Choosing Strollers Pushchairs

A lightweight and comfortable pushchair is essential to those who regularly take public transportation or hop on and off flights. Select a model that is able to be folded flat and compactly and is machine washable to remove staining from spilled drinks or leaking nappy.

We love strollers that glide easily across pavements and can be mounted on kerbs with ease. Look for car seat attachments that almost feel like they install themselves and a handlebar that adjusts to fit parents of all heights.

Easy of Use

There are various types of pushchairs for all budgets and lifestyles. Some are lightweight and compact and easy to fold and move some feature solid frames that are more durable for long walks and use on rough terrain. Many also feature a basket for shopping, or a changing bag so you can carry everything you require with you. Some are designed to be used in the city, while others are for travelling or for country living.

Strollers can be used as early as the time of birth. They allow the baby to recline flat, which is beneficial for lung and spinal development. Many can also attach a carrycot that is compatible with a car seat which makes them portable systems that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. Some models have extra design features, like the ability to adjust the height of the handbar for parents with various heights, or a spacious basket or rain cover that will help keep your baby dry.

Three-wheeled pushchairs for Urban living tend to be more suited to city dwellers since they are lightweight and agile, making them easy to move. Four-wheeled pushchairs are more durable and ideal for families who live in rural areas, or those who plan to spend a lot of their time in the outdoors. When selecting a pushchair, look for reviews from other parents that discuss the ease of use for instance, how much it weighs and how easy to control. It is also important to be aware of the dimensions of the base and whether your child is comfortable in it, especially if you plan to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.

Safety

Strollers and pushchairs should be safe for toddlers and infants to avoid entrapment and other injuries. Look for a base that is stable and wide. You can test it by placing weight on it or hanging bags to test how it feels. Verify that the leg openings on the stroller aren't enough so that a child's legs don't slide through. Also, ensure that the handlebars are placed at waist level or a little below to allow for a more ergonomic use. Another important feature is brakes that lock the rear wheels and is easy to use. It is recommended to look for a brake that is integrated into the wheels, rather than on the frame. This will help stop pinch points and choke dangers.

Many strollers have seats that recline to the position of a lie-flat, making them suitable for newborns. For head control and breathing, it is recommended that babies lie flat during their first few months. However, some pushchairs are advertised as having a reclining seat, but do not actually have this feature be sure to check.

The stroller should come with a five-point harness that can be adjusted (two straps for the shoulders, two straps for the thighs, and one strap around the crotch), similar to those 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 is equipped with an easy parking brake to use and locks the two wheels in front. This will stop the stroller from rolling away while you're unloading or loading your child or stopping to rest.

Comfort

Whether you're pushing your toddler around or lugging a shopping bag packed with nappies and a takeaway coffee, you need to feel secure when you're out and about. Picking a stroller with large, tough wheels that are puncture-proof and can easily glide over rough terrain and a super-smooth suspension will allow you to get the best results.

A compact pushchair and folds up easily can be helpful. It can be difficult to squeeze a large pushchair in the trunk 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, as well as the weather conditions. A stroller that has a hood will protect your child from rain, wind, and sunbeams.

The last factor that affects comfort is how easy it is to steer and control the pushchair. Check out our reviewers' comments regarding maneuverability, taking into consideration things like how well a stroller pirouettes across various surfaces and how it is easy to push it up hills.

Many pushchairs include accessories that can help keep your baby warm or cool - such as fans and footmuffs. Certain brands even have their own nappy bags to make travelling easier with baby.

A travel system gives you more flexibility. It consists of a stroller chassis (called the chassis) and a seat unit that can be set up front-facing or parent-facing and a bassinet as well as a carrycot. You can pop the car seat out and put it back on the chassis as needed without disturbing your baby. This is a great solution if you're frequently on the move and frequently need to change your plan of travel.

Style

There are some commonalities between the various types of strollers, buggies, prams and pushchairs. Remember that they are designed to get your baby from one point to B. Consider how you will utilize it and pick features that suit your lifestyle.

If you plan to walk on uneven surfaces, like fields with muddy soil 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 that can shade them from the sunlight or a fan to keep them cool.

Some pushchairs from birth come with adjustable seats so you can choose whether your baby is facing you to reassure them or faces the world to see it. 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 babies. Some have a car adapter, Isofix compatibility or 3 in 1 systems that you can use from birth.

Another option is a twin pushchair which allows you to carry two children at the simultaneously. You can find models that have one or two independent seat units, which are light and compact, with plenty of storage space, bigger canopies and more movable wheels. A few of our test participants loved the idea of a dual pushchair, but found some handlebar adjustments difficult to operate with one hand. Some adjust by rotating on an axis, which caused many to push their hands close to the frame. Certain systems that allow parents to telescopically enter and out of the frame were easier to use by taller parents.

Storage

The amount of storage space on a stroller or a pushchair deals can impact 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 to purchase additional pushchair accessories, such as the tray for parents or an extra travel bag for changing.

A parent tray helps to make it easier to use the stroller, as it provides additional storage space for snacks and other essentials. However, it can add weight to the stroller and its folding size can make it bulky and awkward. It's also important to note that most trays for parents come with shallow cup holders which could cause items to fall out of the tray during transport or when walking.

If you are planning to carry a baby from birth, consider purchasing a large-sized stroller that can accommodate a bassinet. These strollers come with more space for storage baskets, fully-covered canopy and reclining seats. However, they usually come with a price tag that's much higher than a smaller or lighter stroller.

The ability to maneuver is an important feature of a stroller. It determines how easy it is to steer when empty, and how smoothly it moves over various surfaces, such as grass or pavements. It's worth noting that this quality diminishes with time as your child grows and you add more weight to the pushchair.

Some pushchairs can be converted into a toddler pushchair using adapters. They are designed to fit infant car seats. This can make the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child develops.
