BabyStyle Oyster 3 Footmuff (Cherry)

Product Information

The wheels also have different colour markings on the inside to make it easier to know which wheel goes on which side, and our tester only needed to refer to the instructions once to figure out how to change the seat position from parent- to forward-facing. The estimated delivery time shows you how long we normally expect your items to take to arrive with you. The BabyStyle Oyster 3 is, quite simply, a beautiful buggy. It looks really smart with large rear wheels and it exudes an air of quality and style.

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? 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. The ventilation window is well placed, quiet, and practical - not only it provides airflow, but also a great view of the child. With the hood folded down, however, you need to push the fabrics inwards manually. Otherwise, it looks a bit untidy. The last small disadvantage: the hood of the model we have tested didn't hold as tight as I would have liked and fell off a few times during folding. This could be just a defect of only our stroller, not a general con. A unique function of the hood / the seat unit is the option to adjust the height of the hood, done by pushing the side buttons, then manually moving. This will also change the height of safety belts and the padded head support cushion. A fabulous function, useful for small children - closer to the hood, they are more protected and shaded. Older children will have plenty of space later, after lifting it.

The BabyStyle Oyster 3 Footmuff coordinates really well with the Oyster 3, although can be used with other BabyStyle products. The footmuff is made with 100% polyester optimising the levels of comfort and warmth for your baby. With the extendable handlebar, which is effortless to use, the pram offers a good range of height settings making it the best on test for flexibility when it comes to daily use by more than one parent or adult. I am confident to say that it is usable until the baby reaches four to six months, depends on the size of the baby and time of the year. A six-month-old child in a winter footmuff may struggle for space a bit unless he or she is on the smaller side.

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

Another technical detail I will mention is the diameter of the wheels - front 19 cm, rear 28 cm. The eye-catching 'turbine' design of the spokes with their silver rims add to the stylish look of this stroller. The shiny parts' design is a bit too much for me, I'm afraid. And with it, I am also worried that with every day's wear and tear, they may get scratched and eventually lose their charm. I prefer only the matt finish, but that is just a matter of personal taste. 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. We have tested the stroller configuration only. Because my youngest child is almost 2-years-old and has outgrown the carrycot, I can only look and touch to review the carrycot - not exactly use it fully. Despite this limitation, the carrycot seemed comfortable. With the length of the mattress of 73 cm and the width of 30 cm, it is not the most spacious one, but not small either. 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. It will fit neatly under the stairs – it would need to be stored upright as it doesn’t stand on its own – and it can be folded with the buggy board still attached, which is a great bonus.

How safe is it?

The Oyster 3 stroller was released by the popular British company Babystyle. It is their third version of the flagship Oyster model, pretty much representing the company's philosophy of stroller making. Compared to its older brother - the Oyster 2, the third generation is quite different, but at the same time sharing all-around functionality, the sturdy and quality-looking chassis, and luxurious details. Out of all strollers, I was asked about this one the most. This may be an indicator of how impatiently everyone was waiting for it to hit the market. Although the Oyster 3 was officially released in Q4 of 2018, it really became widely available at the start of 2019. I have decided to answer as many of the questions as I can by creating a complete, detailed review after in-depth testing, measuring, and trying the Oyster 3 stroller everywhere I possibly could.

The rain cover is effective in all weathers and fits well without a struggle, making it ideal for any sporadic downpour. It's generously-sized, covering the buggy almost completely, and it folds down compactly to fit into the storage basket after use. 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. The Footmuff was designed to compliment the fabric options of the Oyster perfectly, and will keep baby snug and warm in colder weather.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. BabyStyle's five-point harness works well (the clip holds the straps firmly in place), but the strap between the legs didn't fasten tight enough for our tester’s liking – while it was difficult for her seven-month-old to wriggle his arms out, she found it fit her nearly three-year-old more snugly.
