he Eezy Twist +2 is the latest addition to CYBEX’s stroller range, an update on the brand’s 360° twist model. Suitable from birth in the lie-flat position and until 4 years (approx 22kg) in the forward facing position, it can be used as a 4-in-one travel system by replacing the cot with the COT S, the COCOON S or one of CYBEX’s car seats. We got the CLOUD Z i-Size, which slots onto the frame easily with the adapters and is a good option when you are out and about and need to collapse the frame down on the tube or in a busy cafe. The Eezy Twist +2 was easy to assemble (just slot the wheels on) and the all-black version we opted for is sleek, minimal and stylish. The 360° twist is super easy to manoeuvre with just one hand, allowing you to change the seat from parent facing to
forward facing. The stroller itself is really lightweight and the one hand fold is smooth. The seat can be easily configured into a lie-flat position. We also really loved the all-wheel suspension – making it easier to steer than some of its competitors. All in all, we’d really recommend this stroller for city dwelling parents or families who travel a lot. £369.95, cybex-online.com
ow our daughter is getting a bit bigger, we’ve realised we’ve made a bit of a rookie error. Car seats can be an expensive essential, and the one we bought for our daughter when she was born only goes up to 18 months. For other parents at the kitbuying stage, we’d really recommend the Nuna TRES. Suitable from birth all the way up to 12 years old, the clever design grows with your child. Genius! From birth up to four years old, the seat can be configured to face the rear and then from four up to age 12, you can turn it to face the front. It has six recline positions and 10 headrest positions, for extra comfy napping. Safety is a huge factor for any parent looking for a car seat, and the TRES takes impact protection to the next level. The design is i-Size safe, with a reinforced steel frame, ultra-resilient plastics, removable inserts, Tailor tech™ memory foam and EPP energy absorbing foam. Finally, it’s spillage safe, with two seat covers (one for winter and one for summer), which can be thrown in the wash. All in all, a stylish, clever car seat that’s really worth the investment. £300, nunababy.com
