Cosatto Ooba Travel System 2014 Range - Ooba Travel System

Product Information

The Ooba comes with two parts, the carrycot which is suitable from birth (and absolutely gorgeous… almost enough to make me want a newborn to put in it) (HAHAHAH oh god I need a stiff drink just at the thought) and the seat which is where King Hux would be sitting. This photograph was taken as he was crying and desperately claw his way into the pram which says it all. The kid loves it, what can I say? The Ooba carrycot comes with a raincover which fits really well. It is also covered in the small Ooba leaf logs and looks great when in place. Simply select from the drop down – choose from square, round or combi end. A combi end is a square ended mattress that is rounded/clipped so it is in-between the round and the square ended mattress. Cot Sizes; Small Cot – 117*55cm, Standard Cot – 120*60cm, Cot (120x60x10cm), Large Cot – 127*63cm, Cot Bed (140x70x10cm), 154 – 172mm (M12 x 1.0), 159 – 178mm (M12 x 1.5), 171 – 183mm (M12 x 1.0), 174 – 180mm (M12 x 1.75), What you do get though is a pushchair that will stand out from the crowd, something new and something that is clearly ‘on trend’.

The hand brake is not convenient (a bit stiff and difficult to use in a rushed moment); a foot brake would definitely be a preferable option, and it might also be a good idea to rethink the white wheels, which are filthy in seconds. It does have good suspension and is good on all terrains – and a clever idea to change the direction of the handlebar so that the larger wheels are at the front when using the pushchair off road. The Cosatto Ooba Travel Systemis suitable from birth, and features new multi-terrain wheels and a lightweight aluminium chassis. In a nutshell: so far, so good. The Ooba looks fantastic, is a pleasure to push and does the job. Full marks. Stay tuned for the next stage of our Very Scientific testing method, which involves a day out (possibly with sand?), a time trial for folding/unfolding and more info on just how well those glorious white wheels are holding up.

Dolls Pram Mattresses; Roma Twirl, Roma Stephanie, Roma Annie, Roma Darcie, Roma Wynnie, Roma Polly, Easy to transform, the Ooba can be used in carrycot, pushchair or infant car seat mode (Port car seat available separately). The safest place for a baby to sleep is in their own cot, moses basket or crib in the same room as you.

Standard Pram; Rounded End, Standard Pram – Square End, Large Pram – Rounded End, Large Pram – Square End.The bumper bar is gate opening and fully removable. It comes covered in a contrasting faux half-leather (not shown) and can be zipped off for cleaning – nice touch... I’ve never been one of those mums, you know, who are really in to their prams. I’ve go a couple of friends who go through a different pram every six months but for me it’s never been that important ( changing bags, on the other hand…). I had my Bugaboo Bee+ for Elfie and when Hux arrive the fleet expanded by a double Phil + Teds. I’ve always been pretty happy with these two, they get the job done without any fuss – what more could we want? Organic – the definition of organic in this case means that the mattress is produced or any aspect of production without the use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or other artificial chemicals. The Ooba certainly stands out amongst its peers. It is striking! The chassis is colour coded to match the wheels – even the tyres are white, matching the chassis, the whole thing just looks ‘right’.

The all-round suspension on the chassis provides a comfortable ride for baby and parent and the flip-over handlebar allows you to navigate over rough terrain with ease. To unfold, simply lift up the handle and swing out the front wheels. Install the seat and off you go. Conclusion The Cosatto Ooba chassis has great functionality it is clear that time has been spent to ensure that it will do everything a mum (or dad) could want. It is a shame that the Ooba cannot quite meet the, admittedly, very high quality level of the other brands in this price range. Seat The Cosatto Ooba comes complete with a carrycot that is suitable for occasional overnight sleeping. It weighs 3.6kg. On initial inspection it looks quite shallow. Passing a tape measure across shows it to be plenty deep enough though at 15cm. It is 74cm long and 32cm wide which is actually a very good size. The hood is attached to the handle which comes up to 90 degrees. At the top of the handle there is a foam ‘grip’ making lifting a little more comfortable. Why do I need a new mattress? At Baby Birds we recommend new baby, new mattress’ there has been many researches on babies and their sleeping environment.

Advice & Inspiration

A long pram too, means that although Alexander is a tall 19 month old, he will have at least another year and a half of pram time with the Ooba. It is well documented that chemicals used in foam mattresses can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. So Baby Birds have produced their own range of chemical free baby mattresses. When Alexander finally awoke, he and Oliver had a little run around the gardens together and were fascinated by the Tour de France sculptures! So when Cosatto got in touch a couple of months ago to ask if I’d want to sample their new model, the Ooba, I was a little hesitant. Could it improve on what were my two totally adequate prams? Turned out that yes, yes it absolutely could.

I really am glad that I have been given this chance of working with Cosatto and reviewing theCosatto Ooba 3-in-1 Travel System as I have fallen head over heels in love with it and I adore getting to go out and push Joseph about in the pram. The harness is 5 point with crotch and chest protectors. It is simple to adjust and you can do it up one side at a time, one handed, which is great when trying to deal with a reluctant child. There are 2 positions for the shoulder straps which can be altered via the rear zipped access panel. I love the leatherette handle which gives comfort whilst pushing it and the brake on the handle makes it super easy to put on and off. Putting it up and down is a little bit of a fuss as you have to take the seat unit off but to be honest, I’m not planning on putting it down much so this doesn’t affect me. It also comes with a removable apron and a carry handle built into the hood to make it easy for transportation. The liner is removable and washable for easy laundering. The Lullaby Trust is a British charitable organisation aiming to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy and promote infant health. Here is a list of some of their recommendations;Position your baby at the foot end of the crib so baby’s feet are at the bottom of the sleeping area. That way your baby cannot slip under the covers. Cosatto are without doubt one of the THE movers and shakers in the pushchair arena right now. The Ooba is yet another product that combines sensible pushchair design with on trend colours and materials to produce a very desirable product. So, first impressions? Like I said, this is a looker of a pram. If it were a man it would be a Bradley Cooper. I love that it’s also a high pram, making me feel empowered navigating pavements and parks alikes and also offers Alexander a great view too.
