Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

For those who frequently take public transport or travel via plane, a light and user-friendly pushchair is essential. Select a model that is able to be folded flat and compact, and is machine washable to remove stains from spilt beverages or leaking nappies.

We enjoy strollers that glide easily on pavements and kerbs easily. Look for car seat attachments that install themselves, and a handlebar that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of any height.

Simple to Use

There are many different types of strollers pushchairs to suit all lifestyles and budgets. Some are lightweight and compact, making them easy to fold and move some feature solid frames that are more robust for long walks and use on rough terrain. Many come with a basket to carry your shopping or bags to change your clothes in so that you'll have everything that you require. Some are made for urban living, whereas others are made for the country or abroad.

Strollers are generally suitable from birth, allowing baby to recline in a flat posture, which is recommended for their health lung and spinal development. Some can also be connected to an infant carrycot or car seat which makes them transport systems that are suitable from birth to toddlerhood. Some come with additional design features, like a height-adjustable handlebar for parents of varying heights, as well as a spacious shopping basket or rain cover to help keep baby dry.

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs work better for city dwellers, as they're usually lightweight and nimble, making them easy to maneuver. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and ideal for families living in rural areas or those who plan to spend most of their time outdoors. Check out reviews from other parents who comment on how easy the stroller is to use, for example, how much it weighs or how easy it can be to navigate. It's also worth noticing how big the base is and whether it feels sturdy enough for your child, especially if you plan to take the pushchair off-road or over rough terrain.

Safety

Strollers must be safe for toddlers and infants to prevent entrapment or other injuries. Look for a wide base that doesn't easily tip and ensure you test the safety harness by putting weight on it, or hanging bags over it, to determine how stable it feels. Also check the leg openings aren't large enough to keep a baby's legs from slipping through and that the handlebars are at waist-level or a bit lower for ergonomic use. Another crucial feature is brakes that lock the back wheels and is simple to use. Look for a model that has the brakes built into the wheels rather than only on the frame, as this can help to keep them safe from pinch points and choking hazards.

Many strollers have seats that recline to the position of a lie-flat, making them suitable for newborns. To control breathing and head movement, it is recommended that newborns lay flat during the first few months. Some pushchairs can be described as having a reclined seat, however, they aren't. Make sure you check.

The stroller should be equipped with a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps for the shoulders and two straps for the thighs, and one around the crotch), similar to those used in car seats. This is essential to prevent the child from falling out and being pulled out by vehicles or pedestrians.

Make sure the stroller has an easy parking brake that's simple to activate and that locks the front wheels. This will stop the stroller from moving while you're loading or unloading your child or taking a break to take a break.

Comfort

You want to be comfortable whether you're pushing your toddler or carrying a backpack full of nappies and coffee for takeaway. Choosing a stroller with big sturdy, wheels that are puncture-proof and can easily glide over rough terrain and a super-smooth suspension will allow you to do just that.

A pushchair that folds effortlessly and compactly will also help. It can be difficult to cram a large pushchair in the trunk of your car or climb a flight of stairs, especially if you have a child with you. It's also worth considering what you'll use it for and what the weather will be like. Hence, opting for a stroller with a hood that fully protects your little one from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams is an excellent idea.

The final comfort factor is how easy it is to steer and control the stroller. Check out our reviewers' comments regarding maneuverability, taking into account things like how well a stroller pirouettes across different surfaces, and how it is easy to push it up hills.

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

For added flexibility, opt for a travel system - the frame of a stroller (called the chassis) with a seat unit that can be front-facing or parent-facing and a carrycot or bassinet. You can pop the car seat off and put it on the chassis when required without waking your baby. The ideal solution for parents who are on the go regularly and often need to alter your plan of travel.

Style

While the terminology used for strollers pushchairs, prams and buggies can be confusing, there are certain things that all have in common. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they're designed to take your baby from A to B. Consider how you'll be using it and search for features that fit your lifestyle.

For instance, if you're likely to spend a lot of time walking on uneven surfaces like sandy fields or muddy fields, you might want an all-terrain pushchair that has big, tough puncture-proof wheels and suspension to make it more comfortable for your baby. If your baby gets hot during long walks, you might want to consider a parasol which will block the sunlight or a fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs allow you to choose whether you want your baby to face you to provide reassurance, or outwards to explore the world. Some carrycots have a seat unit that can flip to face you or away from you, and some offer a full lie-flat recline suitable for infants. Some 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 alternative is a twin pushchair which allows you to transport two children at the same time. There are models with two or more independent seats, are lightweight and compact with plenty of storage space, bigger canopies and more movable wheels. Many of our test subjects liked the idea of a double best pushchair however they found that certain adjusters for the handlebars were difficult to use with one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point which caused many to push their hands into the frame. Other systems that telescopically move in and out of the frame's sides were simpler to use even for parents with larger hands.

Stores

The amount of storage space available in a stroller could affect your decision to purchase it. Take a look at the space under the seat as well as in the footwell and in the large basket to determine how much you can fit. This is a major aspect if you plan to buy additional egg pushchair accessories like a tray for parents or a travel changing bag.

A parent tray can make it easier to use the stroller by offering additional storage space for snacks and essentials. It can also make the stroller bulky and difficult to fold. It is important to keep in mind that many of the trays for parents feature shallow cup holders. This could cause items to fall off the tray when you travel or strolling.

If you plan to carry a baby from birth, you should consider buying a large-sized stroller that can accommodate bassinets. These products feature larger storage baskets, canopies that have complete coverage and reclined seats. However, they usually come with the price of a stroller that is much higher than a smaller or lighter stroller.

Maneuverability is a critical feature of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, and how easily the stroller rolls over different surfaces like pavements or grass. It is important to note that this quality decreases over time as your child grows and you add more weight to the pushchair.

Some pushchairs are designed to work as an entire travel system, that is, they can be used with an infant car seat and transformed into a toddler pushchair with adapters. This can make the transition from stroller to pram easier as your child grows.
