Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

For those who frequently take public transport or travel by plane, a lightweight and user-friendly pushchair is crucial. Look for one that folds flat and compactly, and is machine washable to take care of spilled drinks or leaky diaper staining.

We love strollers which can easily glide across pavements and can be mounted on kerbs with ease. Look for car seat attachments that almost feel like they install themselves and a handlebar that adjusts to fit parents of all heights.

Easy of Use

There are various types of pushchairs for all budgets and lifestyles. Some are lightweight and compact and easy to fold and carry, while others have solid frames that are more durable for long walks as well as use on rough terrain. A lot of them also come with a basket for shopping or a changing bag so you can take everything you need with you. Some are made for city living, while others are designed for rural living or traveling abroad.

Strollers can be used as early as birth. They allow the baby to recline flat, which is great for 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. Some offer extra design elements, like a height-adjustable handlebar for parents of varying heights, as well as a spacious shopping basket or rain cover to help keep your baby dry.

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs work better for city dwellers, because they're typically light and nimble, making them easy to manoeuvre. Four-wheel pushchairs are more durable, which makes them ideal for families living in rural areas or who plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. When selecting a pushchair, you should look for reviews from parents who discuss the ease of use for instance, how heavy it is and how easy to steer. Also, consider the dimensions of the base and whether your child is comfortable in it, especially if you plan to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.

Safety

Strollers must be safe for toddlers and infants to avoid entrapment or other injuries. Check for a base that is stable and large enough. You can test it by placing the weight on it or hanging bags to check how it feels. Also check the leg openings aren't large enough to keep the legs of a baby from sliding through, and ensure that the handlebars are at waist-level or slightly lower for ergonomic use. Another essential feature is a brake that locks the rear facing pushchair wheels and is simple to use. You should look for a brake that is built into the wheels instead of on the frame. This will help prevent pinch points and choking dangers.

Many strollers come with seats that recline into an upright position, which makes them suitable for newborns. It is recommended that babies lie flat for their first few months to allow breathing and head control reasons. Some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat, but do not actually have this feature make sure you check.

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

Make sure that the stroller is equipped with a parking brake that's easy to use and locks the two wheels in front. This will stop the stroller from slipping away when you are unloading or loading children or stopping to rest.

Comfort

You'll want to feel comfortable regardless of whether you're pushing a toddler or carrying a bag of nappies and takeaway coffee. Choosing a stroller with big, tough puncture-proof wheels that glide over rough terrain and have a super-smooth suspension will help you get the best results.

Having a pushchair that folds easily and compactly will also help. It can be a real hassle to squeeze the bulky stroller in and out of the car's boot or struggle up flights of stairs, especially with a growing toddler in tow. It's also important to consider what you'll use it for and what the weather forecast will be like. Hence, choosing a stroller that has an hood that completely shields your little one from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams is a great idea.

The final comfort consideration is how easy the pushchair is to navigate and control. Be sure to check out our reviewers' feedback on maneuverability, which take into account things like how well a stroller pirouettes across various surfaces and how easy it is to push up hills.

Many pushchairs come with handy accessories to help keep your baby warm or cool from fans to footmuffs. Certain brands come with their own nappy bags that aid in travel with baby.

For added flexibility, opt for a travel system that includes the frame of a stroller (called the chassis) with the seat unit which can be parent-facing or front-facing as well as a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without disturbing your baby. This is the ideal solution for parents who are constantly on the move and need to change their plans for travel.

Style

There are some commonalities among all the different kinds of buggies, strollers, pushchairs and prams. The most important thing to remember is that they're made to get your baby from A to B. Consider how you'll be using it and search for features that are appropriate to your lifestyle.

For instance, if you're likely to spend a lot of time walking on uneven surfaces like sand or muddy fields you might consider an all-terrain stroller with big, tough puncture-proof wheels and a suspension to ensure it is more comfortable for your infant. If your child gets hot on long walks you might want to use a shade to shade them from the sun or a baby fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs allow you to choose whether you want your baby facing you to provide reassurance or if they want to go out and explore the world. Some pushchairs come with a carrycot that can be turned to face you, or away from you. Some also have an infant recline that is lie-flat. Some models have an adapter for cars, Isofix compatibility or 3 in 1 systems that can be used from birth.

A twin pushchair enables the transport of both children at the same time. There are models that have one or two separate seats, are lightweight and compact with plenty of storage space, bigger canopies and more movable wheels. Some of our testers loved the idea of a dual pushchair however, they found the adjustments to the handlebar difficult to control with just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point and this resulted in many pushing their hands towards the frame. Other systems that allow telescopically moving in and out of frame sides were easier to use even for parents who are taller.

Stores

The amount of storage space available in a stroller can influence your decision to buy it. Take note of the space under the seat, in the footwell, and the huge basket. If you intend to purchase any additional accessories for your pushchair, for example a parent's tray or a travel changing pouch it is a crucial aspect to consider.

A tray for the parent can enhance ease of use by providing extra storage for snacks and other essentials. It can make the stroller heavy and difficult to fold. It's also important to keep in mind that most trays for parents have shallow cup holders, which can cause things to fall out of the tray while traveling or when walking.

Consider buying a full-sized, bassinet-compatible stroller If you are planning to carry your baby's weight from birth. These models come with larger storage baskets, canopies that cover the entire area 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 aspect of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, and how well the stroller rolls over different surfaces, such as grass or pavements. This quality will diminish as you and your baby grow, and the weight of the stroller increases.

Some pushchairs can be converted into a toddler pushchair using adapters. They are designed to fit an infant car seats. This makes the transition from stroller to pram easier as your child develops.
