Graco Mirage

If you don't have children, you may imagine the choice of baby transportation to be a simple one. Prams, pushchairs, that's about it, right? Well, no, actually. There is a bewildering range of options out there, some of which retail at approximately the price of a small car (well, nearly) and are barely recognisable as baby buggies at all. (Those are the ones you see celebrities - stick-thin, naturally, two weeks after giving birth - pushing their ridiculously-named babies in for the benefit of the paparazzi. It's not so much a buggy, more of a fashion statement.) The Graco Mirage isn't making any kind of a fashion statement and is unlikely to make it into the ...  Read the complete review

Prams and pushchairs have become a major investment and it is crucial therefore that you make the right choice. When I was pregnant my mind was in a whirl with the sheer number of designs and models on offer. I didn't really know what I was looking for but spent hours looking anyway! I eventually decided on a Graco Travel System. These are 3 in 1 in that there is a car seat which when added to the pushchair base makes a pram and then as they grew older you have the pushchair. The 3 in 1 option seemed to make the most economic sense at £149 for the lot. A good car seat costs round about £80 so if you bought all 3 items separately you would have a hefty ...  Read the complete review

I am SO impressed with this pushchair. I already had the twin version so I was expecting to like it, but the single version is great. The reason I wanted a Graco is that they have a single handle, rather than umbrella folding pushchairs, which have two. I find it impossible to hold a childs hand while pushing (let alone steering) my two handled buggy, and was fed up with having to use my heavy 2 in 1, hence I was after a Graco. When I saw the Mirage reduced to £39.99 in babies r us, with a free raincover, I had to get it. So, what did I get for my £40? A single pushchair with lockable swivel wheels. The wheels are quite large and seem suited to rougher ...  Read the complete review

Having read the opinions on the Graco Citisport, I dragged my husband over to Mothercare World, intent on buying one. When I had a good look at it though, I was disappointed, and ended up buying a Graco Mirage pushchair. I needed a pushchair to use for either of my children when the other was not around, and to take on holiday. It had to be light, compact when folded, but above all comfortable. Once at the store I decided to place both pushchairs next to each other to compare them. The Citisport, although very light(5kg), had A 'Cheap' feel to it.The talked of 'one handed folding action' seemed impossible to do, so I asked the shop ...  Read the complete review

Like others, I bought this travel system in a sale and was impressed with the price of only £100 but it normally retails at around £119. The travel system consists of a car seat suitable from 0 to 9 months which clicks into the puchchair forming a very neat, compact pram. It is easy to control one handed and has a generously sized basket beneath for your light shopping. The car seat is well padded, with an extra headrest for when baby's really small, and the safety has been proven in a recent fall when carrying the seat (it is sadly not weightless!). There have been a couple of occasions, however, when the car seat has tipped over when driving around a sharp ...  Read the complete review
