks fantastic, is a pleasure to push and does the job. Full marks. Stay tuned for the next stage of our Very Scientific testing method, which involves a day out (possibly with sand?), a time trial for folding/unfolding and more info on just how well those glorious white wheels are holding up. So with all this in mind our Baby Birds designers set out to offer a mattress that is as natural as possible without an expensive price tag. Giggle Quad with ‘Seedling’ design is intended for the Cosatto Hold group 0+ car seat (adaptors included) Standard Pram; Rounded End, Standard Pram – Square End, Large Pram – Rounded End, Large Pram – Square End.

Whats good?

Why do I need a new mattress? At Baby Birds we recommend new baby, new mattress’ there has been many researches on babies and their sleeping environment. The Lullaby Trust is a British charitable organisation aiming to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health. What is a Baby Birds SAFE Organic Pram and Crib Mattress? The Cosatto Ooba Travel System is a brilliant ‘all in one’ pushchair option, with a carrycot, car seat and a ‘big seat’ for toddlers and older babies. It has an adjustable handle feature and big shopping basket, and comes with a changing bag, foot muff and rain covers for both the seat and the carrycot.

It also comes with a removable apron and a carry handle built into the hood to make it easy for transportation. The liner is removable and washable for easy laundering. The Travel system we have here comes complete with Cosatto’s Hold car seat. It is a good looking seat in coordinated colours. You have the option of a belt or ISOFIX base and there is a babynest insert for very little ones. The Lullaby Trust is a British charitable organisation aiming to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health. Here is a list of some of their recommendations; So, first impressions? Like I said, this is a looker of a pram. If it were a man it would be a Bradley Cooper.I love that it’s also a high pram, making me feel empowered navigating pavements and parks alikes and also offers Alexander a great view too. It is well documented that chemicals used in foam mattresses can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. So Baby Birds have produced their own range of chemical free baby mattresses. A long pram too, means that although Alexander is a tall 19 month old, he will have at least another year and a half of pram time with the Ooba. The seat is incredibly comfy and the straps easy to do up, a must when you’re wearing gloves/have cold hands/a wriggly toddler. Because Hux is a stubborn thing and doesn’t like to sleep when he’s in the pram (he prefers to grumble annoyingly because Mama is trying on yet another pair of jeans) we haven’t tested the recline capability so much, but Elfie loves to ‘pretend’ with it. Why do I need a new mattress? At Baby Birds we recommend new baby, new mattress’ there has been many researches on babies and their sleeping environment.

To unfold, simply lift up the handle and swing out the front wheels. Install the seat and off you go. Conclusion The Cosatto brand has become synonymous with creative, bouncy, colourful design lifting their products onto a different plane from most other brands out there. The Cosatto Ooba is their attempt to break into the high end pushchair market. Does is cut the mustard (or should I say Marzipan)? Find out in our Cosatto Ooba review. Chassis With instructions, the system is easy to set up (albeit time consuming) and interchanging between all the different options is effortless. The chairs are roomy and comfortable, and neither the car seat nor the travel system (as a whole) is too heavy. Kerbs can be a challenge but this is more likely a result of wheel positioning than weight. The Baby Birds organic pram mattress are our very own chemical free range of baby pram carry cot mattresses. They have a removable cover which is machine washable.

Whats not so good?

When you baby reaches 6 months of age, transform the travel system into a pushchair with the seat unit, which can be either inward or outward facing, and boasts a multi-position recline and leg rest for comfortable travelling. Love the shot below so much I’ve used it again on the blog-protective big brother Oliver pulls up the hood! The hand brake is not convenient (a bit stiff and difficult to use in a rushed moment); a foot brake would definitely be a preferable option, and it might also be a good idea to rethink the white wheels, which are filthy in seconds. It does have good suspension and is good on all terrains – and a clever idea to change the direction of the handlebar so that the larger wheels are at the front when using the pushchair off road. The safest place for a baby to sleep is in their own cot, moses basket or crib in the same room as you. Easy to transform, the Ooba can be used in carrycot, pushchair or infant car seat mode (Port car seat available separately).

When Alexander finally awoke, he and Oliver had a little run around the gardens together and were fascinated by the Tour de France sculptures! The all-round suspension on the chassis provides a comfortable ride for baby and parent and the flip-over handlebar allows you to navigate over rough terrain with ease. The Cosatto Ooba chassis has great functionality it is clear that time has been spent to ensure that it will do everything a mum (or dad) could want. It is a shame that the Ooba cannot quite meet the, admittedly, very high quality level of the other brands in this price range. Seat We have shown which model of pram the mattress will suit, however most will be multi-fit so they will suit others brands. The Baby Birds SAFE Organic Pram and Crib Mattress are our very own chemical free range of baby pram carry cot mattresses. They have a removable cover which is machine washable. It is well documented that chemicals used in foam mattresses can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. So Baby Birds have produced their own range of chemical free baby mattresses.I can hand on heart announce that the Ooba is the finest, prettiest, most luxurious pram I’ve ever used and we do have quite the collection of prams to compare it to.
