The travel system is great value for money, especially in such a competitive market. It does exactly the same as some of the designer name brands for a fraction of the cost. The pram can be converted into a pushchair, which in turn can be swivelled around so baby can face away from or towards you. A car seat is included as part of the travel system, which easily clips on to the wheeled frame. At first use converting the pram to pushchair was a little tricky as the instructions are pictures only, a description may have made this process easier. There are straps to push through the back and this is a bit tricky.
Overall, this is a great piece of kit, good value for money and excellent for first time Moms. - Strengths:

I bought this travel system for my baby due in October, we agreed to use the carrycot as a place for his nap in the afternoon, always under supervision. We had to buy a mattress even if they don't advice to do so, it's all fine. Great space under and it's very light to carry, which is good if you plan to use the bus as i will do. The only problem I got is that I don't feel the carrycot totally solid on the bottom of it. It's a bit wobbly, but apparently is normal. - Strengths:

I brought this product not knowing if it was going to be good as their wasn’t many reviews about this pram, and also a lot of people were buying the bigger name brand prams.
I brought this pram and was able to put it all together with no help.
The car seat comes with the pram which makes it easier to get baby in and out of the car.
The pram comes with a lying down part which also turns into sitting position for when baby is older. I have used my pram everyday since my son was born and it’s by far quality for the price. - Strengths:

I love this pram and it’s been great while using the pram stage and if out shopping with the car seat. However I’ve just changed to push chair stage and it’s not the best, it just doesn’t sit correctly and I’m often having to readjust the baby.
The car seat is also quite heavy without the baby in it. - Strengths:

Got this pram second hand from another first time mum.
She had used for a year with her child and there was practically no wear and tear to the pram or frame (just when scuffs but that’s to be expected).
All sections can be removed and washed.
We live in a first floor flat therefore needed a pram that was easy to assemble/take apart for carrying up to our home - and this is perfect!
Minimal effort to take car seat or pram section off/ put on frame.
Frame folds quickly and easily and fits into the boot of our VW polo.
Looks comfy for baby too, with great support.
Overall very happy with the product and would happily pay full price for the item if we had bought it brand new - well worth the money!!

The best travel system i have had, very smooth to push and the carry cot turns into main seat unit which is handy, also had a fairly big shopping basket underneath and was able to fit the lascal maxi buggy board onto it very easily with no problems. I like the fact you can also use car seat on the pram. My baby is very comfortable in her pram and also the car seat. Its very good value for money. - Strengths:

After searching for our first travel system for our first child we tried and buyed the Mothercare Journey. The system comes complete with the frame, carrycot (convertible to toddler chair), car seat and rain cover. Firstly for the price, the buggy is very similar to those of other, more expensive brands, with a chrome frame and choices of coloured fabric. As we brough ours fairly early on we went for black as we felt it was very gender neutral as well as less likey to look dirty after a lot of use! The buggy is easy to assemble, light and very easy to stear. The car seat is durable, safe and comfortable for babies up to 6 months which also comes with adapters to add to the frame. The carrycot is comfortable, long and spacious. As our baby boy is only 3months we have yet to convert the carrycot part to the seat for 6months +. Our only downsides so far for the buggy would be that when the carrycot is on the frame it is very hard to access the basket beneath as it is set on the front side, rather than closer to the handle bar.
All in all we are very pleased with our purchase and would reccomend this buggy for a resonable price.

Lovely travel system, had the buckles on the pushchair not snapped twice I would still have it now for my second child. The staff could not be more helpful and apologise enough. It's very nice to push and sturdy. My daughter always looked so comfortable, it folded down small enough to go into my small boot. - Strengths:

I bought this pram to replace my mamas and papas pram which had let me down. I am so pleased I found it. For the price I paid I feel the quality is excellent. The pram looks just the part when we stroll into baby group and park up next to the more expensive, branded prams. The instructions took a little bit of working out when trying to adjust from pushchair to pram, just make sure you really look where the metal bar and Velcro are supposed to be! In pram mode the liner can be removed easily for washing, perfect for a new baby.
The basket underneath is a good size and ideal for shopping. The only real downsides I found were putting the pram in the boot of the car. Both in pram and pushchair mode the seat needs to be removed before the frame can be folded down. As I like to put the often dirty wheels in the car first, this means always having to find somewhere to put the pram top while I do so. This is fine on a good day, but in the rain or in a muddy old car park it isn’t ideal. The other issue being the spongy handle which unfortunately has now got a indentation in from lying it on another product in the car (see photo). Overall a brilliant purchase and a happy baby and mummy.

I am so impressed with this travel system, as a first time mum I really didn’t know what to chose, but knew I wanted a nice looking travel system that was a reasonable price!
This travel system really ticks all boxes for me! It’s lightweight, affordable, looks lovely, sturdy, comfy and convenient! Comes in a range of colours!
The best thing about this for me is that the pramette reverses and changes into the big seat so you don’t have a pramette lying around not being used!
Only negatives for me (and These are very minor!) is that the rain cover doesn’t fasten down anywhere, and the parasol is a universal one, so you have to buy the parasol and the universal adaptor separately.
I highly recommend this product to anyone that asks!

I purchased this travel system with my first baby and it has everything you need to last you up to 12months, it’s great value for money and with the purchase of the buggy and car seat you receive a free matching changing bag, would definitely recommend it.

Description
The Mothercare 4-Wheel Journey Travel System includes a Group 0+ car seat and pushchair suitable from birth to 15kg.
The 4-wheel pushchair features a convertible pram to pushchair seat unit which can be used from birth- a pram liner and apron are both included to keep your little one cosy and comfy on their first outings.
The seat unit with removable bumper bar is both parent and forward facing.
A cosy, coordinating footmuff and mothercare weathershield raincover are included with a spacious, detachable shopping basket and convenient magnetic pouch providing good storage.
To use the journey as a travel system simply attach the group 0+ car seat which features side impact protection and is suitable from birth.
The car seat should always be fitted into your vehicle rearward facing and secured with the seatbelt.
For newborns, the included liner and wedge can be used and removed from the car seat as your child grows.
The front swivel wheels allow the journey to glide easily over smooth surfaces making it easy to manoeuvre and when pushing on bumpy pavements or over rougher ground the wheels can then be locked into a fixed position to make steering the pushchair simple.
A height adjustable handle allows it to be comfortably pushed by parents of different heights.
The mothercare journey is free standing and small in size when folded and the removable wheels provide the option of freeing up even more space.
