BabyStyle Oyster 3 Footmuff (Cherry)

Product Information

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 Due to all delivery timescales being estimated we kindly ask all customers to allow an extra 7 working days on top of the estimated dates. Our tester’s seven-month-old is a large baby and, although there was plenty of leg room, the actual height of the seat was quite low and she was often concerned about opening the hood and bumping his head. 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. We will arrange for the manufacturer to collect your pram from your home within 5-7 days free of charge, or you can drop it off at our store if preferred, and we’ll arrange collection from there.

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 seat is roomy and there’s cushioning and padding all over to allow for maximum comfort for your tiny passenger. The seat reclines very smoothly between the three settings, which is great if you have a napping baby, and it is easy to use even with a two-year-old in the seat.

Price matching will not be applied to products where doing so would result in a loss making transaction. 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. Chunky rear turbine wheels allow the buggy to bump up and down kerbs well and help it to run smoothly along pavements so that you don't feel every lump and groove along the way.

The Footmuff was designed to compliment the fabric options of the Oyster perfectly, and will keep baby snug and warm in colder weather. The Oyster 3 is really comfy to push – our tester found she was able to keep her stride and even power walk when she wanted to. It also has a tight turning circle and a slim base, which makes it a good option if you use public transport regularly. While we only tested the seat and chassis for the Oyster 3, you can also buy it as a bundle which includes a carrycot and car seat. Please note that we are only able to provide estimated delivery timescales on these products so please bear this in mind if you require a product urgently. 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.The buggy design promises to fit a child up to 22kg (approximately four years of age), however our tester felt it would be a little on the small side if you have an older child as they would likely outgrow the seat faster than expected. The quality of the pushchair as a whole really shines through though and BabyStyle has lovely aesthetic touches, most noticeably the almost-pearlescent wheels, which makes a pleasant change from the usual chrome. BabyStyle's five-point harness works well (the clip holds the straps firmly in place), but the strap between the legs didn't fasten tight enough for our tester’s liking – while it was difficult for her seven-month-old to wriggle his arms out, she found it fit her nearly three-year-old more snugly. We will, however, communicate with your pushchair manufacturer on your behalf to help ensure a smooth and efficient repair service.
