Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

A light and easy-to-use pushchair is essential for those who regularly take public transport or take flights that are frequently hopping on and off. Look for models that fold flat and compactly, and is machine-washable so that you can clean spilt drinks or leaky nappy stains.

We love strollers that glide easily across pavements and can mount kerbs with ease. Look for car seat attachements that can be installed by themselves, as well as a handlebar which can be adjusted to accommodate parents of all heights.

Ease of Use

There are a variety of pushchairs for strollers that can be adapted to every budget and lifestyle. Some are very lightweight and compact, making them easy to fold and transport, while others have larger frames that are more robust for long walks and use on rough terrain. Some also have shopping baskets or changing bags so you can carry everything you need with you. Some are made to be used in the city, while others are intended for traveling or country living.

Strollers are generally suitable from birth, allowing babies to recline flat that is recommended for their health lung and spinal development. Many can also attach a compatible carrycot or infant car seat, making them transport systems that are suitable from birth until toddlerhood. Certain models come with additional design features, like a height-adjustable handbar for parents with various heights, or a spacious basket or rain cover to keep your baby dry.

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs work better for city dwellers, because they're typically light, agile and easy to maneuver. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and suitable for families living in rural areas or those who plan to spend most of their time in the outdoors. Look for reviews by other parents who comment on how easy the pushchair is to use, like how much it weighs or how easy it could be to steer. It's also important to consider the size of the base and if it's solid enough for your child to use, particularly if you're planning to take the pushchair off-road or on difficult terrain.

Safety

Strollers and pushchairs should be safe for infants and toddlers in order to prevent the possibility of entrapment. Look for a wide base that won't tip easily and ensure you test the safety harness by putting weight on it or hanging bags from it, to determine how stable it is. Also check the leg openings aren't enough to stop the legs of a child from sliding through and that the handlebars are at waist-level or a bit lower for more comfortable use. Another important feature is brakes that lock the back wheels and is simple to use. Look for one that has brakes built into the wheels instead of only on the frame, as this can help to keep them away from pinch points and choke dangers.

Many strollers have seats that recline into the position of a lie-flat, making them suitable for newborns. For head control and breathing, it is recommended that babies lay flat during the first few months. Some pushchairs are described as having a reclined seat but they don't. Check carefully.

Ensure the stroller has a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps for the shoulders, two straps for the thighs, and one for the crotch) Similar to the ones used in car seats. This is essential to protect a child from falling out of the stroller and helps to prevent the child from being pushed over or pushed away by passing vehicles or other pedestrians.

Check that the stroller comes with a parking brake that is easy to use and locks the two wheels in front. This will stop the stroller from moving away when you are unloading or loading your child or stopping to rest.

Comfort

You'll want to feel at ease, whether you're pushing a toddler, or carrying a backpack full of nappies and takeaway coffee. Selecting a stroller that has big robust, wheels that are puncture-proof and can easily glide over rough terrain, and a smooth suspension will help you have the ability to do that.

A compact pushchair and folds up easily can be helpful. It can be a pain trying to jam the bulky stroller in and out of the car boot or climb up a flight of stairs - especially with a toddler growing in the rear. Think about what you intend to use it for and the weather conditions. A stroller with a hood will protect your child from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams.

The final comfort consideration is how easy the pushchair is to control and steer. Check out our reviewers' feedback on maneuverability, which take into account things like the ease with which strollers pirouette across different surfaces and how it is easy to push it up hills.

Many pushchairs include accessories that can aid in keeping your baby cool or warm - such as fans and footmuffs. Certain brands even have their own nappy bags that aid in travel with baby.

To increase your flexibility, go for a travel set-up - an infant stroller frame (called the chassis) with a seat unit that can be front-facing or parent-facing and a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without waking your baby. The ideal solution for parents who are on the go regularly and often need to alter your best travel pushchair plan.

Style

While the terminology used for prams, strollers, pushchairs and buggies can be confusing, there are some things that all have in common. The most important thing to remember is that they're made to transport your child from A to B. Consider how you'll be using it and look for features that fit your life style.

For instance, if likely to spend a lot of time on uneven surfaces, such as fields that are muddy or sand-covered, you may want an all-terrain stroller with large, sturdy puncture proof wheels and suspension to ensure it is more comfortable for your baby. If your baby is hot on long walks, you might want to use a shade to protect them from the sun or a baby fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs have adjustable seat positions so you can choose whether your baby faces you to reassure them or faces the world to see it. Some pushchairs come with a carrycot that flips to face you or away from you. Others have a lie-flat recline for newborns. Some also come with an adapter for car seats and are compatible with Isofix or are three-in-one systems, which means you can use them right from birth.

A twin pushchair enables the transport of both children at once. There are models that have two or more seats, which are lightweight, compact, and have plenty of storage, larger canopy, and a more maneuverable wheel. Our testers liked the concept of a dual pushchair but found some handlebar adjustments difficult to operate with just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point which caused some to put their hands up against the frame. Other systems that telescopically move into and out of the frame's sides were simpler to use even for parents with larger hands.

Stores

The amount of storage space available on a stroller or a pushchair can impact the decision to buy pushchair it. Take note of the space under the seat, in the footwell, as well as the large basket. If you intend to purchase any additional accessories for your pushchair deals, such as the tray for parents or a travel changing pouch, this is a crucial aspect to consider.

A tray for parents makes it easier to use the stroller by offering extra storage space for snacks and essentials. However, it could also add weight to the stroller and increase its folding size, making it bulky and awkward. It's also important to note that the majority of tray for parents include shallow cup holders, which can cause things to fall out of the tray during travel or when strolling.

Think about purchasing a larger stroller that is bassinet-compatible if you plan to carry your baby from birth. These products feature larger storage baskets, canopies with complete coverage and reclining seats. However, they typically come with prices that are significantly more expensive than a lightweight or compact stroller.

The ability to maneuver is a crucial feature of a stroller. It determines how it is easy to steer even when empty and how well it rolls across different surfaces, like pavements or grass. This quality will decrease as you and your child grow and the weight of the pushchair grows.

Some pushchairs are designed as a complete travel system, meaning they can be used with an infant car seat and changed to a toddler pushchair with adapters. This can make the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child develops.
