Folding

When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with how easy it will be to fold it. A standout is the EeZeFold which features an incredible one-handed fold which allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy, meaning you don't need to move between the two. The buggy is stable when folded, meaning you don't need to be concerned about your child slipping out.

Some of the most compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they fit in the boot of your car, which means they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a small car boot. Some are small buggies designed for everyday use, which have smaller footprints than average pushchair car seat, but still offer decent features such as recline that is comfortable or light wheels. They're also typically light enough to carry by hand and so can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, since some have a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They could also be travel system compatible which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame in just a click.

While they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggy many Compact Pushchair pushchairs still take up very little space when folded with the seat in which is why they're ideal for those who are tight on storage space at their homes or an apartment. They're also lightweight and often have a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the requirements of families that are growing. It can begin as a single stroller, change into a double stroller for siblings, and even a triple stroller by the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. Our top pick, the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for newborns, one or two toddler seats, and even a third child with the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers must have adjustable features, like the height and reclining setting. They should also come with large, easy-to-grip handles that make it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. These strollers are more sturdy than traditional pushchairs due to the fact that they are made up of more components.

Safety

A great pushchair should come with a number of safety features like a five point harness for infants. The harness should be able to fit over the shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is crucial that the harness does not come loose, and that there are no areas that children's fingers might become stuck.

There are a variety of different brakes for pushchairs, so pick the one that best suits your needs. The most commonly used brake is a foot brake. It's great if you stop a lot for example, when you shop. A hand brake is found on many jogger style pushchairs, and is more appropriate if you are going to be able to change momentum frequently, for instance, when going for an exercise. Some pushchairs feature an active handbrake that you can activate by pressing a pedal at the bottom of your foot. This is a great option for parents who will be stopping and starting their pushchairs more often. It allows you to stay in your position while still applying the pressure to the wheels.

Examine if the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This can be very helpful for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A lockable wheel in the front of the pushchair can prevent the pushchair from slipping away if you're in a hurry or have a lot of baggage in the rear.

While it might appear to be a minor issue but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a small pushchair can be quite heavy when loaded with a growing baby and shopping bags. Check the weight of your stroller and see if you can lift it up stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying an infant.

Buggy prams, pushchairs, or prams are designed for babies that can sit up. They are usually used after the age of six months. They come with a seat that can face toward you to bond with you and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs have adjustable seat positions, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs with features for comfort that parents love. Some are more suited to rough terrain or city streets than others and the type of brake is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for example, is best suited to daily use. A hand brake that is active that is found on pushchairs with joggers, can be more responsive when on an adventure.

One of the most important features of comfort is whether or not your pushchair has a full lie flat position for infants. Babies need to be in a completely flat position to develop their spine, and it is important to choose a pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will allow your baby to nap or rest comfortably, which will allow for more time outdoors and a more relaxed and healthier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat along with your pushchair, it's important to choose a car seat that is compatible with your chosen infant car seat. This will make it simple for you to move your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs feature a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to easily attach your car seat to the frame. This means that you can use the same seat from birth to toddlerhood, which saves money and time. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot, and adaptors, along with an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

A good suspension system is also crucial particularly for the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving over rough roads or city streets, allowing you navigate bumps and uneven surface with ease while keeping baby safe.

Other useful comfort features you should look for include a large shopping basket (or even a separate bag) as well as a the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and the hood that is ventilated. All of these features can help you navigate through the city or country and ensure that your child has the best possible sleep for his longest naps.
