For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.do you want an umbrella folding pram which is more compact like this http://www.baby-pages.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_c opy_of_copy_of_PramsBebe_Confort.html or a flat folding pram where it only folds in one direction like this http://www.mamasandpapas.co.uk/product_details .php?id=2594488&type=I ?
There are many good makes and a lot of pram combinations where the carrier will clip onto the frame of the pram.
One thing to take note of is how long you would need baby to be in the carrier. It is not recommended that baby be it for more than 1.5 - 2 hours at a time as it can affect the spine.
You need to make a sort of wish list of what youd like and then go to a local pram retailer and see whats available.
Will you be using it a lot? Will you mainly use car? What terrain will you push over (small wheels hate gravel) what will fit your car? What budge do you have? etc etc etc.

I want mainly for the car seat but with a frame so i can use when shopping etc, i wanted one that folded as small as possible to fit in the boot, i didnt want to have to get a huge pram out of the car and then have to transfer baby from car seat, the buggy for when they get older is not that important as I have 3 from when I had my son.If I could get a car seat with a basic frame this would be ideal!
I have a Silvercross Linear Freeway, the Ventura car seat goes straight onto the linear frame, i personally dont use that car seat, but it is a good seat, and the frame is unbelievably light!

smallest frame that a car seat will go on is the quinny zapp (�130-�150). You have to take the fabrics off and then can clip a carrier (not sure of makes but think maxi cosi) on it. It comes with all the fixings for this.
The pushchair is the smallest folding on market and will fit in the footwell of most cars. But it is only suitable as a pushchair for babies over 6 months as it does not recline at all.
The quinny speedi and buzz also allows for carrier in the frame and they do recline.
I have both a zapp and a speedi and although I have never used them with the carrier I have found both to be a very good pushchair.
www.quinny.com should give you ideas.

I bought my speedi from this ebayer. They have got the car seat on at �60 BIN and the speedi (not great colour but ok if removing covers) for �99 BIN so worth a a look maybe http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Maxi-Cosi-Speedi-SX- pushchair-buggy-stroller-Steel_W0QQitemZ120077 652034QQihZ002QQcategoryZ66700QQtcZphotoQQcmdZ ViewItem
