Sorry for misunderstanding about the stroller question. Our daughter’s strollers (the first one we had and the Maclaren Major we had until she was 11), were both very simple umbrella types with baskets underneath the seats and we found them more than adequate – both for her in terms of comfort and safety, and in practical terms for the extra storage of items and ease of folding, stowing, etc. You’ll know best of course, but our suggestion would be that if you feel the simpler/more basic stroller we be comfortable for them and easier/simpler to move around, and that it would be adequate until the rest of your possessions arrive, then that’s probably the better option.

And regarding the car seat, and again we’re sorry if you’ve checked already, but are you sure you can use the Graco 4ever in Europe? A very good friend of ours has one and loves it but said she couldn’t use it abroad when on vacation a couple of years ago because it wasn’t EU approved. She could have been mistaken – we just thought it was important to mention should that be the case.

We hope this helps!
