We recently bought a Jane Matrix Cup for my second child. I already knew that you need two to three prams or pushchairs: one for the early months: one for the next eighteen months, and another one, if you're unlucky, because the second one wore out. The breakpoint is when the baby can sit up unaided (around six months). When you hit that point, Maclarens are the easiest: cheap, light, one-hand operation. But a baby is not a toddler, and a new baby is not a crawler/cruiser. In my experience the process of shifting babies from house to car (or vice-versa) always occurs five minutes after they have fallen asleep. Young babies are sometimes (usually) very touchy ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Matrix car seat, coupled with a Carrera base, two years ago for our first son. We used it both as a pram and as an occasional car seat for about nine months. We were fairly happy with it during this period. I should perhaps point out that, unlike I suspect many of the people who are reading this review, I don't actually own a car. I hire when I need one - I live near to central London, and at least to date the cons of living with parking shortages etc have outweighed any advantages. Compared to most people who have cars this means: I use a variety of cars, not just one; I often insert or remove seats; etc With the latter in mind, the ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I chose a Jane Matrix/Carrera travel system for our baby born in January this year. Having looked at other travel systems we felt Jane provided the most secure, compact and flexible system for our and our baby's needs. We were very impressed with the fact that the Matrix allows the baby to be transported in a flat position but seated as the flat position is far superior for a new born and better for longer journeys. We have nothing but praise for the people at Jane who designed this system and with our baby now at 5 months and nearly 18lb he is still secure and comfortable when the Matrix is flat in the car, I find this really reassuring as when he is .  Read the complete review

I had been looking forward to buying the buggy/car seat for my baby for a long time, and in many ways I still think I made the right descision. After reading lots of information about babies being in car seats for too long to young, a lay flat was a must. I had looked at the Mama's and Papa's however I think the price for the Jane was more reasonable and after reading a review on safety of car seats the Mama's and Papa's didn't come out great. So I went for the Matrix with the four wheeler Carrera Pro. My baby always looked comfy, laying down and it was great to not disturb her getting her in and out of the car. although the velcro strap in the lay ...  Read the complete review

We loved the idea of our newbaby being able to lie flat in the car seat and this product cannot be faulted for the comfort and security it gave her for the first few weeks. We always like the idea of being able to move the baby without waking her too and being able to put this car seat directly onto the chassis, no bulky seat unit was a big plus too. However that is where the usefulness of this product come to an end. The seat in the upright position is very easily tipped backwards which when you see the number of parent who place them on raised surfaces is quite frightening. There is also the width of the seat, it's very narrow - our baby is ...  Read the complete review
