Pushchairs: Compare features & prices Petite Star Kurvi Abstract review http://www.which.co.uk/baby-and-child/baby-transport/reviews/pushchairs/petite-star-kurvi-abstract/review/

Travel system
Can the pushchair can be used as a travel system by using it with a child car seat?

Use with carrycot
Can attach a carrycot to the pushchair? Either on the frame instead of the seat, or on top of the seat?

Suitable for use from birth?
A 'Yes - seat is excellent' pushchair has a seat with a backrest that reclines to more than 150 degrees, which is best for newborn babies. The backrest on a 'No' pushchair seat either does not recline to more than 120 degrees, or reclines so the baby lies less than 60 degrees from horizontal; the British pushchair safety standard means that the 'less than 60 degrees' minimum recline can be classified as suitable from birth in the UK, but Which? thinks that this is out of date and believes that a greater recline is better for newborn babies. We follow the more up-to-date European standard and do not recommend these models for babies under 6 months. Pushchairs labelled 'No' do not recline far enough to be suitable from birth, but can be used from 6 months. Pushchairs labelled 'Yes- with carrycot only' are suitable from birth only if you use the compatible carrycot until the baby is six months. The seat on these pushchairs is not suitable for use under six months. The carrycot may or may not be included in the price.
