Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

A light and easy-to-use pushchair is essential for those who often use public transport or take flights that are frequently hopping on and off. Look for models that fold flat and compactly and is machine-washable to deal with spilled drinks and leaky nappy staining.

We love strollers that glide smoothly across pavements and mount kerbs effortlessly. Look for car seat attachments that almost appear to be self-installing and a handlebar that is adjustable to accommodate parents of all heights.

Easy to Use

There are many different types of strollers pushchairs to suit every budget and lifestyle. Some are extremely light and compact and easy to fold and carry, while others feature larger frames that are more durable for long walks or on rough terrain. Many also feature a basket for shopping, or changing bags so you can take everything you need with you. Some are made to be used in cities, whereas others are intended for traveling or for country living.

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

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs work better for city dwellers, as they're usually lightweight and nimble, making them easy to manoeuvre. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and suitable for families living in rural areas or those who plan to spend a lot of their time outdoors. Find reviews from other parents who comment on how simple the pushchair is to use, such as how heavy it is or how easy it could be to steer. You should also consider the size of the base and whether your child feels stable in it, particularly in the event that you plan to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.

Safety

Strollers and pushchairs must be safe for infants and toddlers in order to prevent the possibility of entrapment. Check for a base that is stable and wide. You can test it by putting the weight on it or hanging bags to check how it feels. Make sure that the leg openings on the stroller are small enough that children's legs aren't slipping through. Also, make sure the handlebars sit at waist level or slightly below for ergonomic use. Another essential feature is brakes that lock the rear facing pushchair wheels and is easy to use. Find a model that has the brakes built into the wheels instead of only on the frame since this can help keep them free from pinch points and choke dangers.

Many strollers come with seats that recline into a flat, comfortable position which is ideal for newborns. It is recommended that babies lie down during the first few months to allow breathing and head control reasons. However, some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat but they don't actually offer this, so check carefully.

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

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

Comfort

If you're pushing your child around or carrying a shopping cart full of nappies and a takeaway coffee, you want to feel at ease when out and about. Selecting a stroller that has big robust, puncture-proof wheels that glide over rough terrain, and a smooth suspension will allow you to have the ability to do that.

Having a pushchair walker that folds up easily and compactly will help. It can be a pain to fit a big pushchair into the boot of your car or to climb a flight of stairs, particularly if you have a child with you. Consider what you will use it for and the conditions. A stroller that has an hood can shield your child from wind, rain, and sunbeams.

The last factor that affects comfort is the ease to steer and control the stroller. Keep an eye out for our reviewers’ comments on maneuverability. This includes things like how the stroller turns on various surfaces and how easily it can be pushed up hills.

Many pushchairs have handy accessories to keep your baby cool or warm - from footmuffs to fans. Some brands even have their own nappy changing bags that make travelling with baby even simpler.

A travel system offers greater flexibility. It consists of a stroller chassis (called the chassis), a seat unit which can be positioned either parent-facing or forward-facing, and a bassinet or carrycot. It is easy to remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without disturbing your baby. This is the perfect solution for parents who are always on the move and need to change their plans for travel.

Style

While the terminology used for prams, strollers, and buggies can be confusing, there are some things that all of them have in common. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they're designed to get your baby from A to B. Consider how you'll be using it and look for features that will suit your lifestyle.

For example, if you're likely to spend a lot of time on uneven surfaces such as sand or muddy fields you might want an all-terrain pushchair with large, sturdy puncture proof wheels and 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 to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs can be adjusted in their seat positions so you can decide if your baby faces you to reassure them or faces the world to explore it. Some pushchairs have a carrycot that flips to face you, or away from you. Others offer a lie-flat recline for newborns. Some also come with an adapter for car seats that is Isofix compatible, or are 3 in 1 systems that allow you to use them from the time of birth.

Another alternative is a twin pushchair that allows you to carry two children at the simultaneously. There are models with one or two independent seats, which are lightweight, compact, and have plenty of storage space, larger canopy, and a more easily maneuverable wheels. A few of our test participants loved the concept of a dual pushchair however, they found the handlebar adjustments difficult to operate with one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point which caused some to put their hands into the frame. Certain systems that allow parents to telescopically move into or out of the frame were easier to use for taller parents.

Storage

The amount of storage space in a stroller will affect your decision to buy it. 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 in. If you are planning to purchase additional accessories for your pushchair, like a tray for parents or a travel changing bag, this will be a major consideration.

A tray for the parent can enhance ease of use by providing additional storage space for snacks and other necessities. It can also make the stroller heavier and difficult to fold. It's also important to note that the majority of tray for parents come with shallow cup holders which could cause items to fall out of the tray during travel or when strolling.

Consider buying a full-sized, bassinet-compatible stroller for if you intend to carry your baby's stroller from birth. These models come with larger storage baskets, fully-covered canopy and reclining seats. They tend to be more expensive than a compact stroller or a lightweight stroller.

The ability to maneuver is an essential feature of a stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, and how easily the stroller glides over various surfaces, such as grass or pavements. It is important to note that this quality decreases with time as your child grows and you add more weight to the pushchair.

Some pushchairs are made to function as an entire travel system which means they can be used with an infant car seat and converted to an adult pushchair by using adapters. This makes the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child develops.
