I bought this pram because of the price, I thought it was good value for what we got. The pram is very sturdy and also very easy to steer. It is very easy to adjust between pram and seat. It is also very easy to collapse when putting into the car. It doesn’t take up too much room when folded either. The car seat which comes with the system is the best car seat I could have hoped for. I had a car accident and my 5month old daughter was in the car seat. The car was written off, thankfully the car seat protected my little girl, she didn’t have a mark or a bruise on her body anywhere. Even the police who attended the scene said it was the best car seat they had seen. I couldn’t recommend this travel system enough. I would definitely give it an A* rating. - Strengths:

This is such a fantastic pram for the price. It can be used from birth to 2 years, and comes with a carry cot/stroller and car seat.
Firstly, it looks amazing. It looks so similar to an iCandy without the price tag. We bought this pram in beige and it looks so stylish.
As in a 3-in-1 travel system, the ease of interchanging the carry cot to car seat is seamless. Simply click and go. It's this ease of use that makes it such a joy. The carrycot function is comfortable, and the lining easily removed for any accidents. The car seat itself is pretty light and compact, and the newborn insert and wedge can be removed easily when baby is looking a little cramped. This can also be removed for cleaning, although it cannot be machine washed. Car seat is also super easy to install in the car using the seatbelts, and feels very sturdy once secured. The fabric is hard wearing and easy to scrub clean if needed. The pram hood features a little window that can be opened or closed so you can see your child. The base fits beautifully into our small Mistubishi.
The ease of pushing is fabulous - can tackle any terrain with no bother, and is hardwearing. The wheels are sturdy and there is plenty of space under the pram for bags. It feels light to push and the extendable handle is really handy for comfort. The suspension is great and it really is such an easy pram to use.
The buggy part of the pushchair is easy to assemble and again looks comfortable and stylish.
Only downside is the instructions - luckily its very simple to put together as they are useless!

absolute life saver this pram is. i live in a second floor flat so the fact the carry cot could easily click off so i was able to leave the wheels on the ground floor helped me a lot, and the big under pram shopping basket helped when going shopping on my own with the baby. - Strengths:

After looking and checking a lots of pram we choose mothercare travel system. We travel a lot so I was looking for something what is easy to push and strong. I found everything what I wanted in this pram. I was having trouble to fold it but I am getting better now. - Strengths:

This buggy travel system is excellent value for money and has proved invaluable for almost a year now. The only downside is it’s a little bigger than some when folded but for the price it’s fantastic. Smooth and comfy for my youngest and a good size for his older brother to be able to comfortably push it and feel involved when we are all out and about. - Strengths:

I have the mother care journey in baby pink and I ansolulty love it, it’s easy to use, it’s light, and my daughter loves it , the car seat adapters are easy to put from car to push chair takes less than 2 minutes.
I also like the idea of the handle to carry the base of the pushchair that is really helpful - Strengths:

The pram was great. The car seat was perfect. Everything seemed amazing and then he went into the pram part of the pushchair. And well my baby just didn't seem to sit right in it or seem comfortable. His head rubbed against the top of the roof part when he was sat in the pram and it seemed to annoy him. This was at 8 months old so that was annoying. - Strengths:

This travel system is a good price in comparison to others. The car seat attachment comes with it so you can go out shopping and clip baby in the car seat and on to the pram base. The carry cot also turns to parent facing and front facing when old enough to sit up. There is a choice of colour, I have real and the colours still looking lovely 5 months on. However it is a big pram I think because the back wheels are bigger than the front sometimes it's a squeeze on buses or getting past people in restaurants etc. I would recommended this for the price for definite as most cost at least £400 for the full travel system. This pushchair is recommended up to 4 years old but I would probably use it a couple of years then move on to a smaller more practical stroller that folds. Once baby is out the car seat too that part can't be used (from around 9month i think). It is fairly easy to put together, I haven't tried changing to sitting up forward facing yet so I'm not sure how easy that part will be. - Strengths:

The carry cot was comfortable for my daughter but I couldn't see her so we tried the pushchair which was good as it lies near enough flat. The only problem I had was the straps don't tighten enough to hold a new born securely and I ended up buying an insert to keep her from slipping.
The pushchair steers so easily even with one hand and a toddler on a buggy board it's so practical in this way.
The pushchair folds easily and compact even with the seat attached which makes it better than the last pushchair I had where the seat had to be removed, this is less fiddly and fits easily in my Corsa.
The handle height is easily adjustable.
The basket is big enough for me to keep a bag and 3 coats and baby toys egg, very handy.
It's handy to have the car seat which can attach to the chassis but I thought it looked uncomfortable like a bowl shape and have quickly changed to a different car seat so I took points off the value for money but she actually didn't complain I was just worried about her spine so it's personal preference

It is such a lightweight, easy to steer, easy to fold down and lovely to look at travel system. The pieces clip into the frame so easily and the carry cot part of the system is so much longer than any others we looked at. - Strengths:

Loved this buggy. It took my son from birth to 2 years old. He is a tall boy so could probably last longer if he was smaller. Only downside was that it took a few steps to collapse. The shopping basket is large and the handle can adjust to different heights - Strengths:

I brought the 4 wheeled Mothercare Journey from Mothercare. It came with a free newborn insert and free changing bag, there was also an offer of 10% off. So at £280 for pram/pushchair, car seat, changing bag and newborn insert was a very good price. I highly recommend this pushchair. I have used it for 4 months now.
There is still so much space in pram mode still, my baby is around 14lb now so very spacious. A few weeks ago my baby would hate being in his pram, he loves to look around. So i took the newborn insert out so i could strap him in and sit up slightly. It can easily be turned from pushchair to pram when he has fallen asleep! Even with the newborn insert in, if baby has reflux you can just tighten the strings at the back and baby would be slight elevated!
The car seat is fantastic, its solid and looks and feels very safe, my baby is very settled in the car seat. Although you cannot buy a replacement, so if I (touchwood I dont) become in an accident. I wouldn't be able to buy another. The car seat is very easy to clip onto the pushchair and comes with car seat adapters too.
Its a very well made pushchair. I also got a pram apron, and a footmuff free with it. The material of the footmuff however is very 'fluff and hair attracted' so i literally need to roller it very day.
The wheels are nice and strong and has good suspension. However in 4 months the wheels have gathered a lot of stones stuck in and dents.
Its a lovely looking pushchair, I have it in the teal colour as the frame is black and i find chrome chassis scratch easy. I do not have a single scratch so far.
You can also my extra things using the Mothercare MyGo adapter which i have to attach my Mothercare Parasol and am looking to get the cup holder.
Cons
-foam handle, they can quite easily split
- footmuff material is a fluff and hair magnet
-you cannot purchase spare parts
However I really 100% rate this product as excellent. I walk 3 miles a day doing school runs and it is so easy to push with the expandable handle. Its the best pushchair I have owned! And for the price is incredible!

I bought this pram for my baby girl. She's always so happy in it. It's very easy to steer, so smooth and turns great, even with one hand when your busy. It's so simple to fold down and has great suspension. The only down side is the foam on the handle bar wears and tears very easily once the frame is folded down as it rubs on stuff especially when in the boot of the car. Apart from that I highly recommend it. I love it. - Strengths:

Fantastic value for money, easy to change between the car seat and standard seat unit. Carry cot changes into the toddler seat and both can be parent or world facing. Not had an issue with this product. Only thing I dislike really is the size when it comes to storage but that’s something that can’t be helped with this kind of product. On the plus side you don’t have an extra seat unit like with other branded pushchairs similar to this at a much larger price tag. - Strengths:

This pram is by far the best I have seen for its price! For £299 you get everything you need and the mosy basket is a 2in1 and changes into a pushchair later on, which saves me so much storage in my small flat. Ive been using this for 9weeks now and absolutely love using it everyday! It's so easy to use and everyone has commented on how stylish it looks and is always shocked when told how much it cost as it looks like it's worth more! Definately recommend this to all parents. - Strengths:

We love ours. We brought it in black and with the silver it looks very smart and a lot more expensive than what it is. It comes it lots of colours too, we took ages to decide what to go for. It’s very easy to steer - even for someone like me who’s super clumsy. I practised folding this pram away when heavily pregnant and found it was so light and easy that even with a giant belly I could do it in seconds. It’s just as easy now to do without the belly! One thing I have found with this pram is that it’s slightly on the large side when folded down, so when doing the food run I do have to cram things in my car - although my car isn’t massive so this may not be an issue for the majority of people. I cannot comment on the durability of the pram yet, as I haven’t been using it long but I would definitely recommend! - Strengths:

I bought this travel system for my first born earlier this year after reviewing many different prams and travel systems - at under £300 it was amazing value for money!! Having now used it for nearly 4 months I'm still in love. It is so easy to use and hasn't worn at all (I have the sand colour). I am constantly being complimented by people in the street!! - Strengths:

Amazing system, bought for my first and at under 300 you can’t go wrong. Comes with everything you could need for your little one from birth up to about 9 months when you would need to buy a different car seat. The Moses basket transforms into a seat with straps so you don’t have to worry about buying a new pram once they get walking and are able to sit up. - Strengths:

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.
