Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

For those who regularly use public transport or travel via plane, a lightweight and user-friendly pushchair is essential. Choose a model which can be folded flat and compact, and machine washable to remove staining from spilled drinks or leaking nappies.

We love strollers which glide easily across pavements and can be mounted on kerbs ease. Look for car seat attachments that can be installed by themselves, as well as a handlebar which can be adjusted to fit parents of any height.

Easy of Use

There are many different types of strollers pushchairs to suit all budgets and lifestyles. Some are very lightweight and compact and easy to fold and carry, while others have an extra sturdy frame that's more robust for long walks and use on rough terrain. Some also have a basket for shopping, or a changing bag so you can take everything you need. Some are made to be used in urban areas, while others are made for country life or travelling to other countries.

Strollers are generally suitable for babies from birth, allowing them to recline in a flat position that is recommended for their healthy lung and spinal development. Many strollers can be paired with a carrycot or infant seat to create travel systems. They are suitable for babies up to toddlers. Some of them have additional design elements like a handlebar that can be adjusted in height to accommodate parents of different heights and a spacious shopping basket or rain cover to keep your baby dry.

Three-wheeled pushchairs are more suited to urban dwellers because they are light, agile, and easy to move around. Four-wheel pushchairs are more durable, which is why they are ideal for families living in rural areas or plan on spending a lot of time in the open air. When choosing a pushchair, look for reviews from parents who comment on the ease of use - for example, the weight of the pushchair and how easy it is to control. Also, be aware of the dimensions of the base and whether your child is comfortable in it, especially when you intend 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 putting weight on it or hanging bags to check how it feels. Also make sure 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 slightly lower for more comfortable use. A brake that is easy to operate and locks the back wheels is an essential feature. Find models that have brakes built into the wheels rather than only on the frame, as this can help to keep them away from pinch points and choke hazards.

Many strollers come with seats that recline to the position of a lie-flat, making them suitable for babies. To control breathing and head movement it is recommended that newborns lay flat during the first few months. However, some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat, but don't actually provide this, so check carefully.

The stroller should be equipped with an adjustable five-point harness (two straps for the shoulders, two straps for the thighs and one for the crotch) Similar to the straps used in car seats. This is essential to protect a child from falling out of the stroller and helps to prevent them from being pulled over or out by passing vehicles or other pedestrians.

Make sure that the stroller comes with a parking brake that's easy to turn on and locks the two front wheels. This will help to stop the stroller from moving when you're loading or unloading your child, or while you're taking a break to rest.

Comfort

You want to be comfortable whether you're pushing a toddler, or carrying a backpack full of nappies and coffee for takeaway. You can do this by selecting a stroller that is large, sturdy, puncture-proof tires that glide over rough terrain. It should also have a super-smooth and smooth suspension.

A pushchair that is small and folds up easily can be helpful. It can be a pain to squeeze a large pushchair into the boot of your car or to climb up a flight stairs, especially if you have a child with you. It's also worth thinking about what you'll be using it for and what the weather is likely to be like - so selecting a stroller with a hood that fully protects your child from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams is an excellent idea.

The final aspect to consider is how easy the pushchair is to steer and control. Check out our reviewers' opinions on maneuverability, which takes into account factors 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 aid in keeping your baby warm or cool like fans and footmuffs. Some brands even come with their own nappy bags to make the journey with your baby easier.

For added flexibility, opt for a travel system - an infant stroller frame (called the chassis) with a seat unit that can be front-facing or parent-facing and a carrycot or bassinet. It is easy to remove and replace the car seat on the chassis without disturbing your baby. This is a great solution if you're constantly on the move and often need to alter your plan of travel.

Style

Although the jargon surrounding prams, strollers, and buggies can be confusing, there are certain things that all of them have in common. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they're made to take your baby from A to B. Think about how you'll use it and select features that are compatible with your lifestyle.

If you intend to walk on uneven surfaces, like fields that are muddy or sand-covered You may require a stroller with all-terrain wheels that are puncture resistant. They should also feature suspension systems to make the stroller more comfortable for your child. If your baby gets hot after long walks, you might need to think about a shade which will block the sun's rays or a cooling device to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs allow you to choose whether you want your baby to face you for reassurance or if they want to go out and explore the world. Some have a carrycot or seat unit that can flip to face you or away from you, and some offer an all-flat recline that is suitable for newborns. Some have an adapter for cars and Isofix compatibility, or 3 in 1 systems that can be used from the time of birth.

Another option is a twin pushchair which allows you to carry two children at the simultaneously. There are models that have one or two independent seats that are light and compact, with plenty of storage, larger canopy, and a more moveable wheels. A few of our test participants liked the idea of a double pushchair but discovered that some adjustable handlebars were difficult to use with just one hand. Some adjust by rotating on an axis, which led to many pushing their hands towards the frame. Other systems that telescopically move into and out of frames' sides were more convenient to use even for parents with larger hands.

Storage

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

A tray for parents makes it easier to use the stroller by providing additional storage for snacks and other essentials. It can also make the stroller heavier and difficult to fold. It's also important to note that most parent trays have shallow cup holders, which can cause things to fall out of the tray during transport or when walking.

If you intend to carry your baby from birth, you should consider buying a stroller that is large enough to accommodate the bassinet. These strollers come with larger storage baskets, canopies with full coverage, and reclined seats. They are often more expensive than a compact or lightweight stroller.

The ability to maneuver is a crucial characteristic of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering when empty, and how easily the stroller glides over various surfaces like grass or pavements. This quality will diminish as you and your child increase in size, and the weight of the pushchair increases.

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