Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

A lightweight and user-friendly pushchair is essential for people who regularly take public transport or take flights that are frequently hopping on and off. Pick a model that can be folded flat and compactly, and machine washable to clean stains from spilt beverages or leaking nappy.

We love strollers that glide smoothly over pavements and can be mounted easily. Look for car seat attachements that can be installed by themselves, as well as a handlebar which can be adjusted to fit parents of all heights.

Easy to Use

There are different types of pushchairs for all budgets and lifestyles. Some are light and compact and easy to fold and transport, while others feature strong frames that are more durable for long walks as well as use on rough terrain. A lot of them also come with shopping baskets or changing bags so that you can take everything you require with you. Some are designed for use in urban areas, whereas others are designed for travel or country living.

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. They can also be attached to a carrycot that is compatible with a car seat and are therefore portable systems that can be used from birth until toddlerhood. Some come with additional design features like a handlebar that can be adjusted in height for parents of varying heights and a spacious shopping basket or rain cover to keep baby dry.

Three-wheeled pushchairs are more suited to city dwellers as they are lightweight and agile, making them easy to move. Four-wheel pushchairs are generally more durable, making them perfect for families who live in rural areas or are planning to spend a lot of time outdoors. Look for reviews by parents who express their opinions on how easy the stroller is to use - for example, how heavy it is or how easy it will be to steer. Also, be aware of the size of the base and whether your child is stable in it, especially when you intend to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.

Safety

Strollers and pushchairs need to be safe for infants and toddlers to prevent getting trapped. Make sure you choose a sturdy base that won't tip easily and ensure you test the safety harness by placing weight on it, or hanging bags from it, to see how stable it is. Also check the leg openings aren't enough to prevent the legs of a child from sliding through and that the handlebars are at waist-level or slightly lower for more comfortable use. Another crucial feature is brakes that lock the back wheels and is simple to use. It is recommended to look for a model with brakes that are integrated into the wheels instead of being on the frame. This will help avoid pinch points and choking dangers.

A majority of strollers have seats that recline to a flat position which is ideal for newborns. It is recommended that babies lay flat for the first few months for breathing and head control. Some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat but don't actually provide this, so check carefully.

The stroller should have a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps for the shoulders, two straps for the thighs and one around the crotch), similar to those found in car seats. This is vital to protect children from falling out of the pushchair and helps to prevent the child from being pushed over or pushed out by passing vehicles or other pedestrians.

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

Comfort

If you're pushing your toddler around, or carrying a shopping cart filled with nappies and takeaway coffee, you'll want to feel at ease when out and out and about. Picking a stroller with large sturdy, wheels that are puncture-proof and can easily glide over rough terrain, and a smooth suspension will ensure you have the ability to do that.

A pushchair that is compact and folds easily can be helpful. It can be a hassle to squeeze a large pushchair into the boot of your car, or to struggle up a flight of stairs, particularly if you have a child with you. Be aware of what you will use it for, and the weather conditions. A stroller with a hood can protect your child from the elements of wind, rain and sunbeams.

The final factor of comfort is the ease to control and steer the pushchair. Look out for our reviewers' comments on maneuverability, which take into account things like the ease with which strollers pirouette across various surfaces and how easy it is to push chair for sale up hills.

Many pushchairs have accessories that can aid in keeping your baby cool or warm - such as footmuffs and fans. Some brands even have their own nappy changing bags to make the journey with your baby easier.

To increase your flexibility, go for a travel set-up - the frame of a stroller (called the chassis) with an adjustable seat that can be parent-facing or front-facing and a bassinet or carrycot. You can pop the car seat out and on the chassis as needed without waking your baby. This is the ideal solution for parents who are always in motion and require to alter their journey plans.

Style

While the jargon around strollers pushchairs, prams and buggies can be confusing, there are certain things that all of them have in common. Keep in mind that they're designed to get your baby from one point to B. Consider how you'll use it and look for features that are appropriate to your life style.

For instance, if you're going to spend lots of time on uneven surfaces, such as sandy fields or muddy fields, you might consider an all-terrain stroller with large, sturdy puncture proof wheels and suspension to make it more comfortable for your infant. If your baby gets hot on long walks you might want to use a shade to shield them from the sun, or a baby fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs allow you to select whether you would like your baby to face you to provide 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 have an all-flat recline that is suitable for newborns. Some also have a car seat adapter and are compatible with Isofix or are 3 in 1 systems so you can use them from birth.

A twin pushchair lets you to transport both children at the same time. You can find models with two or more independent seats, are lightweight and compact, with plenty of storage space, larger canopies, and more maneuverable wheels. Many of our test subjects liked the idea of a double pushchair but they found that certain adjustable handlebars were difficult to use using just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point and this led to many pushing their hands close to the frame. Certain systems that allow parents to telescopically move into or out of the frame were simpler to use for taller parents.

Stores

The amount of storage space available on a stroller or pushchair will affect the decision to buy it. Check the space available under the seat, the footwell, as well as the large basket. This is a major factor if you're planning on buy additional pushchair accessories such as a tray for parents or a travel changing bag.

A tray for the parent can enhance ease of use by providing extra storage for snacks and other necessities. However, it could also add weight to the stroller as well as its folding dimensions, making it awkward and bulky. It's also important to remember that the majority of tray for parents come with shallow cup holders which can cause things to fall out of the tray during transport or when strolling.

Think about purchasing a larger stroller that can be used with a bassinet if you plan to carry your baby's stroller from birth. These models come with larger storage baskets, canopies that cover the entire area and reclined seats. They are often more expensive than a compact or lightweight stroller.

The ability to maneuver is an important characteristic of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, and how easily the stroller can be rolled over various surfaces, such as grass or pavements. This quality will diminish over time as you and your child increase in size, and the weight of the pushchair increases.

Some pushchairs are made to function as an entire travel system, that is, they can be paired with an infant car seat and converted to an adult pushchair by using adapters. This can make the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child grows.
