Babystyle Oyster 2
The Babystyle Oyster 2 (also known as the Oy2) is an improved version of the popular Oyster. The Oyster 2 is relatively light and narrow, but still quite sturdy. The chunky wheels with foam-filled tires have a light suspension to ensure the smoothest ride. It can handle all kinds of terrain, but it is not designed for off-roading. To get through rougher terrain, optional rear wheels with air-filled tires are available. An enlarged basket can handle even a mountain of shopping.
The Oyster 2 looks more luxurious thanks to the visible silver frame around the entire seat part and hood. The padded seat with built-in mosquito net is even more comfortable. The seat is more upright, so the baby will not lean when sitting. In addition to the three original positions, the fourth - fully reclined position was added, so you could place even the smallest children into the seat. The safety harness have been extended so the larger children will also fit in comfortably. The upgraded hood is more curved, so it won’t rub against the child’s head so soon. In addition, it extends silently so that the little sleeper doesn’t wake up. If you are looking for a full-featured system from birth, you can create it with a carrycot or a car seat. You can place them onto the chassis at the standard height or raise them with the optional elevating adapters.
You can personalize your Oyster 2 by mix and matching different colors. The chassis is available in glossy silver and black. For the new model, you can also pick black or "camel" brown color of the leatherette handle. To the basic black seat, you can add an optional Color Pack. The set consists of a hood, matching seat liner, head support and now a footmuff in a fabric bag. You have plenty of colors to choose from including the popular striped Vogue Humbug. The Oyster 2 underwent a mini facelift in 2016 improving the quality of textiles available in new colors.
The Oyster 2 also came out in limited editions with a hand-sewn leather handle. The City Gray is all in gray, including its chassis. The City Bronze is a combination of beige and black with a bronze chassis and trimmed parts. For the year 2018, the Rose Gold will surprise you by the glossy black textiles that contrast with the pink gold chassis.

Parent reviews of the Babystyle Oyster 2
- color packs for both seat and bassinet part (hood, pad)
- an apron / - thanks to it I can create a "new stroller" when I feel like I need a change of style
- a lot of accessories - built-in mosquito net, raincoat, stroller pad, footrest; in other strollers it has to be laboriously adjusted and the price increases
- comfortable padding and really soft seating in the seat part
- height-adjustable handle covered with eco-leather, also a belly bar / handle in front of the child
- sprung wheels
- spacious basket and especially easy to access
- relatively light, approx. 11 kg
- good manoeuvrability
- window in the hood
- the only major drawback I see is the inability to adjust the height of the canopy as with the newer oyster 3 model - if this could be done, the stroller would last from birth to the end of the stroller need without the need to buy a buggy; but then we wouldn't be able to change strollers so much :)
The ideal city stroller. Smart, agile - it has everything you need. I recommend from birth to about 2 years. Great advantage - the "color packs" .
Not only do I like the stroller, but my daughter does too. She seems to be happy in it 🙋♀️We'll use it 100% 😗
Its a great stroller in my opinion <3 <3 <3
Your questions about the Babystyle Oyster 2
I've noticed that there are 2 stud buttons at the top of the pushchair seat unit (right at the top of headrest, on the inside where the hood starts). I cannot figure out what they are for as the padded insert doesn't have any corresponding buttons to secure it to.
Have you got any idea what they are for???
Thanks 😊
Hey, Jess,
As far as I know, they should be used for an original footmuff.
