Advantages: Large shopping basket. High handlebar. Car seat fits onto system very easily

Disadvantages: Quite big and bulky, doesn't fold up very easily.

We bought this system from Mothercare for £209 and I was most annoyed to see it in Babies R Us the next week for £180! A new colour scheme had just been introduced and it is a very smart navy blue with a beige check lining.

The best thing about it has got to be the car seat, which clips really easily onto the chassis and means that you don't have to wake baby when transferring from the car. The pram itself also seems quite comfortable, and although the wheels squeak and rattle, my son does not seem to mind.
It also has a nice big shopping basket - although it is hard to get anything in and out of this when the seat is in the full lie back position.
It has a high handle too which is useful if you or your partner are tall.

The worst thing about it is that it does not fold up very easily, and the pram would be very difficult, if not impossible to take on public transport. This was not going to be a problem or so I thought when I bought it, but we are moving to a 1st floor flat and I will probably be using buses/trains etc so will be looking for a lightweight stroller and keeping the Denver for when we go out in the car. Also it will keep for when we have another child. I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you travel everywhere by car and will not be needing to use public transport at all. The car seat on it's own is quite heavy, and cannot really be used just as a carrier.
I bought the universal travel system raincover from mothercare to use, this will be OK but doesn't quite fit properly, I would suggest that it would be better to buy the proper Graco Denver one (if it exists!)
