Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

If you frequently take public transport or travel via plane, a light and comfortable pushchair is crucial. Select a model that is able to be folded flat and compact, and is machine washable to clean the stains of spilled drinks or leaky nappies.

We love strollers that glide effortlessly on pavements and kerbs effortlessly. Find car seat attachments that install themselves, and a handlebar which can be adjusted to accommodate parents of any height.

Simple to Use

There are different types of pushchairs to suit all budgets and lifestyles. Some are lightweight and compact, and easy to fold and carry some feature strong frames that are more durable for long walks and use on rough terrain. Many come with a basket to carry your shopping, or a bag for changing clothes so you can have everything you need. Some are designed for use in urban areas, whereas others are for travelling or country living.

Strollers are usually suitable for babies from birth, allowing them to recline flat and is recommended for healthy lung and spinal development. Many strollers can be paired with a carrycot or infant seat to make them travel systems. They are suitable for babies up to toddlers. Certain models come with additional features that are designed to be attractive, like an adjustable handbar that can be adjusted for height with various heights, or a spacious basket or rain cover that will ensure your baby is dry.

Generally speaking, three-wheel pushchairs are ideal for urban dwellers, as they're usually lightweight and nimble, making them easy to manoeuvre. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and perfect for families who live in rural areas, or who plan to spend much of their time outdoors. Look for reviews by other parents who comment on how easy the stroller is to operate, for example, how much it weighs or how easy it can be to steer. You should also take into consideration the size of the base and whether your child is stable in it, particularly in the event that you plan to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.

Safety

Strollers and pushchairs should be safe for infants and toddlers to avoid entrapment. Look for a wide base that doesn't easily tip and ensure you test the safety harness by placing weight on it, or hanging bags from it, to determine how stable it feels. Also check the leg openings are small enough to prevent a baby's legs from slipping through, and ensure that the handlebars are at waist-level or a bit lower for ergonomic use. A brake that is easy to operate and locks the back wheels is an essential feature. Look for one that has brakes integrated into the wheels instead of only on the frame, because this will help keep them free from pinch points and choke dangers.

Many strollers have seats that recline into a flat, comfortable position which is ideal for newborns. It is recommended that babies lay flat for the first few months to allow breathing and head control reasons. Some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat but they don't actually offer this be sure to check.

The stroller should have an adjustable five-point harness (two straps for the shoulders, two straps for the thighs and one strap around the crotch) Similar to the straps found in car seats. This is vital to protect the child from falling out of the pushchair egg and helps to prevent them from being pulled over or pushed away by cars or other pedestrians.

Make sure that the stroller is equipped with a parking brake that's easy to use and locks the front two wheels. This will help to stop the stroller from rolling away while you're unloading or loading your child or when you're stopping to take a break.

Comfort

You'll want to feel comfortable regardless of whether you're pushing your toddler or carrying a bag of nappies and coffee to take home. Picking a stroller with large robust, puncture-proof wheels that glide over rough terrain, and a smooth suspension will ensure you do just that.

A pushchair that folds effortlessly and compactly will help. It can be a real hassle to squeeze a bulky pushchair in and out of the car's 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 conditions. A stroller that has an hood can shield your child from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams.

The final factor of comfort is the ease to control and steer the stroller. Check out our reviewers' comments on maneuverability, which take into consideration things like how well a stroller pirouettes across different surfaces, and how easy it is to push it up hills.

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

To increase your flexibility, go for a travel set-up - an infant stroller frame (called the chassis) with the seat unit which can be front-facing or rear-facing and a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without waking your baby. The perfect solution if you're on the go regularly and frequently need to change your travel plan.

Style

There are a few commonalities among all the different kinds of strollers, buggies pushchairs and prams. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they're designed to take your baby from A to B. Think about how you'll use it and select features that fit your needs.

For instance, if you're going to spend lots of time walking on uneven surfaces, such as sand or muddy fields you might consider an all-terrain pushchair that has large, sturdy puncture proof wheels and a suspension to make it more comfortable for your infant. If your baby becomes hot during long walks, you may think about a parasol that will shade them from the sun's rays or a cooling device for them to stay cool.

Some pushchairs let you choose to have your baby to face you for reassurance, or outwards to explore the world. Some pushchairs come with a carrycot that flips to face you, or away from you. Others offer a lie-flat recline for newborns. Some models have an adapter for cars and Isofix compatibility as well as 3 in 1 systems that can be used from the time of birth.

Another option is a twin pushchair that allows you to carry two children at the same at the same time. There are models with two or one seat that are independent, which are lightweight, compact, and have plenty of storage space, larger canopy sizes, and a moveable wheels. Some of our testers loved the idea of a dual-pushchair newborn however, they found the handbar adjustments difficult to use with just one hand. Some adjust by rotating on the pivot point, which led to many pushing their hands close to the frame. Other systems that allow telescopically moving in and out of the frame sides were easier to use even for parents with larger hands.

Stores

The amount of storage space in a stroller can influence your decision to buy it. Take note of the space under the seat, the footwell, and the huge basket. This is a major factor if you're planning on purchase additional pushchair accessories like a tray for parents or the travel changing bag.

A parent tray can make it easier to use the stroller, as it provides extra storage space for snacks and essentials. It can also make the stroller bulky and difficult to fold. It's also important to remember that most trays for parents come with shallow cup holders which can cause items to fall out of the tray while traveling or while strolling.

If you plan to carry a baby from birth, consider purchasing a large-sized stroller that can accommodate bassinets. These strollers come with more space for storage baskets, fully-covered canopy and reclined seats. They tend to be more expensive than a compact or a stroller that is lightweight.

The ability to maneuver is an important feature of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering when empty, as well as how smoothly the stroller rolls over different surfaces such as grass or pavements. This quality will diminish as you and your child grow and the weight of the stroller increases.

Some pushchairs are able to be converted to a toddler pushchair making use of adapters. They are designed to fit car seats for infants. This makes the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child develops.
