Now the "from birth" buggy search begins.....

M&P Luna - doesn't get good write ups.
Jane Carrera - can't find supplier (John Lewis do other models but not this one it seems)
Bugaboo bee - hideous and very flimsy looking
Confort bebe Loola - (allegedly fits) again doesn't get good write ups
Petite Star Zia - can't find local supplier

Do MacLaren, Britax or Silver Cross do anything does anyone know??

The 0mth or 0+mth car seat may not be a problem as my sister has a one year old, so will hopefully get hers (and no it hasn't been involved in an accident) just need to make sure I can get an Isofix base for it!!

Certainly rather mindblowing all this stuff!!

Thanks

Petite Star Zia is off sale at the moment as it infringes patents on another small 3 wheeler

Maclaren is probably too long for you
Silver Cross discontinued the product that did fit, the Compact, but it was awful
Britax Vigour 4+ might fit if you take the wheels of it as its smaller than a Bugaboo

A bit more guidance might help, do you want rearward facing? Will you just be using the car seat for from birth (not recommended)? What is your price limit?

Others to consider:

M&P Aria
Quinny Zapp
Britax Verve +

But all of these are forward facing only
