About this deal

Unlike many other strollers with a central button on the handle, the Oyster 3 button doesn't get in your way when pushing the stroller with one hand. With four different height options available, parents of every will be comfortable. With my height of 176 cm, I have actually preferred the second-lowest position. Therefore, I presume that the highest position of the handlebar should be fine, even for the tallest of dads. The handlebar is covered in a pleasant-to-touch, stylish structured leatherette, similar to snakeskin design-wise. The same material can be found on the bumper bar. The estimated delivery time shows you how long we normally expect your items to take to arrive with you. The quality of the pushchair as a whole really shines through though and BabyStyle has lovely aesthetic touches, most noticeably the almost-pearlescent wheels, which makes a pleasant change from the usual chrome.

The fabric is tough and hard-wearing, but also simple to clean. We tested a dark colour and found that daily stains weren’t very noticeable. Any marks that could be seen were easily removed with a damp cloth and a good scrub. When it comes to storage, the basket is more than adequate and fits two or three shopping bags along with the rain cover. It didn’t struggle with the weight once loaded either – the basket held firm and the buggy was still easy to manoeuvre.

Larger bundles include extras such as sun parasols, footmuffs and rain covers for the car seat along with a matching change bag, if your budget allows. There’s a choice of eight colours and our test buggy was in the berry colourway. During testing, the Oyster 3 was subjected to spilled milk, mud and juice and all marks disappeared with spot cleaning. Once dried, there were no visible stains. Please note that we are only able to provide estimated delivery timescales on these products so please bear this in mind if you require a product urgently. The buggy design promises to fit a child up to 22kg (approximately four years of age), however our tester felt it would be a little on the small side if you have an older child as they would likely outgrow the seat faster than expected. You need two hands to fold the pushchair as there is a switch either side (which means finding a safe place for the baby when you do it, which could prove slightly problematic on pubic transport), however, once folded, it is compact and light with a clip to keep it in place and a handle for carrying.

Price matching will not be applied to products where doing so would result in a loss making transaction. With your DivideBuy account you get access to these great features: • - Exclusive offers from our Retail Partners Our tester felt that this buggy was compact enough for her needs, but not as small as the Maxi-Cosi Zelia (also on test). It was, however, very similar in footprint to the Bugaboo Fox.

The Footmuff was designed to compliment the fabric options of the Oyster perfectly, and will keep baby snug and warm in colder weather. Perhaps it doesn’t fit your requirements as expected, you’ve had a change of plans or you’ve simply changed your mind.

Looking at the stroller from above, the first you will see is the handlebar. The handlebar is height-adjustable telescopically, which you will activate using a central push button. It literally takes seconds. According to my measurements, the height range of the handlebar is from 99 to 109 cm. Beautiful, completely renewed, versatile. Completely different - larger and more luxurious, yet "of the same blood" as its predecessors. All this (and more) is the new Oyster 3 by British Babystyle, one of the most anticipated 2018/2019 models. We will only match prices on goods that are identical to ours and carry the same suppliers product code. Given the weight and dimensions of the stroller, the fold (even with the seat still attached) is rather compact, which, for me, is a great advantage. I 'don't think there is a car boot too small for the Oyster 3. Nevertheless, if you still need to save some space, you can take all four wheels off. I didn't have to. The WheelsThe handlebar has quite a give, and the telescopic adjusting also contributes to a slight rattling, especially going over bumpy terrain. I would call this area the noisiest part of the stroller, and if you can't tolerate such sounds, the Oyster 3 is probably not for you. The Hood The Fold Initially, folding the chassis may look complicated because it involves several steps. By folding the stroller the third time, I have realized how fast and uncomplicated the whole process, in fact, is. The seat inserts can be removed for washing, but the manufacturer recommends that these are handwashed at 30 degrees rather than being put through the washing machine. Final verdict? I don't have a lot to say about the car seat, we never used the Babystyle Oyster Carapace. The ADAC test results was not the most positive, however; the car seat actually failed them. Of course, like with any other car seat, you will have to pay more if you choose the Isofix base option. The padding of this car seat seems comfortable enough - the materials are similar to the Plus-line car seats from Cybex, while the hood will remind you of Maxi-Cosi car seats.

The last 'general' characteristic of the Oyster 3 I would like to emphasize is its overall look. The stroller looks robust, without being bulky; elegant, without the need to constantly care about keeping it clean and luxurious, without being too loud about it. The Oyster 3 is, briefly said, modestly magnificent. It is an excellent solution for modern, urban parents looking for a practical yet chic addition to their lifestyle. The Handlebar Although the aluminum frame looks robust, the Oyster 3 will fit through narrow alleyways without problems. For making sure of its capabilities, we went to shopping malls during our testing, and the Oyster 3 survived even the sale season. We have also managed to get on and off the bus fuss-free. We will, however, communicate with your pushchair manufacturer on your behalf to help ensure a smooth and efficient repair service.

Once attached to the pushchair, the buggy board can be pushed up and stored out of the way when not in use. How easy is it to clean? Nonetheless, I have a few reservations about the canopy. The reinforced sun visor could be an advantage as well as a disadvantage because after folding the stroller, it does get slightly squashed. If I could change the hood, I would for sure make it even bigger - in terms of hoods, "the bigger, the better" certainly applies. My almost 2-year-old son, Ferdinand preferred the elevated position, but we could use it in the lowest one too. When it comes to space, the stroller will be comfortable for a child up to 3-years-old, maybe even longer - if your little one is not too tall. The Seat Unit It’s well-balanced in general so it doesn't tip over when being pushed sharply around tight corners or over tree roots, even when loaded with shopping, a baby in the seat and a child on the buggy board.
