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? So with all this in mind our Baby Birds designers set out to offer a mattress that is as natural as possible without an expensive price tag. The safest place for a baby to sleep is in their own cot, moses basket or crib in the same room as you. 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 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 Travel Systemis suitable from birth, and features new multi-terrain wheels and a lightweight aluminium chassis. The day it arrived I was pretty excited. It matched my carpet! Look at that print! The beautiful blues! You can’t deny this is one good looking pram. I set about unboxing and building it, something I managed on my own and with minimal fuss (score one Ooba, the Bugaboo was not this easy). 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? 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.Why do I need a new mattress?

The 5 point safety harness provides additional safety. The Ooba Travel System is perfect for all weather conditions thanks to its UPF 50+ sunshade protection hood and raincover with zip. What you do get though is a pushchair that will stand out from the crowd, something new and something that is clearly ‘on trend’. We have shown which model of pram the mattress will suit, however most will be multi-fit so they will suit others brands. 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.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...

You have the option of a belt or ISOFIX base and there is a babynest insert for very little ones. I can hand on heart announce that the Ooba is the finest, prettiest, most luxurious pram I’ve ever used and we do have quite the collection of prams to compare it to. Easy to transform, the Ooba can be used in carrycot, pushchair or infant car seat mode (Port car seat available separately). At the end of the dropdown we have listed our template range – they are made to measure as the mattress is a bespoke size. 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.

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. 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. 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.
