I’m now a mama to an 18 month old so feel like I’m starting to get to know the ins and outs of the strollers I own throughout the different stages. When first looking into prams when pregnant I had a few things on my list:
- compact to fold
- easy to manoeuvre in shops and small spaces
- fits a capsule
- looks good (ok, low down the list, but still kinda important)
- good quality – built to last
I ended up choosing the Mutsy i2 and we have absolutely loved it! It’s been everywhere from the gravel roads of Western Southland, to Los Angeles Santa Monica Pier. It’s been perfect! This year we also decided to get the Musty Nexo which is more compact as we had some travel planned. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 we were never able to travel but we have still be getting a bit of use out of the Nexo too.
Both of our Mutsy strollers were purchased from Global Baby. I love that shop and they’ve provided amazing customer service. We’ve also purchased our car seats from there too.
Here’s our must have shopping list from Global Baby:
- Mutsy Icon (newer version of the i2)
- Mutsy Nexo
- Raincover- Icon or Nexo
- Capsule adapters- Icon or Nexo
- Foot Muff- Icon or Nexo
- Maxi Cosi Cabriofix Capsule
- Maxi Cosi Base
- Britax Boulevard Clicktight
