My lovely friend from The Mummy Adventure has written me another guest post, the darling that she is! If you read her last guest post for me then you will know that she is a bit of a buggy fanatic like me and it’s because of this that I trust her judgement on buggies implicitly! This is a great post then if you’re in the market for buying a Graco Sky! See what Becky thought of this buggy and I hope it helps if you’re in a dilemma about whether to buy?
I do love discovering a new pushchair and we have been busy testing out the new Graco Sky. It was actually Graco that developed the first travel system all those years ago and that is still what they are best known for. The Sky doesn’t disappoint and has some fabulous features that I need to share.
The pushchair comes in a choice of three colours, black night, sea pine green and purple shadow and all three are unisex enough for both boys and girls. I went for green as I haven’t seen anything quite like it before and it is a lovely and unique shade.
The pushchair comes as a chassis, seat unit, footmuff, raincover and car seat and the seat can be either world or parent facing. This is a huge priority for me as even at 2 my toddler prefers to be facing me as we walk so that we can have a chat as we go. His new favourite pastime is singing me nursery rhymes and it works a lot better when I can hear what he is singing. The seat unit is plenty big enough to accomodate him (and he is a very large toddler), yet it still looks comfortable and secure with my six month old in the seat. The seat is lovely and padded so perfect for smaller babies.
There is a handily placed parent unit by the handlebars with two drink holders and a seal-able middle tub which is perfect for munching on the go. The basket is quite frankly the best pushchair basket I have ever seen and I have been tempted to try and climb in myself to really test it. It has no problem holding my nappy bag, jackets for me and the boys, a small lunch box and my handbag and this is certainly my buggy of choice for shopping!
The carseat is easy to use and comes with a removable frame that helps it attach to the chassis. It seems secure, comfortable and safe and has a removable headrest for new babies.
I would prefer it if the seat panel came off as it isn’t fixed all the way round and it would be great if you could take it off to wash it. The seat unit is fully recline-able though and can be done so with one hand.
The fold is incredibly simple and can be done one handed too which is great for using it on public transport. It is surprisingly compact as well although the seat unit does have to be removed before folding. When folded it is free standing though which is perfect for storing when there is not much space.
This pushchair is much more traditional looking than many of its competitors, but it still has all the features you would want from a travel system. It is sturdy, well built, comfortable and easy to push with such a great basket. I would recommend it as a great value travel system
