Thanks for all your help DH and I have almost decided to focu on a pram either 3 or 4 wheeler with the bassinet part that comes out as with DS I used to hate going to places and not having anywhere for him to sleep.

Also found a swing that converts to a rocker and to a toddler seat, love the versatility on that one. We had one of the older versions with DS and he hated it so looking to upgrade with this one.

For the person who asked about portacots, we got one from an auction for travelling and found it to be the most uncomfortable thing! we ended up using it for timeout or storing junk in.
