Edwards & Co Strollers: How does the New Oscar Mx compare to the popular Oscar G3?

At the Auckland Baby Show this weekend, Edwards & Co revealed their newest stroller: The Oscar Mx. It is a beautiful redesign of the Oscar, and we were abuzz about it in our shop - and our staff have some strong opinions! The Mx won't hit stores until late October / early November, but for now we'll share our thoughts to help you decide whether to wait for the Mx (or pre-order it) or to go for an Oscar G3.

Introducing the Edwards & Co Oscar Mx Stroller

Julie is so confident this is her new favourite stroller. Her favourite features:

• How easy it is to lift up the seat and adjust it up and down - especially for grandparents!
• The leatherette handlebars and style of this stroller.
• The smoother fold / unfold.
• The larger canopy, keeping baby protected from the elements.
• The increased storage basket.
• Not having to pump up the tyres - ever! 

A recap on the Edwards & Co Oscar G3 Stroller

Erin feels that the Oscar G3 still is a competitive offering. She pointed out that:

• The Oscar G3 is cheaper - especially when you account for accessories.
• The recline lies flat, and there's no need to add in a newborn insert or carrycot if you have a newborn in there.
• The wheels are bigger, and being air-filled will be better outdoors as they help absorb and accomodate for the unevenness of the terrain.
• Larger wheels will be better for those who take their stroller jogging.
