Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

For those who regularly take public transport or travel by plane, a lightweight and easy-touse pushchair is crucial. Find one that folds into a compact and flat shape and is machine-washable to deal with spilled drinks and leaky nappy staining.

We love strollers that can easily glide across pavements and can be mounted on kerbs with ease. Look for car seat attachments that almost appear to be self-installing and a handlebar that adjusts to fit parents of all sizes.

Easy to Use

There are a variety of pushchairs for strollers that can be adapted to all budgets and lifestyles. Some are very lightweight and compact and easy to fold and transport, while others have an extra sturdy frame that's more sturdy for long walks or use on rough terrain. Some also have shopping baskets or changing bags so you can carry everything you require with you. Some are designed for use in cities, whereas others are intended for traveling or country living.

Strollers are generally suitable for babies from birth, allowing them to recline in a flat position, which is recommended for healthy lung and spinal development. A lot of strollers can be equipped with a carrycot or infant seat to create travel systems. They are suitable for infants to toddlers. Certain models come with additional design features, such as an adjustable handbar that can be adjusted for height with different heights or a spacious basket or rain cover that can ensure your baby is dry.

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs are more suitable for urban dwellers since they're generally light and agile, making them easy to manoeuvre. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and ideal for families who live in rural areas, or who plan to spend most of their time in the outdoors. When you're choosing a new pushchair, look for reviews from other parents that review the ease of using it - for example, the weight of the pushchair and how easy it is to control. It's also worth considering how large the base and if it's stable enough for your child to use, particularly if you intend to use the pushchair off-road or on rough terrain.

Safety

Strollers pushchairs must be safe for toddlers and infants to avoid entrapment and other injuries. Make sure you choose a sturdy base that won't tip easily and make sure you can test the safety harness by putting weight on it or hanging bags from it, to see how stable it feels. Also check the leg openings aren't enough to stop the legs of a baby from sliding through, and ensure that the handlebars are at waist-level or a bit lower for more comfortable use. Another important feature is brakes that lock the back wheels and is simple to use. It is recommended to look for a brake that is integrated into the wheels, rather than on the frame. This will help to avoid pinch points and choking dangers.

Many strollers come with seats that can recline into a flat, comfortable position which is ideal for newborns. For better control of the head and breathing it is recommended that babies lay flat for the first few months. However, some pushchairs are advertised as having a reclining seat, but don't actually provide this make sure you check.

Make sure that the stroller is fitted with a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps that go over shoulders, two straps for the thighs, and one for the crotch) Similar to the ones used in car seats. This is important to protect the child from falling out and being pulled away by pedestrians or vehicles.

Make sure that the stroller comes with an easy parking brake that is easy to activate and that locks the front wheels. This will help to stop the stroller rolling away while you're unloading or loading your child or when you're stopping to rest.

Comfort

If you're pushing your toddler around, or carrying a shopping bag full of nappies and a takeaway coffee, you need to feel at ease when out and out and about. You can achieve this by selecting a stroller with has large, tough, puncture-proof tires that are able to glide over rough terrain. It must also have a super-smooth and smooth suspension.

A compact pushchair and folds easily can be helpful. It can be a pain to fit a big pushchair in the trunk of your car, or to climb a flight of stairs, especially if you have a toddler with you. Think about what you intend to use it for, as well as the conditions. A stroller that has an hood can shield your child from wind, rain and sunbeams.

The last factor that affects comfort is how easy it is to control and steer the pushchair. Watch out for our reviewers' comments on maneuverability. This is a way to gauge how the stroller pirouettes over different surfaces and how it is able to be easily pushed up hills.

Many pushchairs come with accessories that can aid in keeping your baby cool or warm like fans and footmuffs. Some brands even come with their own nappy changing bags to make travelling with baby even simpler.

For greater flexibility, opt for a travel system - an infant stroller frame (called the chassis) with the seat unit which can be front-facing or rear-facing and a carrycot or bassinet. You can take the car seat off and put it back on the chassis as necessary without having to wake your baby. The perfect solution if you're on the go regularly and often have to alter your plan of travel.

Style

While the terminology used for prams, strollers, pushchairs and buggies can be confusing, there are certain things that they all have in common. The most important thing to remember is that they're made to transport your child from A to B. Think about how you will utilize it and pick features that suit your lifestyle.

If you are planning to walk on uneven surfaces, like sand and muddy fields, you may need a stroller with all-terrain tires that are puncture-proof. They should also have suspension to make the stroller more comfortable for your child. If your child gets hot during long walks, you may want to consider a parasol that will shade them from the sun or a fan to help them stay cool.

Some pushchairs from birth let you choose to have your baby to face you for reassurance or to look outwards to explore the world. Some pushchairs have a carrycot that flips to face you or away from you. Others have an infant recline that is lie-flat. Some also have a car seat adapter that is Isofix compatible, or are 3 in 1 systems so you can use them from birth.

Another alternative is a twin pushchair which allows you to carry two children at the time. There are models that have two or more seats, which are lightweight and compact, with plenty of storage, larger canopy sizes, and a maneuverable wheel. A few of our test participants loved the idea of a dual-pushchair however, they found the handbar adjustments difficult to use with just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point and this led to many pushing their hands towards the frame. Some systems that allow parents to telescopically move into and out of the frame were simpler to use for taller parents.

Stores

The amount of storage space on a stroller or a pushchair could influence your decision to purchase it. Examine the space available under the seat, in the footwell, and the large basket. This is a major factor if you're planning to purchase additional accessories for your pushchair, such as a parent tray or an extra travel bag for changing.

A tray for the parent can enhance ease of use by providing additional storage space for snacks as well as other essentials. However, it can add weight to the stroller and increase its folding size, making it awkward and bulky. It's also important to keep in mind that most trays for parents include shallow cup holders, which can cause things to fall out of the tray while traveling or when walking.

Think about purchasing a larger stroller that can be used with a bassinet if you plan to carry your baby's weight from birth. These models come with bigger storage baskets, canopies that have complete coverage and reclining seats. They are often more expensive than a compact stroller or a stroller that is lightweight.

Maneuverability is one of the most important features of any stroller. It determines how it is easy to steer even when empty and how smoothly it moves over different surfaces, such as grass or pavements. This quality will diminish over time as you and your child grow, and the weight of the pushchair grows.

Some pushchairs can be transformed to a toddler pushchair using adapters. They are specifically designed to work with an infant car seats. This can make the transition from stroller to pram easier as your child develops.
