Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

A light and easy-to-use pushchair is essential for people who regularly take public transport or take a flight and hop off and on. Choose a model that folds into a compact and flat shape and is machine washable to take care of spilled drinks or leaky diaper stains.

We enjoy strollers that glide easily on pavements and kerbs effortlessly. Find car seat attachments that install themselves, and a handlebar that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of all heights.

Ease of Use

There are many different types of strollers pushchairs to suit all lifestyles and budgets. Some are light and compact and easy to fold and carry while others feature an extra sturdy frame that's more durable for long walks or 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 made to be used in cities, whereas others are intended for traveling or country living.

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

Generally, three-wheel pushchairs work ideal for urban dwellers, because they're typically light and nimble, making them easy to maneuver. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and ideal for families living in rural areas, or those who plan to spend most of their time outdoors. Find reviews from other parents who have commented on how easy the stroller is to use, like how heavy it is or how easy it could be to navigate. 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 or toddlers to prevent entrapment. Look for a base that is sturdy and wide. You can test it by putting the weight on it or hanging bags to test how it feels. Also make sure the leg openings aren't enough to stop the legs of a child from sliding through and that the handlebars are at waist level or slightly lower for more comfortable use. Another important feature is a brake that locks the back wheels and is simple to use. You should search for a brake that is integrated into the wheels, instead of on the frame. This will help stop pinch points and choke dangers.

Many strollers have seats that can recline into a flat, comfortable position which makes them suitable for infants. For head control and breathing it is recommended that infants lie flat during their first few months. Some pushchairs advertise having a reclining chair, but don't actually provide this be sure to check.

Ensure the stroller has a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps that go over shoulders, two for the thighs and one around the crotch), much like those in car seats. This is vital to protect a child from falling out of the stroller and prevents them from being pulled over or out by cars or other pedestrians.

Check that the stroller has a convenient parking brake that's simple to use and locks the front wheels. This will stop the stroller from moving while you're unloading or loading your child or when you're stopping to rest.

Comfort

You'll want to feel comfortable, whether you're pushing your toddler or carrying a backpack full of nappies and takeaway coffee. This can be achieved by selecting a stroller with has large, tough, puncture-proof tires that can glide across rough terrain. It should also have a super-smooth and smooth suspension.

A pushchair egg that is compact and folds easily can help. It can be a hassle to squeeze a large running pushchair in the trunk of your car, or to climb a flight of stairs, especially when you have a toddler with you. Think about what you intend to use it for, as well as the weather conditions. A stroller with a hood will protect your child from rain, wind and sunbeams.

The last aspect of comfort is how easy the stroller is to navigate and control. Watch out for our reviewers' feedback regarding maneuverability. This includes things like how well the stroller glides across various surfaces and how easily it can be pushed up hills.

Many pushchairs include accessories that can help keep your baby cool or warm - such as footmuffs and fans. Certain brands come with their own nappy bags that help you travel with your baby.

A travel system offers greater flexibility. It comprises a stroller chassis (called the chassis) and a seat unit which can be positioned either front-facing or parent-facing as well as a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and replace the car seat on the chassis without disturbing your baby. This is a great solution if you're on the go regularly and often need to alter your journey plan.

Style

While the terminology used for 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 made to take your baby from one point to B. Think about how you will use it and choose features that fit your needs.

If you plan to walk on uneven surfaces, such as fields with muddy soil, 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 baby is hot on long walks you might want a parasol to shade them from the sun, or a baby fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs let you choose to have your baby to face you to provide reassurance, or outwards to explore the world. Some carrycots have a seat unit that can flip to face you or away from you. Additionally, some offer the full lie-flat recline, which is ideal for newborns. Some also come with a car seat adapter, are Isofix compatible or are 3 in 1 systems, which means you can use them from birth.

Another alternative is a twin pushchair which lets you transport two children at the same simultaneously. There are models with two or more seats that are light compact and have plenty of storage, larger canopies, and more easily maneuverable wheels. A few of our test participants loved the concept of a dual pushchair but found some adjustments to the handlebar difficult to control using just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around a pivot point, which caused some to put their hands up against the frame. Some systems that allow parents to telescopically move into or out of the frame were more convenient to use for taller parents.

Stores

The amount of storage space available in a stroller could affect your decision to buy it. Look at the space under the seat or in the footwell, and in the basket to determine how much you can fit in. This will be a big factor if you're planning on buy additional pushchair accessories, such as a tray for parents or a travel changing bag.

A parent tray can increase ease of use by providing additional storage space for snacks as well as other essentials. However, it could also add weight to the stroller and its folding size, making it bulky and awkward. It's important to keep it in mind that many of the trays for parents come with small cup holders. This can cause items to fall from the tray while traveling or walking.

Consider buying a full-sized stroller that can be used with a bassinet for if you intend to carry your baby from birth. These strollers come with larger storage baskets, canopy with full coverage and reclining seats. However, they often have prices that are substantially higher than a smaller or lighter stroller.

Maneuverability is a critical feature of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, and how well the stroller glides over various surfaces, such as grass or pavements. This quality will degrade as you and your baby grow, and the weight of the stroller increases.

Some pushchairs are able to be converted into a toddler pushchair by using adapters. They are designed to fit car seats for infants. This can help make the transition easier from pram to stroller as your child ages and more independent, which is especially beneficial in the event that you're lacking storage space at home.
