Introduction:
The BabyStyle Oyster 4 has arrived, building upon the success of the Oyster 3. If you’re considering a travel system that combines style, functionality, and adaptability, understanding the differences between these two models is essential. Here is a quick and easy guide of what the differences are and what it means for a new parent.
One standout improvement on the Oyster 4? The easier, one-handed auto-fold — even when the seat is parent-facing. 🙌 On the Oyster 3, folding with the seat facing you could be a bit fiddly (especially one-handed with a baby on your hip!), but the Oyster 4 simplifies it, making life that little bit easier.
