This
pushchair newborn comes with a huge shopping basket, a clever recline with one hand, and a handy one-hand
folding pram. Its large canopy has an open visor that flips out and a peek-a-boo window that helps protect your little one from the sun. The hood that can be expanded gives your child extra UPF 50 protection and a padded seat with an ergonomic design ensures they are comfy and secure. The cup holder is handy, and there's a storage compartment for everything you need.
Our test participant was awed by the Zelia's handling when he took it out for a stroll around the town. Its front wheels are able to be locked in forward position, and they can be rotated with one simple click of the switch. She tested it on a stony road with bumps and was amazed by how well it performed, despite not being designed for off-road use.
She was also happy with how easy it was to fold. It has a lever on the rear of the chassis that is easy to pull and reach which lifts the seat unit off its base. It is a great design that is safe for your back, as you do not need to remove the seat, simply pull it up on the catch to open and fold it. The handlebar can be adjusted to fit your height too. The Zelia comes with cup holders, a booster cushion, and rain cover. You can purchase Maxi-Cosi adaptors separately. It is compatible with any Maxi-Cosi car seat. It's a fantastic value 2-in-1 stroller that comes with a 3+1 year Warranty.

Created by Christina Milian as part of her AM:PM line, this black and rose gold
travel pushchair set is an excellent quality set that's appropriate from birth. It comes with a good-sized car seat and carrycot so your little one won't outgrow it too quickly. It comes with a variety of other features that are useful, such as a large basket for shopping and a fully adjustable leg rest.
The moms were awed by the ease to move around and how light the stroller felt. They were also awed by the comfortable seat and the large, extending the hood, which offered excellent protection from the sun. It was a bonus that it came with a complimentary rain cover and cup holder.
The classic umbrella-style fold is easy to operate with just one hand, and it comes with a foot-operated brake that's easy to use on your feet as well. The front swivel wheels are able to be locked in a fixed position to avoid driving on rougher pavements or cobbles. The MB250 also gives an extremely smooth ride, even on bumpy terrain and it's quiet too.
This is a very elegant stroller that comes with great extras included in the price like a footmuff, newborn insert and a changing bag. It is fully reclined and can be used in either a parent or world facing modes, which means you can alter it to fit your growing baby. The hood is very large and has a visor that can be zipped up or down as needed.
The My Babiie Katie Piper MBP02 Camo Stroller is suitable for babies from birth and comes with a comfortable lying-flat seat that is cozy and comfortable, as well as a great size. It also has a height-adjustable leatherette handle, a big sized hood and a changing bag that has the option of a changing mat with a zip-up design.
Bugaboo Fox 5
The Bugaboo Fox 5 premium family stroller is well-known for its smooth ride and ease of maneuvering on any terrain. The innovative suspension system blends the front wheel that is spring loaded with an articulated central joint to provide an easy ride for your child. Furthermore, its all-terrain puncture-proof wheels have an extra-large size and are designed to make it easier to negotiate grass, cobbles, sand, and anything else you might encounter on your travels.
Like all the Bugaboo pushchairs that are available, this one was designed with user-friendliness in mind. It features a single-piece self-standing chassis that can be used with either the seat or bassinet (you'll require an additional frame for the carrycot). It can also be folded using only one hand, which means you can fold it on the go without having to to wrestle with the clunky levers. Furthermore most of the parts can be washed in the machine, including the seat fabric sun canopy, the seat fabric and bassinet set.
Another thing I love about the Fox 5 is its surprisingly lightweight frame. Even with the bassinet attached I can easily lift it up into an auto boot without needing to disassemble it. This is an amazing quality-of-life benefit that will save you time, effort and the burden of lugging around a heavy buggy.
The Fox 5 is available in different colors and fabrics to match any style or taste. It's also made to grow with your child and can be adjusted to fit to any age due to the footrest that can be adjusted and the sun canopy. This means that you can keep it in use right up to the age of four, allowing your child to enjoy the ride in total comfort.
The Bugaboo Fox 5 is built in accordance with the company's Push to Zero initiative that aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2035. This is achieved by using 100% bio-based materials and carbon-neutral shipping from their factory.
Baby Jogger City Mini
The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't make a statement in any way, except that it's very lightweight and compact when folded. It also scores well in all of our categories. However it doesn't rank quite as well as its competitors due to a poorly-placed peek-a-boo and storage that's somewhat restricted.
It is, however, an excellent stroller and one of our top choices for families that require something that can get them through daily use and occasional adventure. It comes with a wide footrest that is cushioned. This makes it more comfortable for toddlers. The seat reclines pretty flat, but it took us two hands to achieve. The adjustable calf supports for calf are an excellent feature that allows your child's feet to lift up when they are tired.
The City Mini, like many other strollers in our list features a huge canopy that is UV50. Parents love it. The sun shade is well constructed and can be pulled all the way down which is great because it will keep your child safe from sun without having to constantly tuck it back into place.
The City Mini can be easily transformed into a double-stroller simply by attaching an additional kit. It is possible to use any Baby Jogger car-seat and create an entire travel system from the beginning. The only downside to this is that the addition of a second seat can alter the look and feel of the stroller dramatically and some parents might be a little unsure to handle once they get used to it.
Another alternative to the City Mini is the City Mini GT Double Stroller. The model is a little more expensive than the single City Mini but it does come with some additional features, such as "forever air" rubber tyres and suspension which makes it suitable for off-road adventures. It has a movable handlebar as well as parking brakes that is operated by hand and a more user-friendly design than the regular City Mini.
