4.5 stars4.5 stars
The Babystyle Oyster is smart looking compact travel system with car seat and carrycot options. The Oyster has a reversible seat unit and is narrow. It is packed with good quality features like a button recline, easy pop off seat, adjustable footrest, autolock and large shopping basket. The Oyster has an amazing range of colour packs and a choice of chassis colour.
The Babystyle Oyster Max is a stylish and smart looking single pushchair with a hidden secret. The Babystyle Oyster Max converts very easily into a tandem for two children with the addition of a second seat kit.The Oyster Max can take a carrycot and a choice of car seats, and in tandem mode, it can take a 2 car seats, 2 carrycots, 2 seat units or any combination of these - so great for twins or siblings. The Babystyle Oyster Max is one of the best tandems we have tested to date - superb to use, easy to manoeuvre and small folded!
Good value for money. Forward and outward facing. Large basket. Easily customisable with a large range of colour packs. Carrycot, seat unit and car seat options. Narrow - just 56cms wide. Integral UV sunshade and net. Folds with the seat on in both directions. Packed with features that are usually found on a higher priced pushchair. Extendable hood - both with a visor and zip out section. Adjustable handle. Seat pops off very easily. The hood slides up the frame to allow room for an older child.
The Oyster Max is stylish and good looking. It is a single which transforms into a double easily. At approx 59cms wide, its also narrow for a tandem. The main seat can either parent or forward face. The second seat can forward face. The Oyster Max is a great twin option with a choice of two car seats, two carrycots or two seat units, or any combination of these. The Oyster Max works brilliantly and is easy to handle and use. Large storage basket. Great colours! Excellent value for money.
The child feels exposed in the seat. 2 handed fold. Oyster 1 is not suitable from birth without the carrycot. The harness is a bit short once the liner and footmuff are in place. The rear facing fold is long and an odd shape! The seat has a small ledge in the back which means some children don't look like they sit correctly in the seat. The hood doesn't push back flat against the seat. 2 step fold. Will fold with the bumper bar folded down - however the fold is not quite as compact.The lower seat only has a small recline and a small hood.
The user may kick the carrycot when in the lower position, but users report they adjust their stride.
