Larger stroller, smaller fold

In a world where space saving engineering is key, the Oyster 3 may be larger than the Oyster 2: it sits higher, has a larger footprint, larger turbine wheels and even takes a 20kg child. To make life easier, the Oyster 3 fold is exceptionally compact for its size and it folds with the seat unit attached. There is also a retractable carry handle, making it easier to handle, whether storing away or on public transport.

Versatility This is a stroller that in pushchair mode, will fold with the seat in both the forward and rear-facing positions. Removing and refitting the seat is both easy and ergonomic; simply reach and pull up the strap nestled between the seat and backrest and lift. The seat also has a full ‘lie-flat recline’ (in both positions) making it suitable from birth, a 5-point safety harness with both shoulder pads and a headrest for extra comfort, and an unzip extendable canopy featuring UV 50+ protection, a pull-out sun visor and ventilation net for hot summer days.

Design Engineering The beautifully crafted Oyster 3 chassis is available in either the popular City Grey or Mirror. It is intricately finished with a hand-stitched bumper bar and handle, which features a telescopic adjustment design. BabyStyle have integrated an ultra-smooth ride with new larger turbine design wheels housed by ER-foam filled tyres that are both highly durable and puncture-free. Oyster 3 also features a softer suspension for multi-terrain outings as well as swivel front wheels, which are lockable via a single switch.

What’s really impressive about Oyster 3 is the fact the it grows with the passenger from baby to child; there are two release buttons on the edge of the hood that when pressed simultaneously allows the parent to adjust the height of the canopy and harness without touching the straps.

Modestly magnificent: A full expert review of the Babystyle OYSTER 3 stroller

Beautiful, completely renewed, versatile. Completely different - larger and more luxurious, yet "of the same blood" as its predecessors. All this (and more) is the new Oyster 3 by British Babystyle , one of the most anticipated 2018/2019 models.

+ easy handling + quietly luxurious design + elaborate details + comfortable seat unit + stylish materials with easy maintenance + practical adjustment of roof height + harness belts + well-positioned peek-a-boo / ventilation window + nice, soft suspension system + stones don't get stuck in the wheels + well-designed, spacious shopping cart + compact folding and stroller width of only 57 cm

- noisy handle - not-so-low weight - the sun visor on the hood could be better-made - future scratching of the hood rim or the silver plastic parts of the wheels - harness padding (sliding down) - almost impossible to use a seat liner due to the design of the headrest - narrow carrycot

And in long ;-)

The Oyster 3 stroller was released by the popular British company Babystyle. It is their third version of the flagship Oyster model, pretty much representing the company's philosophy of stroller making. Compared to its older brother - the Oyster 2, the third generation is quite different, but at the same time sharing all-around functionality, the sturdy and quality-looking chassis, and luxurious details.

Out of all strollers, I was asked about this one the most. This may be an indicator of how impatiently everyone was waiting for it to hit the market. Although the Oyster 3 was officially released in Q4 of 2018, it really became widely available at the start of 2019. I have decided to answer as many of the questions as I can by creating a complete, detailed review after in-depth testing, measuring, and trying the Oyster 3 stroller everywhere I possibly could.

The Configurability

Let me start by describing the possible configurations of the Oyster 3. If you buy the stroller only - apart from the seat unit and the chassis, out of all accessories, only a rain cover is included. The Oyster 3 is also available as a 2in1 stroller system , which consists of the stroller, the carrycot, a rain cover, and a mosquito net.

The 3in1 stroller system bundle includes the stroller, the carrycot, the Carapace Infant (i-Size) car seat with correspondent adapters, a rain cover, a mosquito net, a footmuff, a changing bag, and possibly an Isofix base for the car seat. The footmuff, the changing bag, the carrycot, the car seat, the car seat adapters(compatible with the Babystyle car seat as well as with other well-known car seat brands with Maxi-Cosi type attachments), and the sibling board are also available to purchase separately.

The Carrycot

We have tested the stroller configuration only. Because my youngest child is almost 2-years-old and has outgrown the carrycot, I can only look and touch to review the carrycot - not exactly use it fully. Despite this limitation, the carrycot seemed comfortable. With the length of the mattress of 73 cm and the width of 30 cm, it is not the most spacious one, but not small either.

I am confident to say that it is usable until the baby reaches four to six months, depends on the size of the baby and time of the year. A six-month-old child in a winter footmuff may struggle for space a bit unless he or she is on the smaller side.

The depth of the carrycot is excellent, though - making your child fully protected against any weather. The length of the hood is adequate, as the carrycot is quite deep. The elevated apron can be pulled up slightly, providing extra protection as well as shade. I would still appreciate a higher one, or at least a prolongation of the carrycot hood (for example, with a sun visor).

The Car Seat

I don't have a lot to say about the car seat, we never used the Babystyle Oyster Carapace. The ADAC test results was not the most positive, however; the car seat actually failed them. Of course, like with any other car seat, you will have to pay more if you choose the Isofix base option. The padding of this car seat seems comfortable enough - the materials are similar to the Plus-line car seats from Cybex, while the hood will remind you of Maxi-Cosi car seats.

Alternatively, you can buy other brands, tested and renowned for their safety. Although the Carapace Infant (i-Size) looks luxurious, the price tag is not too extravagant (approximately 115EU) for an ADAC-failing car seat.

The Stroller (features)

Let's continue with the stroller since it will be used the longest and encompasses the most elaborated functions. The weight of 12 kg is not too low, but not too high either. It is just about right compared to the functionality of the stroller. If you have to carry the stroller very often, you may struggle a bit, though. Even petite moms will manage the occasional lifting and loading of the Oyster 3, but I would avoid taking it to the eighth floor every day.

When pushing it, its weight is not noticeable; the stroller's driving abilities are excellent. Because the center of the stroller is quite high, the Oyster 3 is easy to maneuver even with a heavier child, and even allows an occasional one-handed push through uneven terrain. Negotiating curbs is not a problem - with the child facing me, I barely noticed I am lifting the thing. It is also comfortable with the child facing forward, but you need to find yourself a suitable height of the handlebar .

If you put it too high, the lifting of the front part of the stroller over a curb could be quite tricky. I have to mention - the ability to pop up a curb is essential to me; we have a lot of them in my neighborhood. I already went through many strollers, one of the reasons being that I hate fighting with each curb on my way.

Returning to stroller features, though, I truly appreciated its height. I am quite a tall person (176 cm), and I wasn't kicking the stroller while walking, which is a big pro for me.

The last 'general' characteristic of the Oyster 3 I would like to emphasize is its overall look. The stroller looks robust, without being bulky; elegant, without the need to constantly care about keeping it clean and luxurious, without being too loud about it. The Oyster 3 is, briefly said, modestly magnificent. It is an excellent solution for modern, urban parents looking for a practical yet chic addition to their lifestyle.

The Handlebar

Looking at the stroller from above, the first you will see is the handlebar. The handlebar is height-adjustable telescopically, which you will activate using a central push button. It literally takes seconds. According to my measurements, the height range of the handlebar is from 99 to 109 cm.

Unlike many other strollers with a central button on the handle, the Oyster 3 button doesn't get in your way when pushing the stroller with one hand. With four different height options available, parents of every will be comfortable. With my height of 176 cm, I have actually preferred the second-lowest position. Therefore, I presume that the highest position of the handlebar should be fine, even for the tallest of dads. The handlebar is covered in a pleasant-to-touch, stylish structured leatherette, similar to snakeskin design-wise. The same material can be found on the bumper bar.

The handlebar has quite a give, and the telescopic adjusting also contributes to a slight rattling, especially going over bumpy terrain. I would call this area the noisiest part of the stroller, and if you can't tolerate such sounds, the Oyster 3 is probably not for you.

Another part of the stroller visible from above is the hood. We loved the beautiful melange material that even features UV protection. At first, the basic form of the hood seems small, but when you unzip the additional panel and/or use the sun visor, it is rather big. Once the hood is extended and the seat in an upright position, the child is fully protected. With the seat reclined fully, the hood is adequate, but - when the sun is low (e.g., in the morning or afternoon), it can get to your napping little one from certain angles. This is a common situation in almost every stroller, where the hood moves with the backrest. I expected that the hood would be much shorter, so it was a pleasant surprise after all.

Nonetheless, I have a few reservations about the canopy. The reinforced sun visor could be an advantage as well as a disadvantage because after folding the stroller, it does get slightly squashed. If I could change the hood, I would for sure make it even bigger - in terms of hoods, "the bigger, the better" certainly applies.

The sun visor could be longer - I'd even double it in size, which would sort out that small issue with the hood size in the reclined state. Moreover, the metal hood rim looks luxurious, but because of the nature of its surface, it will be scratched eventually after repeated loading into the car.

The ventilation window is well placed, quiet, and practical - not only it provides airflow, but also a great view of the child. With the hood folded down, however, you need to push the fabrics inwards manually. Otherwise, it looks a bit untidy. The last small disadvantage: the hood of the model we have tested didn't hold as tight as I would have liked and fell off a few times during folding. This could be just a defect of only our stroller, not a general con.

A unique function of the hood / the seat unit is the option to adjust the height of the hood, done by pushing the side buttons, then manually moving. This will also change the height of safety belts and the padded head support cushion. A fabulous function, useful for small children - closer to the hood, they are more protected and shaded. Older children will have plenty of space later, after lifting it.

My almost 2-year-old son, Ferdinand preferred the elevated position, but we could use it in the lowest one too. When it comes to space, the stroller will be comfortable for a child up to 3-years-old, maybe even longer - if your little one is not too tall.

The Seat Unit

As a matter of fact, the seat unit is not small. With the backrest height of 49 cm, the conventional (non-bucket-type) seat unit is, size-wise, appropriate. The seat may seem a bit narrow (the inner width is 30 cm), but it provided enough comfort for a bigger child as well. Of course, not with a thick winter footmuff! A basic, not-so-huge footmuff will fit, though. The seat depth of 25.5 cm is quite nice (above average). When fully reclined, the total length of the seat is 92.5 cm, which is very acceptable, in my opinion.

During our testing, the fully reclined position seemed comfortable. You may, however, find that the feet of bigger children will be sticking out a little. You can push the lower part upwards so the sides of the seat are not putting pressure on the feet. Ferdi often leaned sideways, mainly because he is used to a bucket-type of seat. The sudden amount of space surprised him, and he wanted to try how far he can slide.

If there is any room for improvement regarding the size of the seat unit, I would only maybe make the leg rest even longer. Alternatively, an option to extend the leg rest, which one can see, for example, in the Joolz strollers, would also be xa great idea.

The harness

To provide maximum comfort for every child, the length of the safety harness belts is fully adjustable in a vast range of lengths. You'll find there is, however, a puzzle system of closing the buckle, where the plastic ends of both belts have to be connected before being pushed into the buckle. It needs a little nudge to get in, but it is actually a positive side since it increases safety - the child won't open the buckle by itself.

The puzzle method comes with its pros and cons. One of the advantages is the ease of using the 5-point harness, also in the form of 3-point if you prefer so. Installing the footmuff or the seat liner (even with the conventional holes for each belt) into the seat is also more comfortable. As for disadvantages, securing the seat belts can be quite tricky, especially when the child is not sitting still. The system of the lower (hip) belts surprised me, though. It is quite loose to move right and left so that you can pull it sideways. I have realized that it makes the closing of the buckle and adjusting the belts much more comfortable; as you pull out the side, you need to buckle in.

The padding of the seat belts is soft, but the shoulder pillows can get loose once the belts are open. Be prepared that you will have to return all the individual shoulder and crotch pads into the place every time you take the child out of the seat. There is also a chance you will lose them if not careful enough. If you were using the harness in the 3-points form, for example, for an older child, I would recommend removing the top pads completely and leaving them at home.

The bumper bar

The bumper bar is quite usual. We have frequently used its gate-opening function, allowing the child to hop in or out of the seat. Its placement - the height and the distance from the backrest - are ideal. The little one was holding onto the bumper bar comfortably, without the need of leaning forward or struggling to reach it.

The fabrics

I have to praise the look of the lovely, easy-to-clean textiles. The padding is soft, and the child is sitting like on a cloud. The black parts of the stroller - the shopping basket and the space around the leg rest - may, nevertheless, get dirty quite quickly. Any bits of dirt are, indeed, quite visible on dark material. Luckily, you can clean them easily as well.

The Chassis

Although the aluminum frame looks robust, the Oyster 3 will fit through narrow alleyways without problems. For making sure of its capabilities, we went to shopping malls during our testing, and the Oyster 3 survived even the sale season. We have also managed to get on and off the bus fuss-free.

Initially, folding the chassis may look complicated because it involves several steps. By folding the stroller the third time, I have realized how fast and uncomplicated the whole process, in fact, is.

Once the hood and the handlebar are pushed back/down to their base position, just fold the backrest towards the front of the stroller, then use the levers on each side of the handlebar to flip it forwards. Lift the stroller by holding the handle located on the lower part, and 'you're done. This handle can also be used to carry the stroller or for loading it in the car boot.

With the wheels in the correct position (slightly sideways), the Oyster 3, once folded, is freestanding. For that, the handle features rubber parts that prevent scratching the leatherette. The stroller comes with a side locking clip, which is today almost a must. Sometimes you will need to help it a bit and push it some more to activate it, though.

Given the weight and dimensions of the stroller, the fold (even with the seat still attached) is rather compact, which, for me, is a great advantage. I 'don't think there is a car boot too small for the Oyster 3. Nevertheless, if you still need to save some space, you can take all four wheels off. I didn't have to.

All four wheels are made of quality EVA foam. Even after tackling various terrain, there was no sign of a hole or pieces of gravel stuck to the wheels. Each wheel features individual suspension - front wheels, the anti-shock system; rear wheels, the cantilever system also found in the smaller, very popular Oyster Zero. In theory, you can rock the stroller slightly, but it is far from the rocking of the traditional, retro-style stroller.

All in all, the stroller's suspension is mainly a shock-absorbing system here, and I think it's of high quality. Crossing the tram line? No problem. The wheels are as quiet as foam wheels can be. Over a more extreme terrain, you will be able to hear a slight rubbing of material against the material.

Apart from this and the handlebar sounds mentioned earlier, I think the Oyster 3 is a quiet stroller.

Locking the front wheels when you need to go through demanding terrain is easy thanks to the simple, single lever located in the middle of the front axle. Although it sounds unimportant, being able to lock the front wheels by just one movement made my life more comfortable and made me actually use this function. I have to admit - usually, I almost never use it! :-)

I can say that the Oyster 3 proved to manage on difficult terrain - we have done a bit of off-road and went through grass and gravel. Of course, don't expect a smooth ride all along since it certainly is a predominantly urban stroller .

When it comes to snow (recently, a frequent question related to stroller features), I don't believe the Oyster 3 is made for tackling it. I presume that deep snow would be challenging, although this is true for almost any other stroller. Hardened, already walked-on snow or cleared winter pavements won't defeat this stroller, though.

Another technical detail I will mention is the diameter of the wheels - front 19 cm, rear 28 cm. The eye-catching 'turbine' design of the spokes with their silver rims add to the stylish look of this stroller.

The shiny parts' design is a bit too much for me, I'm afraid. And with it, I am also worried that with every day's wear and tear, they may get scratched and eventually lose their charm. I prefer only the matt finish, but that is just a matter of personal taste.

To stop the stroller from moving, there is a "cradle" style central foot brake on the rear bar, meaning you only operate it from above. This type of brake mechanism is easy while not damaging your shoes.

The storage basket - a vital part of every stroller - sports dimensions of 48 x 39 x17 cm (length x width x depth). Even not looking at the numbers, it is relatively large. I wouldn't call it massive, but it easily handled a load of shopping and three winter jackets for kids (true story). I appreciate its accessibility as well as the elevated sides, ensuring that you will not lose anything.

The smaller pocket , which is a part of the basket, is ideal for storing small items or a rain cover. I found a secret pocket on the underside of the leg rest, which I would suggest, for example, to store a mosquito net (if you bought a stroller set where it is included).

Another thing - the rear part of the shopping basket is covered in leatherette. This not only looks great, but it makes it more durable, preventing fast wear and tear that usually happens in this area. It also makes it easy to wipe-clean if you kick the basket and get it dirty when, for example, using the brake.

The only question is, whether the leatherette won't crackle over time. Important notice before folding the stroller - the shopping basket has to be empty or almost empty; otherwise, the fold won't complete properly. Therefore, I used to put my shopping into reusable bags, which I then took out of the shopping basket and loaded into the car before folding the stroller.

THE SUMMARY

To summarize: I would recommend the Oyster 3 for the role of an urban, from-birth stroller system the most. When your child outgrows the carrycot and you are looking for a stroller, you usually need something even smaller and lighter anyway. The Oyster 3 is excellent for first- as well as for multiple-times parents looking for a versatile solution. It will meet their needs on urban walks, outdoor walks, and even on shopping trips and will last them from the start until the end of the child's stroller days. The Oyster 3 was never intended to appeal to off-road fans or joggers, but it has a lot to offer for the "common" parents.

If I had to use a percentage to rate my personal feeling about the stroller, I would give it 85 %. This number also underlines the fact that, although the luxurious appearance, the Oyster 3 is relatively affordable compared to the other high-end brands. I would also say that when it comes to price-performancece ratio, the Oyster 3 is one of the top models in its category.

The competition to think about when thinking about an Oyster 3 would be perhaps a Mutsy Nio , an Easywalker Harvey3 (an Easywalker Harvey2 full review here if interested to compare the strollers), an Uppababy Cruz or the more luxurious-looking Cybex Priam 3 or the Bugaboo Fox . It always depends on your stroller priorities when choosing a stroller and considering different stroller features , and, of course, the budget and style expectations of the parents.

Oyster 3 sumary in numbers (dimensions, measurements recap)

Dimensions - unfolded: 109x57x77 cm Dimensions - folded: 70x57x37 cm Handlebar height: 99-109 Seat unit dimensions: 49 cm (backrest), 30 x 26 cm (sitting surface), 85 cm (laying surface length) Internal carrycot dimensions - mattress: 73x30 Front wheel diameter: 18 cm ~ 6.7 inch Rear wheel diameter: 28 cm ~ 10 inch Shopping basket dimensions: 48 x 39 x17 cm Seat unit weight capacity: 22 kg Basket weight capacity: 2 kg

This is an unpaid review describing the advantages as well as the disadvantages of the Babystyle Oyster 3 stroller system, and it is based solely on my own experience. The aim was to provide honest information for moms thinking about purchasing this (or any other) stroller.

An ultra-versatile all-rounder, the Oyster 3 seat unit has a lie-flat recline so is suitable from birth should you need it. Though the seat unit of the Oyster 3 can be used from birth, this bundle also includes a carrycot to use on your pushchair chassis.

The BabyStyle Oyster 3 is suitable right up to 22kg, which is great compared to lots of strollers only tested to 15kg. The clever magnetic harness, hood and headrest are all connected and adjust simultaneously by squeezing the buttons at each side of the hood. They can then be moved up and down together to adjust the height needed, much better than having to re-thread!

The hood is large and features an additional section that can be unzipped for great coverage. There is also a flip-out sun visor at the front and it offers UPF50+ protection. The canopy has a ventilation section towards the back, which is really useful in hotter weather, and can also be used as a peek-a-boo window. The hood is finished with a metal trim to coordinate with the pushchair chassis.

The calf-rest at the bottom of the seat can be propped up for younger babies and nap times or lowered back into position to accommodate an older child. Underneath the calf-rest there is a zip-open pocket, ideal for small essentials or an insect net accessory.

The detachable leatherette bumper bar is gate opening and swings out of the way easily when getting baby in and out. The seat unit can be attached both parent and world facing and it is so easy to remove it from the chassis. Simply pull the handle strap in the base of the seat with one hand and lift up!

Large with chrome-effect rims, the wheels have rubber feel tyres that are foam filled. Durable and puncture proof, they offer a smooth ride with the built in, all round suspension. The front wheels swivel or can be locked in to position for rougher terrain using the handy switch at the bottom of the footrest. The brake is right in the centre of the rear wheel axle and is easy to pop on and off with a touch of your toes.

The shopping basket is a really good size and there is plenty of space to slide shopping bags in and out with ease. There’s also a netted pocket towards the front which is perfect for a raincover.

The handlebar is a telescopic and adjusted using a central one-handed squeeze button. It is covered in leatherette that adds to the overall appearance.

The Carrycot

This Ultimate Bundle includes a matching Oyster 3 carrycot, which is suitable from birth up to around 6 months old or when baby is starting to sit up, with a maximum weight of 9kg. It incorporates the hood and removable apron in matching fabrics, padded zip-out liner, mattress and raincover, and is suitable for occasional overnight sleeping, making it a great alternative to a travel cot on those early trips away.

It’s a great size and is also deep so that baby is nicely sheltered and cocooned. The cleverly designed apron covers the carrycot and curves outwards, giving a sense of room and a chic silhouette to the pram.  

Removing the carrycot is really simple and is done using just one hand. Just pull the lever at the back of the hood and lift the carrycot off without disturbing the passenger inside. If you want to put the carrycot down with baby still in it, there are nifty pop-out feet to allow it to stand stable. Pop these feet back in and there are gentle rocking bars which can be used to soothe baby when the carrycot is off the pushchair chassis.

The Footmuff and Changing Bag

Designed to perfectly complement your Oyster 3 stroller, the matching footmuff features a super-soft inner and lovely woven fabric outer to keep your little one cosy on the coldest days. The shape fits around your clever sliding pushchair headrest and the footmuff is secured with the harness straps. The front can be zipped off to leave a comfortable seat liner with a reversible wipe-clean side.

The satchel-style changing bag comes with a handy mat and is made to fit neatly in the Oyster 3 shopping basket or clip easily onto the handlebar.

Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 Infant Carrier and FamilyFix 360 Base

Also included in this bundle is the Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 and FamilyFix 360 ISOFIX base. Using the car seat on the base allows you to turn your 360 car seat towards you at the car door, making access for your little one easy and saving your back. Combining the state-of-the-art safety and practical features of the Maxi-Cosi Pebble i-Size seats with the ease of use offered by a spin seat. 

The easy-in harness makes getting your baby in and out of the car seat hassle-free, and the included baby-hugg inlay keeps them snug, offering additional side body protection for the newborn along with a perfect ergonomic position for comfortable travel. The cushioned and adjustable headrest will always guarantee the best head support. To ensure your little one’s safety and comfort, the Pebble 360 has ClimaFlow to help regulate temperature. 

G-CELL Side Impact Technology keeps your baby protected from the forces of a side-on collision. The new ergonomic carrying handle makes it easy for you to carry your baby wherever you go. So right from day one, the Pebble 360 provides you and your baby with the maximum comfort, i-Size safety and convenience. Suitable from 40-83cm and up to 13kg, which is approximately birth to 15 months old.

You’re counting the days with excitement and anticipation. As your due date approaches, it’s time to find the right car seat and stroller combo. Your life is about to change dramatically for the better, and your new baby travel system will be an integral part of your growing family’s lifestyle, significantly impacting every new and exciting experience with baby.

No doubt these past months you’ve done your research and are tuned into the latest car seat stroller combo buzz. So, you know it’s not just a car seat. And, it’s not just a stroller. In fact, it’s a complete, superbly-engineered stroller travel system that checks all the boxes for your little one’s first years.

Our travel system strollers are the ultimate in comfort, safety and ease. Featuring a   lightweight infant car   seat that easily fits into the stroller frame and doubles as an infant carrier, our stroller travel systems allow you to transfer your tiny sleeping beauty from car to stroller to house without disturbing those sweet dreams. Fast asleep or wide awake in the supremely comfortable car seat, baby is both snug and totally portable.

Once baby outgrows the infant seat, the stand-alone stroller is ready to step up and become a luxury chariot designed to accompany your family on every adventure until baby reaches 50 pounds.

(FYI, travel systems are not to be confused with double strollers that can accommodate two little ones side by side, or adaptable doubles with an attachment that seats one in front of the other. If your newest arrival is not your first bundle of joy, and you have a toddler who isn’t quite ready to give up the cushy stroller life, a   double stroller   might be worth considering. It will be studier than a standard model and more of short-term solution but depending on the ages of your kids, could be just the ticket for right now.)

Every travel system has slightly different specifications and accessories that can include one click LATCH for easy vehicle installation, soft, breathable fabrics, and dual direction settings so baby can face you or the road ahead, and extra-large baskets to bring everything you need and accumulate stuff on the way.

If your vision includes making baby as comfortable as possible, with sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment that is portable, flexible and adaptable, a stroller travel system is the right choice. Let the adventures begin by finding the perfect stroller and car seat combo for your little one!

• Side impact technology for enhanced protection
• 2 years guarantee

It perfectly fits the FamilyFix 360 base, which is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages and a support leg to provide the safest, easiest and quickest way of installing your car seat.

Key Features:

• Compatible with the FamilyFix 360 base (included)
• Side impact technology for maximum protection
• ClimaFlow technology for the perfect body temperature regulation
• Under no circumstances should a rearward-facing car seat be used on a passenger seat where there is an active airbag.
• Correct fitting of all car seats and boosters is of paramount importance in making them the most effective in the event of an accident. Not all car seats fit all cars and it is important to check for fitting suitability on all cars you intend to fit the seat to, as well as re-checking if you change your car.
• Always read the instruction booklet which comes with your car seat to achieve a safe and correct fitting, retaining the guide for future reference. We recommend fitting your car seat in advance of first using it.
• We recommend that babies shouldn't be left in car seats (infant carriers) for prolonged periods.

Suitability:

• Please make sure that you check the car seat you choose is suitable for your car before ordering. This can be done in store with a Partner or on the car seat manufacturer's website.
• Some of our shops offer a car seat fit test, where a Nursery advisor will test the display model in your car to check that it will fit properly. Please contact your local shop to see if this service is available. Alternatively, please contact the car seat manufacturer who will be able to advise whether their model will be suitable for your car.
• We also offer in-store and virtual appointments so you can access our All Things Baby services at a time and place to suit you. Click here to book your appointment.
• Find your nearest department store.

Car seats adhere to strict safety regulations and conform to one of the following two types of seats:

• Height-based seats - These seats adhere to the safety regulation R129. They must be rear-facing until your child is over 15 months old. Your child can use a forward-facing child car seat when they’re over 15 months old. You must check the seat to make sure it’s suitable for the height of your child. i-Size is an enhancement of R129 that makes it easier to confirm your car seat's compatibility with any i-Size approved vehicle - reducing the risk of installing your car seat incorrectly. While all i-Size car seats meet the R129 testing standards, not every R129 car seat is an i-Size compatible seat.
• Weight-based seats - These seats adhere to the R44.04 car seat regulation. The seat your child can use (and the way they must be restrained in it) depends on their weight.

The below table is a rough guide as to how the car seats can relate to a child’s age based on the average child's weight or height depending on the regulation chosen.

Car Seat Age Guide:

Note: This is a rough guide only - please always refer to the individual car seat’s guidance for more specific details. Some car seats will be approved in two or more groups or across various height bands. This just means that these seats have the ability to adapt as your child grows, meaning they can use them for longer.

Everyone at Maxi-Cosi has one wish in common – to understand what it’s like to be a parent today.

Many of us are parents too; we’ve done the sleepless nights and the first tooth. And we understand that when you’re facing another parenting challenge your baby will look you in the eye and chuckle, or hiccup, or give you a flower, or do something else that stops you completely in your tracks. Suddenly, you appreciate the absolute joy that comes with being a mum or dad.

We want to maximize that joy so you can get on with enjoying these precious moments. We want you to have the safest car seat that simply clicks into place and a stroller that you can always rely on. Knowing what doesn’t work helps us develop solutions that do.

The revolutionary Oyster3 Stroller – redefining comfort and style for modern parents.

Designed for growing children, the Oyster3 is suitable from birth to 22kg and features a canopy and headrest that can be adjusted simultaneously to four height positions.

The extendable UPF 50+ canopy has a flip-out sun visor and ventilation window spanning the curvature for a nice, cool breeze.

Oyster3 fold is exceptionally compact for its size, and it folds with the seat unit attached both parent and world facing. There is also a retractable carry handle making it easier to handle, whether popping in the boot or on public transport.

The Oyster3 seat has a full lie-flat recline (in both directions) making it suitable from birth, featuring a 5-point safety harness with the revolutionary magnetic buckle – making securing your child quicker and easier.

With large turbine design wheels housed by ER-foam filled tyres, the Oyster3 wheels are both highly durable and puncture-free. The Oyster3 Stroller also features all-round suspension for multi-terrain outings as well as swivel front wheels, which are lockable via a single switch.

For optimum comfort in the first 6 months of your baby’s life, use the Oyster3 Carrycot on the chassis – a protective nest with a removable apron and retractable canopy. Use off the chassis at home and soothe your baby with its rocking base or flip out the stabilising feet.

Using the Oyster Multi Car Seat adaptors, seamlessly transition from the car to the chassis with the Oyster Capsule Infant Car Seat, creating a versatile travel system for busy parents.

Elevate your strolling experience with the Oyster3’s premium fabrics and finishes. The stroller is available in a range of chic colourways, allowing you to express your personal style while providing your little one with the utmost comfort in a luxurious environment.

Buying a pushchair for your newborn can feel a little daunting. With so many choices available and lots to consider when it comes to transporting your baby safely from A to B, it can be hard to narrow down your options.

If you've already decided that a travel system is for you, excellent! We’ve spent hundreds of hours researching the products loved by real parents (that includes both Mumsnet users and consumers), tested dozens of prams with our team of parent testers and consulted trusted pushchair experts for the latest up-to-date guidance to bring you a round-up of the very best travel systems to buy right now.

What Mumsnet users say

"I love it. Especially the huge basket which has been used for fairly large shops and the occasional stroppy toddler" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Dyra

“ Also a Nuna Mixx fan here! I live in the countryside so find the larger wheels helpful but if you are based in a city, you may not need such a big pram. I used the car seat adapters a lot in the first few months to nip in and out of places” - rated by Mumsnet user Rose2108  

Our verdict

An upgrade to the incredibly popular Nuna Mixx , the Nuna Mixx Next exudes comfort and style at every turn, with some significant improvements that have proven to be a huge hit with Mumsnet users and consumers alike. It can be used with a Nuna carrycot (without needing adapters) or with compatible car seats from Nuna, Maxi Cosi or Cybex using the car seat adapters included in the box.

Thanks to the comfortable seat, easy manoeuvrability, excellent storage and large all-terrain wheels, it easily takes our top spot as the best travel system you can buy today. It’s also worth mentioning that the Nuna Mixx Next is a Which? Best Buy and one of the top-scoring pushchairs in their lab tests.

While slightly heavier than the original model, improvements to the folding mechanism mean the Nuna Mixx Next now folds in upon itself, resulting in a more compact fold that’s around 16cm shorter than its predecessor. It conveniently self-stands, so you don’t need to worry about it getting the chassis dirty as you move it in and out of your car, although it's not a particularly portable travel system for public transport. The Nuna Mixx Next also has more durable rubber wheels than the original Mixx, with improved wheel suspension that can even tackle tricky terrain such as gravel or snow .  

It’s easy to steer (even one-handed), manoeuvres well around tight corners and obstacles, and tackles kerbs with ease. The leatherette handlebar also offers a choice of heights between 106cm and 115cm, making it easy to achieve a comfortable and natural hold for both petite and tall parents. We love the green and red indicators on the brake pedal that provide quick visual reassurance that the brake is engaged - ideal when you’re travelling around a busy urban environment.

Suitable from birth using the lie-flat recline, the Nuna Mixx Next has a comfortable all-season and machine-washable seat with a removable cosy padded liner and a mesh back for breathability during the warmer summer months. The included rain cover offers good protection from the elements on wet days and, although it's a little noisy to extend, the UPF 50+ hood with a viewing window provides good coverage from the sun. It’s even water-repellent, so if an unexpected downpour comes your way, your baby will still stay warm and dry. 

We love how the five-point harness can keep your baby safe and secure but converts to a more convenient three-point harness as your baby grows. If your child tends to nod off on their travels, you’ll also appreciate the one-handed, five-position recline, allowing you to switch from upright to lie flat quickly and easily. The two-handed fold on the Nuna Mixx Next does require some force, but once folded, the pushchair sits relatively compact - although if using it with the carrycot you’d need to remove this first. 

When it comes to storage, the Nuna Mixx Next has an underseat basket with a 4.5kg capacity, which isn’t as generous as the likes of the UPPAbaby Vista V2 (see below), but is easy to access from all directions and provides plenty of space for your newborn essentials . It can even be split into two distinct compartments using the interior wall if required.

"The seat has very high sides even when not in carrycot mode so is snuggly and lovely for my daughter" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Njh1986

The Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 pushchair may have one of the lowest price tags of all the travel systems on our list, but it's still up there in terms of both design and quality. 

While the original Maxi-Cosi Zelia (now discontinued) was only suitable for babies up to 15kg, the Zelia 2 offers greater longevity, lasting until your baby weighs 22kg, which is approximately four years old. While slightly heavier than the original model, the shopping basket capacity has also increased from 2kg to 5kg, providing valuable additional storage space for your changing bag or other essentials during a day out with your baby.

One of the major selling points of the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 is the 2-in-1 seat that quickly converts into a newborn bassinet without the need to purchase a separate carrycot - ideal for those who are limited in storage space at home. Our parent tester loved this feature stating, “It saves space in the house and it means the carrycot doesn't become obsolete once your baby is sitting.” Weighing 10.4kg, it’s also a more lightweight option than some of the multi-terrain models such as the Mamas and Papas Ocarro (see below). 

The lie-flat bassinet is suitable from birth and can easily be transformed into a pushchair seat when your baby reaches six months. With a comfortable padded inlay, it offers plenty of space and support for your child as they grow. Alternatively, the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 can be used with a compatible Maxi-Cosi car seat, such as the Mumsnet-recommended Maxi-Cosi Rock (using adapters) for a convenient transition between your car and the street.

Described as a compact, urban stroller, the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 is easy to steer and copes well with pavements and kerbs, however it may struggle off-road, such as on gravel, mud or sand. It’s also worth noting that while the handlebar height is adjustable, this is only by a small margin, so if you’re particularly tall you may find this pram less comfortable to push. 

We like the significant coverage provided by the sun hood and, thanks to the viewing window, you can discreetly check on your baby without waking them if they nod off during your journey. 

The fold requires two hands, but this is relatively straightforward to do. The pushchair clips together for compact storage and can self-stand. There’s also an in-built carry handle which can help distribute the weight should you need to carry it up and down the stairs. 

We love the improvements to the basket when compared to the original Maxi-Cosi Zelia, which although a little trickier to access when being used in bassinet mode, offers plenty of storage space, with a discreet pocket inside to stash valuable items such as your keys and phone.

"The Oyster was probably one of the most compact travel systems we found" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Anaesthetist83

“ I have the Oyster 3 and love it. It’s lightweight but sturdy and so easy to fold, my son always looks really comfortable. We didn’t use the carrycot part, the pram lies completely flat from birth so I didn’t feel we needed it” - rated by Mumsnet user Thetangleteaser

“ We have the full Oyster 3 bundle and it's great :) went for the Caviar/mirror colour and think it's very stylish” - rated by Mumsnet user Skywalkersweetie

If you're looking for a travel system to suit your growing family, then the Which? Best Buy BabyStyle Oyster 3 should be top of your list. This large, well-built pram is designed to last well into toddlerhood. With a choice of seven different colourways, it looks beautiful too.

With a maximum child weight of 22kg, which is around age four, this pushchair is suitable from birth, with a lie-flat seat, supportive head hugger and one-handed three-position recline. To use as a travel system, you can attach the Oyster 3 carrycot (sold separately) which offers a more spacious and comfortable lying position over longer durations with your newborn. For an easy transition straight from the car, car seats such as the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus can also be clipped onto the main chassis using the Oyster 3 car seat adapters (sold separately). 

Compared to the original Oyster and Oyster 2 pushchairs, the Oyster 3 has had a major overhaul. Not only is it lighter with bigger wheels for improved handling, but it also boasts a more spacious seat, including a pop-out footrest and an adjustable harness that can better accommodate your child as they grow. 

It’s worth noting that, as a result of the seat changes, it’s a little bigger than the previous model, but for convenience it now has a more compact fold, which can be triggered with the seat attached in both parent- and world-facing modes. You do need to use both hands to operate this, however the fold is smooth and simple, with a handy clip that prevents the chassis from springing open. While we wouldn’t recommend carrying the Oyster 3 regularly, there’s even an integrated carry strap for convenience should you need to. 

The Oyster 3 has a soft padded handlebar that’s adjustable between 101cm and 111.5cm, making it easy to adapt to parents of varying heights. Thanks to the all-round suspension, the four puncture-free tyres also offer a really smooth ride for your baby. 

Our parent tester rated the tight turning circle and a slim base, which made the Oyster 3 convenient for use on public transport and she found it performed well on urban terrains such as pavements and kerbs. Like many travel systems, it struggles more on bumpier or uneven ground, but there is the option to lock the front wheels - helpful when navigating across sand or mud.

Whatever the weather, the Oyster 3 can protect your baby from the elements. We rate the large UPF50+ sun hood with an extendable section to provide additional coverage when the seat is fully reclined. It also has a ventilation window which can keep your baby cool on warmer days. Unlike many pushchairs, the elasticated rain cover for the Oyster 3 (included with the travel system) is straightforward to fit should the weather take a sudden turn for the worse.

The storage basket is easy to access from all directions, and although more than adequate for most newborn essentials , the 3kg maximum capacity is relatively small when compared to the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or Nuna Mixx Next. That said, we love the inclusion of a discreet zipped storage pocket situated beneath the footrest - ideal for safely housing your keys and phone.

“ I have the Venicci Tinum and love it. It is great to push on all terrain and managed much better than my friend’s Silver Cross when we went on a woodland walk - the bumping of her pram meant we had to turn back! I’m still using it with my 16-month-old forward-facing and I’m pregnant again and intend on keeping it to use as our single pram when my new baby is born” - recommended by Mumsnet user BabyBabyBaby123  

“I have a Venicci Tinum 2.0. Really like it and find it's good on different surfaces, including woodland. The downside is that the basket underneath is not as big as some other makes/models. However, it's generally big enough for our needs” - rated by Mumsnet user ThePaperTrail

While you may be less familiar with the name, Italian brand Venicci is actually one of the leading suppliers of quality pushchairs , officially launching in the UK back in 2011. If you’re looking for a versatile option, the Venicci Tinum travel system makes an excellent choice, with a stylish and practical design combined with lots of additional accessories that make travelling with your baby a breeze.

With a reversible lie-flat seat, the Venicci Tinum 2.0 is suitable from birth to 22kg. The bundle includes the Tinum 2.0 carrycot and car seat, as well as a footmuff, rain cover, mosquito net, coordinating changing bag, changing mat and car seat adapters, meaning you’ve got pretty much everything you need to head out on travels with your baby in tow - whatever the weather may bring.

With some enhancements to the original Tinum, the Tinum 2.0 features a panoramic ventilation system to help keep your baby cool on sunnier days. It’s now easier to steer, even one-handed, tackling varied terrain well and navigating up and down kerbs without the need to exert too much effort despite its relatively heavy frame. 

While the sideless seat isn’t as padded or cushioned as the Nuna Mixx or BabyStyle Oyster 3 , it has three different recline positions and can be used both world- and parent-facing depending on your preferences, or easily swapping between the two. It’s worth noting that although the straps are adjustable as your child grows, this is a manual process and can fiddly. That said, the integrated hood is quiet to operate and provides good sun coverage, with a handy viewing window that helps you keep a reassuring eye on your toddler when world-facing. 

If you’re a taller or petite parent or sharing the travel system with your partner of a different height, you’ll love the adjustable handlebar height on the Venicci Tinum, which can be adjusted with one hand between 91 and 105cm - a far greater range than other travel systems such as the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2. 

The basket is a generous size and includes a zippable compartment for your valuables. While it’s stiff to operate, the centrally located brake is large and easily accessible - reassuring when travelling in busier surroundings.

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H33.5  x W59 x D77.5 cm | Weight: 13.6kg | Basket size: 3kg | Extras included: Rain cover and bumper bar

Dual suspension

Tackles off-road terrain well 

Chunky, puncture-resistant tyres

Padded seat with pillow and chest pads

Reflective trim on wheels

A reassuring wrist strap on the handlebars 

Large hood with ventilation 

The basket can only be loaded from the back 

Heavy to carry

Stiff five-point harness

"Absolutely love my Ocarro! It’s sturdy but easy to manoeuvre, well padded for a comfy baby, massive basket and can be folded one-handed (even with my baby in a sling!). Versatile as it’s slim enough for buses or shops aisles but with all-terrain wheels it can go anywhere ” - recommended by Mumsnet user Blueroses99

“Love our Ocarro! It is pretty heavy to lift when you have got it all folded up but I got used to lifting it in and out of the boot pretty quickly. I’ve used it on some pretty bumpy terrain and my baby has seemed comfy enough. 11 months in and I still love it and it looks like new still, so yes would recommend it!” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user DreamingofThailand

If you’re living in a more rural setting or enjoy heading on outdoor adventures with your baby in tow, you’ll need an all-terrain travel system that can navigate across a variety of surfaces with ease. 

The Mamas & Papas Ocarro is a luxury, all-terrain pushchair designed for both comfort and stability. A Which? Best Buy, the Ocarro achieved an impressive score in lab testing and it’s also compatible with several Which? Best Buy car seats too, including the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Pro and Cybex Aton 5 .

Available alone or in bundles of varying sizes depending on your needs, the eight-piece combination pack offers excellent value for money, including the pushchair, adapters, carrycot, cupholder, footmuff, changing bag, Cybex car seat and even an ISOFIX base. 

While it weighs over three kilograms heavier than some of the travel systems we tested (such as the Maxi-Cosi Zelia ), its robust frame, dual suspension and large all-terrain wheels ensure it can handle almost every terrain completely fuss-free,  from pavements and kerbs to woodland, sand and grass. While it’s narrow enough to fit through most doorways and manoeuvres well, it’s fairly heavy and bulky, so less suited to travel or for those looking for a lightweight stroller for public transport. 

Thanks to the padded lie-flat seat with a supportive head hugger (or the Ocarro carrycot if you prefer), the Ocarro is suitable from birth and can see your child through to approximately four years old. The seat is also fully reversible, so you can easily switch between reassuring eye contact for your baby in parent-facing mode to the world-facing mode for your curious toddler who wants to take in their surroundings.

The soft and comfortable leatherette handlebar is a stylish addition, however it’s worth noting that, unlike the height flexibility on the Venicci Tinum and BabyStyle Oyster 3 , it can only be raised by a small margin - between 100.5 to 105cm. The brake also requires a fair bit of force and isn't particularly easy to operate wearing sandals or flip-flops. 

We love the one-handed fold - something rarely seen in a multi-terrain pushchair. It can be folded with the seat attached in either direction and self-stands for convenience when folded, but it does take up a lot of space in your car. If you have a particularly small boot, you may find it easier to remove the seat first and store it as two separate pieces.   

The sturdy and robust canopy hood with stylish metallic trim is definitely worth a mention. It offers excellent coverage for sunny days but can also be pushed back entirely to improve visibility.

While still large enough to house a changing bag, the 3kg basket on the Ocarro is actually on the small side compared to our other best travel system recommendations such as the Bugaboo Fox 5 and Nuna Mixx Next. It needs to be loaded from the back and is less accessible when using the carrycot as this sits at a relatively low height. That said, thanks to the clever catches on the Ocarro chassis, you can also conveniently stash your changing bag over the handlebar without it slipping down.

“A true workhorse, the Bugaboo Fox 5 tackles any terrain you throw at it, from muddy paths to gravel roads and even woodland trails. We tested them all. And as a parent who loves outdoor adventures, this is a game-changer” - MNHQ parent tester, Beccy

“ Bugaboo Fox! LOVEEEEEE ours - looking at buggies now for boot space at 15 months and none of them are as nice to push or use 😂” - rated by Mumsnet user FTM2022SS  

Released in March 2023, the Bugaboo Fox 5 is the much-awaited and updated version of the Fox 3, which has a great reputation for tackling varied terrain.

The Bugaboo Fox 5 offers some big improvements to Fox’s much-loved design. It manoeuvres better than its predecessor, offers more storage capacity and has a higher seat and bassinet. It also has an easier-to-operate and more compact one-handed fold, with an extendable footrest and canopy to help adapt to your child’s needs as they grow.

We like the large puncture-proof wheels and bouncy suspension, which provide a comfortable ride for both newborns and toddlers. The pushchair performed exceptionally well on different terrain, including muddy paths, gravel roads and woodland trails, when our parent tester, Beccy, put it through its paces.

Although the fold took time for her to master, Beccy found the one-handed fold and unfold invaluable when out and about with her two children. The handlebar can be adjusted between 92 and 108cm so it’s easy to find the most comfortable setting for your height. 

The generous 9kg storage basket with extendable flaps also adds to the appeal, with plenty of space to house a changing bag or your baby’s essentials. It is quite bulky when folded though, which means it might not be ideal if you have a small car boot.

The seat is easy to recline (almost a bit too easy, so approach with caution) and thanks to the large sun canopy, your baby will be safely shielded from the sun’s glare on bright sunny days. 

While this buggy offers comfort in spades for newborns, the Fox 5 is unique in that the seat and carrycot come as one unit, which some parents may find impractical. Switching from the carrycot to the seat is quite fiddly (requiring the removal of the hood and swapping out the base), however you may only need to do this once and not until your baby reaches six months.

What Mumsnet users say 

“I loooooooooooooooved my Vista. Was brilliant in every way” rated by Mumsnet user MartinMartinMarti

“I have the Vista and totally love it. Really sturdy and fab on all terrains, we have used it everywhere & never had any bother. My son is almost three and I'm about to have our second and can't wait to get even more use out of it. I'm tall & liked the height of the Vista. Yes, it is expensive but if you divide it up by cost per use it's good value!” - recommended by Mumsnet user Jem1979

“I adore my Vista. Yes, it’s a bit of a beast but it was so useful when we lived in a city and I didn’t drive. The undercarriage had plenty of room for the weekly shop plus all the day-to-day kid kit, and when we travelled by train to visit relatives we shoved all the luggage under there. Would defo recommend it” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user RoseAndGeranium

Our verdict 

Tested by Mumsnet: Read our full UPPAbaby Vista V2 review

Suitable from birth when used with the included carrycot, or from six months as a standalone pushchair, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 can see you through until your child reaches 22 kg (around four years). The spacious seat offers plenty of room for your growing child and can be placed in both directions - opting for parent-facing when your baby is younger before switching to world-facing when they want to explore their surroundings. 

An upgrade from the original UPPAbaby Vista, Vista 2 has seen some big improvements to the pushchair seat. While Which? lab testing felt that the padding was on the thin side, UPPAbaby has extended the height of the backrest and provided a longer footrest to better accommodate your child as they grow. The sun hood now has a ventilated extension panel for enhanced sun coverage and the five-point safety harness is now fully adjustable without needing to be rethread, although this does create some hanging excess.

Whilst the pushchair is only suitable from the age of six months, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 comes with a newborn carrycot included in the cost. It’s also compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa i-Size Infant Car Seat or with brands such as Maxi-Cosi and Cybex if you purchase separate car seat adapters.

For parents, the handlebar offers some height adjustment (between 101 and 108cm), allowing you to tailor the experience to each parent. The one-handed recline is easy to operate, with a choice of six different positions and a fully adjustable leg rest that can support your child as they grow. That said, the seat fabric is much less padded than travel systems such as the Nuna Mixx Next and BabyStyle Oyster 3 , so it’s better suited to short journeys than full days exploring with your baby.

The flip-flop-friendly brake has colour indicators for peace of mind, offering quick visual reassurance that the brake has been properly engaged. When you’ve reached your destination, folding the Vista 2 away requires two hands due to its weight, however it clips together once folded for secure and compact storage.

We love the enhancements to the sun hood, with a large UPF50+ canopy that provides extensive shade coverage. It has an expandable section that can keep your baby protected from the sun’s rays even when fully reclined. The mesh viewing window is also a great feature, allowing you to check on your baby while they nap without the risk of disturbing them.

By far the most impressive feature on the Vista 2, however, is the shopping basket - the biggest shopping basket we’ve seen. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 basket can hold a significant 13.6kg, which is a big plus point when you’re stocking up on the best nappies at the supermarket. The basket is four times greater than that of the Oyster 3, although the chassis does run through the middle, so it requires a bit of spacial awareness when storing larger items. We love that it’s accessible from all directions as well as the smaller pockets for stashing your valuables.

8. Best travel system for easy fold: Joie Versatrax

Pushchair price: £289 | Latest deals from Boots

Bundle price from £665 | Latest deals from John Lewis  

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent and world facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: H81.5 x W64.5 x D36.5cm | Weight: 11.8kg | Basket capacity: 4.5kg | Extras included: Cup holder

One-handed recline 

Easy to fold

Reversible seat

Tackles a variety of terrain

Comes with a cup holder and carry strap

Large shopping basket 

No locking catch 

Removing the car seat can be a little tricky

“ We have it and I love it! It’s really easy to put up/fold down, baby seems to be comfy and it's really smooth to push” - recommended by Mumsnet user Amipreg1  

“ I have had the Versatrax from newborn and love it. It folds really easily and fits in the boot of my Mini. I haven’t noticed a bumpy ride, either when using the carrycot or the actual pram. I found it easy to put the carrycot on and off when he was tiny and I clipped the car seat onto the frame which was harder to get on and off. Now that I use the actual seat it looks lovely and I love that you can have it facing both ways” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user Tealandteal

“ I have the Versatrax and really like it. Giant basket, folds easily forward- and rear-facing, easy to manoeuvre on most terrain. I think it is really good value for money” - rated by Mumsnet user Clicheinaqashqai  

If a quick and easy fold is high on your travel system wish list, then the Joie Versatrax is certainly worth a look. Suitable from birth to four years old and sold as part of a travel system bundle for under £700, it offers excellent value for money. As a Which? Best Buy, the Versatrax also scored highly in their lab tests, with a quick and easy fold that can be triggered with the seat attached in either direction. 

Mumsnet users praise this travel system for its effortless fold. This can even be done one-handed - ideal if you’re out and about with your baby and toddler in tow. Once folded, the Verstrax sits relatively compact and can self-stand. 

The pushchair is heavy though, and while we wouldn’t recommend carrying it far, the integrated carry strap can spread the load for simple transportation to and from your car. If we’re being really critical, we would have loved a locking catch to hold the chassis securely in place when folded. 

The Joie Versatrax is suitable from birth thanks to its lie-flat seat, but you can also buy the Joie Ramble XL carrycot for extra-comfy strolls with your newborn. The Versatrax is also compatible with a variety of Joie infant car seats, including the i-Gemm and i-Snug , both of which clip to an ISOFIX base in your car (sold separately) to meet the enhanced i-Size car seat safety regulations . 

Unclipping the carrycot is quick and simple to do, however some reviewers have found the car seat trickier to detach due to the simultaneous lift and press of a release button. The pushchair seat is comfortable and roomy for your baby and, although a little fiddly, the strap length can be adjusted child to your child as they get taller. The seat itself is a little thin, but it has good padding across the back and harness, with a removable bumper bar for your baby to grab on to as they get bigger. 

Thanks to the all-wheel suspension, the Versatrax is easy to steer across most surfaces, with a relatively small turning circle and the ability to be pushed one-handed. The heavy design makes kerbs a bit more of an effort and, while not an all-terrain pushchair, the lockable front wheels are a big help when tackling rough terrains such as gravel and mud. The handlebar can also be adjusted to a comfortable height for each user and sandal wearers can rejoice as the brake is even flip-flop-friendly. 

We love the shopping basket on the Versatrax (which at 4.5kg is about average for a travel system of this size). It’s easy to access from all directions even when the pushchair seat is fully reclined, and has an internal pocket to keep smaller items close to hand.

9. Best travel system for design: Babystyle Egg2

Three-position recline

Easy to adjust the harness 

Tackles varied terrain

Car seat adapters not included 

“ I love my Egg2. The suspension is great for all types of terrain: woods, pavement, bumpy roads, etc. My baby is happy in it since she was a newborn. Although it’s heavy, the size is not too big for getting onto the bus or train. My car is a small KIA RIO, and it fits alright. With its adjustable height, it suits both petite (me) and tall (husband) really well” - recommended by Mumsnet user Indoinuk

“ We absolutely love it. It is a very sturdy pushchair but very compact for walking around shops and using on public transport. We mainly use ours for walking along pavements although it has worked absolutely fine for use on country roads and even off-road in the local woodland. It is an expensive travel system, however that is really shown in the quality of it. My [child] is almost four years old and has been used extensively in that time but it still looks and feels brand new.“ - rated by Mumsnet user stormelf  

If you want a travel system that really stands out from the crowd, you’ll love the unique and stylish design of the Egg2. 

An upgrade from the original Egg stroller, the new Egg2 travel system features some exciting improvements. The new design has a larger-sized seat which not only sits slightly higher on the chassis but also has a taller back and an easy-adjust harness to support your child as they grow. 

Built with practicality in mind, the Egg2 also has an increased basket size and the ability to self-stand when folded - preventing any unwanted damage to the handlebar or chassis when you’re packing it away. And if that's not enough, the wheels on the Egg2 are also slightly larger, helping it perform better across more challenging terrain compared to its predecessor. 

With a distinctive design, this stylish pushchair is suitable for babies from six months through to an impressive 25kg, which could be up to five years of age - the highest capacity travel system we’ve featured. For younger babies, however, you’ll need to attach the Egg2 carrycot, with a soft cushioned mattress suitable for up to nine months, or clip on the aptly named Egg Shell car seat . It’s worth noting though that car seat adapters aren’t included, so you’ll need to factor this in as an extra when considering the overall purchase price. 

With a robust and sturdy design, the Egg2 weighs in at a substantial 15.5kg - over 5kg heavier than the heaviest travel system on our list - which may be off-putting to some. Despite its weight, it’s surprisingly easy to steer, with a small turning circle and the ability to be steered one-handed, even across grass, gravel and mud. The four-wheel suspension tackles kerbs with ease, without jolting or waking your baby. 

Folding does take some practice due to the multiple steps involved. Unlike the BabyStyle Oyster 3 and Nuna Mixx Next which can fold with the seat attached in either direction, the Egg2 carrycot or pushchair seat need to be fully removed from the frame before you can fold it away. Once folded, the Egg2 frame sits relatively compact and self stands without taking up too much space in your car. 

While it's on the higher end of the price scale for a travel system, this is certainly noticeable in its modern and stylish design, with great attention to detail including a height adjustable leatherette handlebar and matt chassis. 

Unlike some travel systems which have wheels that can look plasticity, the tri-spoke design on the Egg2’s puncture-free tyres is quite the opposite. They even leave a unique egg-shaped tread - a novel but lovely touch. There’s even an easily accessible flip-flop-friendly brake which uses only the base of your foot, so no squishing your toes in the process.

The basket capacity could be bigger considering the pushchair’s size, with a 3kg capacity which can fill quickly due to its shallow design. We like the sun hood, however, which not only offers excellent coverage but uses magnets for the viewing window - so no loud crunch of rip tape that risks waking your baby when you take a peak.

Less suitable for public transport  

“ Priam. Such a great pram, we love it. Well made and sturdy, good for country walks.” recommended by Mumsnet user Anewhoo

“ I have it and really love it so far. The carrycot is really spacious and has zips to provide mesh ventilation on the sides. You can also clip the car seat in (we have Cloud Z). The manoeuvrability is absolutely brilliant - you can turn it in really tight spaces. When folded it’s pretty compact. We do have to pop a wheel off when putting it into the boot (we have Seat Ibiza) which isn’t really an issue as they just click in/out. Honestly, I’ve not got any cons so far apart from it being expensive but you get what you pay for and I’m very happy with it” - rated by Mumsnet user Nat4392

The robust Cybex Priam comes well regarded amongst Mumsnet users and online reviewers. Thanks to its sturdiness, it’s a popular choice for parents living in a more rural or countryside setting. An updated version of the original Priam from 2019, the 2022 edition offers several big improvements including a one-handed adjustable harness, revised seat design and a carrycot that sits higher up on the chassis.  

Due to the lie-flat recline, the Priam 2022 is suitable from birth through to 22kg, but the seat is narrow so you may find your child outgrows it sooner than age four. The seat can be used parent- or world-facing and, to ensure a comfortable ride for your baby, you can switch between four different recline positions and three leg rest positions.

As a travel system, the Priam 2022 can be combined with the spacious Cybex Priam Lux carrycot (suitable until around nine months of age) or the Cybex Cloud T i-Size baby car seat using the included adapters - ideal when moving your newborn to and from the car. 

While it's not an all-terrain pushchair, the Cybex Priam 2022 handles the majority of surfaces well with the exception of sand. Its weighty design is less suited to public transport but can navigate well around pavements and kerbs, as well as tackle trickier terrain such as gravel and grass with relative ease. The handlebar height can be set between 99 and 109cm and is easy to adjust when switching between parents or caregivers.

The fold has several steps, but is relatively straightforward, folding to a compact size that won’t exhaust all the space in your boot. At 13.6kg, however, it’s quite bulky to lift and one of the heavier travel systems on our list. 

We love the large central brake pedal which is quick and easy to operate. The included rain cover is simple to install and the generously sized sun hood offers more than adequate sun protection, although you may find the sideless design of the seat can let through some glare. Thanks to the magnetic viewing window, you can keep a close eye on your baby even when the seat is world-facing. 

We’re less keen on the storage basket’s slanted design, which feels restrictive in terms of space, despite its 5kg capacity. That said, you will find some additional small pockets of storage on the back of the seat - a great way to keep your phone close to hand.

11. Best lightweight travel system: Nuna Triv Next 

Pushchair price: from £600 | Latest deals from Boots

Bundle price from £950 | Latest deals from Boots

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent facing or world facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: 36 x 59 x 66cm | Weight: 9.2kg | Basket capacity: 4.5kg | Extras included: Rain cover 

Large basket 

Adjustable handlebar height

Large sun hood 

Can’t be folded one-handed

The hood can be noisy when pulled out

“I absolutely love it! It's been perfect for us. The fold is so quick and easy, and my little girl is always really comfortable in it, very decent-sized shopping basket underneath reclines flat for naps, it also handles some rough terrain (bumpy grass, rougher pebbly floors etc) but does not huge ditches or anything.” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user MamaMiaOhDear

The second Nuna pram featured in our round-up of the best travel systems is the Nuna Triv Next - another Which? Best Buy that achieved the highest lab score of all the products on this list. An upgrade from the original Nuna Triv, the latest edition comes with an even lighter frame and updated wheels for improved handling across varied terrain. 

Suitable from birth to 22kg, the pushchair can be used parent-facing or world-facing, and reclines to one of four different positions, including a lie-flat option for newborns. Alternatively, you can combine the chassis with the comfortable padded Nuna Triv Series carrycot or the Nuna Triv car seat when travelling with a younger baby.

Despite weighing just 9.2kg, the Nuna Triv Next performs surprisingly well over rough terrain thanks to the robust rear wheel suspension, with the ability to navigate across gravel and woodland areas without any significant bumping. We love the five different height options on the leatherette handlebar, allowing for a safe and comfortable hold for parents of different heights. 

Whilst the relatively simple fold does require two hands, the result is a compact and lightweight pushchair that’s easy to carry thanks to the locking clasp and integrated carry handle. As a result, Triv Next is a practical choice for those travelling regularly on public transport. 

The generously sized sun hood can be a little noisy to extend, but is also water-repellent (ideal for those scattered showers) and provides good shade coverage, with a viewing window for discrete checks on your baby while they nap. We love the spacious 4.5kg storage basket which has elasticated sides and can be accessed from all directions, along with the extra zipped storage pocket to the rear of the seat. 

12. Best travel system for city living: Bugaboo Dragonfly

Tested by parents : Read our full Bugaboo Dragonfly review

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg | Orientation: Parent- and world-facing | Car seat compatible: Yes | Folded dimensions: One-piece self-standing fold with seat 36 x 52 x 90cm; one-piece self-standing fold with carrycot 32 x 52 x 90cm | Weight: 7.9-10.4kg | Basket capacity: 10kg plus extra 2.5kg when rear pocket is placed on handlebar | Extras included: Integrated carry strap; Parasol+ attachment clip

Carrycot can be collapsed with the buggy

Excellent storage

Rear storage pocket can be detached and hung on the handlebar

Freestanding when folded

Huge sun canopy with extra extension for sunny days

Sliding, easy-to-adjust five-point harness

Stiff and clunky recline

Takes time to master the fold

No rain cover included

"My daughter enjoys a ride in the Bugaboo Dragonfly and has fallen asleep in the toddler seat multiple times. She likes gripping onto the bumper bar when on the move, and the number of recline angles on the seat means she always sits or lays comfortably" - parent tester, Laura

A great option for those travelling around an urban environment on foot, the Bugaboo Dragonfly is designed specifically for city life. With a relatively lightweight frame, this buggy is much lighter than many other travel systems (with the exception of the Nuna Triv Next and Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2). 

Released in June 2023, the Bugaboo Dragonfly features a sliding harness, large extendable sun canopy, leather grip height-adjustable handlebar and huge storage basket with a rear storage pocket that detaches from the basket to be hung on the handlebars like a changing bag .

While the claim of a one-handed fold is debatable, the pushchair can self-stand once folded, making it easier to carry and store at home or on public transport. It also folds down with the carrycot attached - the first of its kind and a game-changer in the newborn days.

Thanks to its light frame, the Bugaboo Dragonfly is agile and easy to manoeuvre, with a small turning circle that makes it ideal for navigating through crowded city streets or narrow shop aisles.

Its large brake pedal is easy to engage. Parent tester, Laura, says, "The brake is one of the easiest I've used and holds effectively. You simply press the brake down with your foot to engage and disengage it, and this can even be done barefoot or with flip-flops."

As you may expect, however, the Bugaboo Dragonfly doesn’t fair quite so well as other travel systems on uneven ground and struggles in particular when it comes to bumping up kerbs.

What is a travel system?

A travel system is a pushchair that allows you to remove the seat or carrycot and replace it with a baby car seat .

Tailored specifically to newborn babies, a travel system can be bought as a standalone pushchair or as part of a bundle, either a 2-in-1 travel system, featuring a pushchair and carrycot, or a 3-in-1 travel system which also has a baby (Group 0+) car seat.

With the ability to attach a Group 0+ car seat (suitable from birth to 12 months), a travel system allows you to move your baby seamlessly from car to pram without disturbing them. The carrycot accessory is a convenient lie-flat option for your newborn that allows your baby to sleep while on the go, ensuring clear airways and healthy hip and spine alignment at all times. 

The size and weight of traditional travel systems (and in many cases the hefty price tag) means they're not for everyone, so it’s important to consider your lifestyle and habits when making your choice.

How we chose and tested the best travel systems

Over 100 hours of research and testing

Tested with real parents

Consumer-recommended

To ensure we're only recommending the very best travel systems, we first looked to the Mumsnet forums , home to 10 million users a month, to get the lowdown on the travel systems real parents rate and would recommend to others.

We then branched out to the wider web, collated reliable and honest consumer feedback from retail sites and bestseller lists. We also spoke to pushchair and baby travel experts from trusted organisations such as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) as well as local NCT groups. 

To round out our research, we consulted the views of consumer champion Which? to discover how each travel system performed in their impartial lab testing environment.

Finally, wherever possible, we tested the travel systems ourselves, using a comprehensive testing and scoring system to highlight the best-performing products across the board. Specifically, we tested for safety and stability, assembly, ease of use, comfort, cleaning, materials and value for money. 

What is the difference between a pram, a pushchair, a buggy and a travel system? 

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between a pram, pushchair, buggy and travel system.

Pram: A pram is a lie-flat travel solution, with a bassinet-style carry cot that allows your baby to lie in a more natural sleeping position. Prams are generally tailored towards newborns and young babies, suitable up to the age of around six months. 

Pushchair: Pushchairs offer additional flexibility as your child grows. Once they can sit up unaided (from around six months), your baby may transition from a pram to a pushchair, with the ability to sit more upright and visually explore their surroundings. With modern designs, many pushchairs now offer a lie-flat option that also makes them suitable from birth.

Buggy: The phrase buggy is often used as a catch-all phrase to describe a variety of products, but most commonly refers to a lightweight stroller that offers practical short-term travel solutions. A buggy tends to be less feature-rich and less able to tackle varied terrain, but is often cheaper and easier to store, with an umbrella fold or compact designs that can be stashed out of sight when not in use. 

Travel system : A travel system is a versatile choice and a practical option for parents who will be regularly switching between their car and travelling on foot. Parents can choose between a 3-in-1 travel system or a 2-in-1 travel system depending on their preference. In addition to a pushchair, a 2-in-1 travel system bundle includes a carrycot, which can be clipped onto the chassis as a lie-flat solution for newborns till around six months of age. 3-in-1 travel systems also include a car seat and will often require adapters to link to the main frame of the pushchair. 

Do I need a travel system?

Because travel systems can be bulky and expensive, it’s worth checking whether or not you actually need one.

If you often travel by car, a travel system will save you time and energy when out and about with your baby as you'll be able to easily remove and attach a car seat.

With a parent-facing carrycot attachment, and sometimes even the main seat unit itself, you'll also be able to lie your child completely flat, which will ensure that they are safe and secure at all times.

If you rarely use a car, or if you know you’ll be on and off public transport daily, then a lightweight buggy may be a more suitable option.

Some lightweight pushchairs, such as the Bugaboo Dragonfly can, however, be used as a travel system, which may just give you the best of both worlds.

Should babies lie flat in a pram?

To be suitable from birth, your pram or pushchair seat needs to recline into a ‘lie flat’ position - as close to 180 degrees as possible. This is because an upright seat can actually restrict your baby’s airways and reduce the amount of oxygen in their bloodstream due to the position of their head and neck. 

Some pushchairs are only suitable for use from six months and, as such, require the addition of a carrycot or car seat to be suitable from birth. It’s worth remembering that your baby should not be kept in a car seat for longer than two hours at a time, and should be removed at the earliest opportunity once you’ve reached your destination.

How much do travel systems cost.

Prices range from £250 to over £1,000 and most come as part of a bundle, which could save you money in the long run.

More expensive models may come with a multitude of added extras – think footmuffs, buggy boards and general customisable features – but this will, of course, increase the cost.

What should I look for when buying a travel system? 

Here are some important questions to ask yourself when considering which travel system is right for you: 

What does the price include and what is my budget? First up, how much are you willing to spend on your travel system? Consider what elements you will benefit from the most before deciding between a 2-in-1 bundle with a carrycot, or a 3-in-1 bundle with a carrycot and car seat. Some travel systems can be purchased for under £400, but for more luxury designs or bundles with more accessories, you can easily spend £1,000 or more. 

What is the weight limit? What is the maximum weight capacity for the pushchair? The vast majority of travel systems can accommodate children up to 22kg (approximately four years) however some stop at 15kg, so it’s worth checking the specifications with care. 

How easy is it to attach a carrycot or car seat? Does this require adapters and if so, are they included? Can this be done one-handed? If you’re going to be out and about on your own with your baby, it’s important you can attach and remove the car seat and carrycot without assistance. 

What are the seat recline options? How many recline settings does the pushchair element of the travel system offer, and is there a lie-flat option suitable for use with your newborn? Can the recline be triggered one-handed and with your baby already in the seat? Some travel systems have back recline options only, whereas others can adjust the angle of the footrest too - a helpful feature when travelling with older babies and toddlers. 

Can the seat be switched between parent- and world-facing? Most parents prefer to use their pushchair in parent-facing mode initially, enabling good eye contact and helping you keep a close eye on your baby whilst travelling. As your baby gets older, however, they may become curious about exploring their surroundings, so switching to world-facing can provide them with a better view. If your travel system pushchair has a viewing window in the hood, this can be helpful to allow regular checks that your baby is calm and content. 

Is it roomy enough? As well as the weight limits, it's important to consider the style, size and shape of the seat. Some travel systems such as the Cybex Priam are quite narrow and may be outgrown sooner than their specification suggests.

Does it have a five-point harness? How secure is the harness and is it padded for a comfortable fit? It’s also worth considering how easy it is to adjust the harness height as your baby grows. On some travel systems, this will be a simple, one-handed adjustment, while others will require some rethreading. 

How easy is it to fold? Can the fold be achieved one-handed and if not, how many steps are involved? Does the seat need to be removed beforehand? Is the process fairly intuitive or is it a case of practice makes perfect? It’s also worth considering whether the fold requires physical strength - something which will be even more important if you’re recovering from a c-section .

How compact is the fold? What are the dimensions of the pushchair once folded? Will it fit into the boot of my car or on public transport and does it have a safety clasp to hold it securely in place once folded?

How easy is it to push and steer? How easy is the pushchair to steer and can it cope with varied terrain? It’s worth considering the type of surfaces you will be travelling on most regularly. For city dwellers, most travel systems can navigate across pavements and down kerbs with ease, whereas you may need an all-terrain pushchair if you’re planning on taking your travel system to the beach or local woods. 

How heavy is it to carry? How much does the travel system weigh and are you able to lift this yourself, whether that’s to and from the car or onto public transport? Some travel systems include an integrated carry handle and while it's not something you’ll want to use regularly, this can help distribute the weight when carrying up and down the stairs at home. 

Is the handle height adjustable? Is the handlebar height fixed, or can this be adjusted to suit the parent? Most travel systems offer some handlebar adjustment, but to what margin will depend upon the brand. If you are particularly petite or tall, it's worth checking the lowest and highest height settings to ensure it’s comfortable to push. 

What's the brake like? How easy is the brake to trigger and is it flip-flop friendly? Some central brakes can disrupt your strides when walking quickly but are easier to access if you need to stop in an emergency. If you regularly wear sandals and flip-flops, you’re best to look for brakes that don’t require lifting up with the top of your foot to release. 

How big is the storage basket? One of the biggest variations between travel systems is the size of the storage basket, with our choices ranging from a 3kg capacity to over 13kg. As well as the capacity, you should look at the size and shape of the basket, whether it can be accessed from multiple angles, and whether it is still accessible when used with the carrycot. Some travel systems also offer additional storage such as pockets on the back or footrest. 

Does it come with a rain cover? We can always rely on the British weather to treat us to an unexpected downpour so an included rain cover is a handy accessory to protect your baby from the elements. If it’s not included, how much do they cost to buy as an optional extra? How easy is the rain cover to attach and can this be done quickly when the heavens open? 

Will the sun hood provide enough protection? Is it extendable? On warmer days, it’s important to keep the sun out of your baby’s face where possible. A good travel system will have a large sun hood or canopy, ideally with UPF50+ protection and an extendable section that provides coverage even when the seat is fully reclined. 

How easy is the travel system to clean? What fabric is the seat of your travel system made from? Can the covers be removed for easy cleaning, or is it spot clean only? 

What does it look like? Does it come in colours I like? While it's not the most important factor, the overall look and feel of your travel system is still something to consider, as you’ll want to feel confident when out and about with your baby. What colour choices are available? Is it a modern or traditional design? Do the fabrics and chassis look high quality and luxurious? 

Can I convert it to a double buggy or fit a buggy board? If you’re planning on growing your family, it’s worth considering whether the travel system could be easily converted to a double buggy , or whether a buggy board can be attached to the back. The latter is a great option for toddlers who may tire easily when walking on foot, whilst still encouraging some independence. 

What are the wheels like? What are the wheels made from and are they puncture-free? 

Can it handle off-roading? Does the travel system pushchair have any built-in suspension to tackle more off-road terrains? For more lightweight travel systems that don’t claim to be all-terrain, it’s worth looking for a lockable front wheel, as this can provide greater resistance against gravel and mud. 

How easy is it to assemble and take apart? Finally, for the flatpackphobes amongst us, how easy is it to get started with your travel system? Does it require any significant assembly before use and if so, how intuitive is it and are the steps easy to follow? Some travel systems also feature convertible carrycots, so if you are repelled by the prospect of following an instruction manual, you may want to opt for a design with a separate stand-alone carrycot

Travel system safety advice from RoSPA

We spoke to Nick Lloyd, Acting Head of Road Safety at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), for some safety advice when buying a travel system:

Always buy from a reputable shop or website. Don’t try to get a cheap deal as you don’t know if you’ll be buying the real branded item or a copy

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on how to fit and use the travel system

Don’t leave your baby in the car seat for more than two hours (30 minutes if your child is a low birth weight or has medical problems). This can cause fatalities

The trains and stations of the Moscow Metro

2 Comments · Posted by Alex Smirnov in Cities , Travel , Video

The Moscow Metro is the third most intensive subway system in the world after Tokyo and Seoul subways. The first line was opened on May 15, 1935. Since 1955, the metro has the name of V.I. Lenin.

The system consists of 12 lines with a total length of 305.7 km. Forty four stations are recognized cultural heritage. The largest passenger traffic is in rush hours from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 18:00 to 19:00.

Cellular communication is available on most of the stations of the Moscow Metro. In March 2012, a free Wi-Fi appeared in the Circle Line train. The Moscow Metro is open to passengers from 5:20 to 01:00. The average interval between trains is 2.5 minutes.

The fare is paid by using contactless tickets and contactless smart cards, the passes to the stations are controlled by automatic turnstiles. Ticket offices and ticket vending machines can be found in station vestibules.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
