Strollers can be used as early as the moment of birth. They allow the baby to lie flat, which is great for spinal and lung development. Many strollers can be paired with an infant seat or carrycot to create travel systems. They are suitable for infants up to toddlers. Certain models come with extra features that are designed to be attractive, like the ability to adjust the height of the handbar for parents with different heights or a large basket, or rain cover that will help keep your baby dry.
Three-wheeled pushchairs tend to be better suited for urban dwellers because they are lightweight and agile, making them easy to maneuver. Four-wheel pushchairs tend to be more durable, making them ideal for families that live in rural areas or are planning to spend a significant amount of time in the outdoors. When choosing a pushchair, you should look for reviews from parents who comment on the ease of use such as how much it weighs and how easy to control. You should also consider the size of the base as well as whether your child is comfortable in it, especially if you plan to use the pushchair on rough terrain or off-road.
Safety
Strollers pushchairs must be safe for toddlers and infants to avoid entrapment and other injuries. Find a base that won't tip easily and be sure to test the safety harness by putting weight on it or hanging bags from it to determine how stable it is. Verify that the leg openings on the stroller aren't enough so that a child's legs won't slip through. Also, ensure that the handlebars are placed at waist level or just below for an ergonomic use. A brake that is easy to operate and locks the back wheels is another essential feature. You should look for a brake that is that are integrated into the wheels instead of on the frame. This will help stop pinch points and choke dangers.
Many strollers have seats that recline into a lie-flat position which makes them suitable for newborns. It is recommended that babies lay flat for the first few months for head control and breathing reasons. Some pushchairs may be described as having a reclined seat however, they aren't. Check carefully.
The stroller should be equipped with a five-point adjustable harness (two straps for the shoulders and two straps for the thighs and one strap around the crotch) Similar to the ones used in car seats. This is crucial to prevent children from falling out of the pushchair and prevents the child from being pushed over or out by vehicles that are passing or other pedestrians.
Check that the stroller has a convenient parking brake that's easy to turn on and locks the front wheels. This will stop the stroller from rolling away when you are unloading or loading children or stopping to rest.
Comfort
Whether you're pushing your toddler around or lugging a shopping bag filled with nappies and takeaway coffee, you'll want to feel at ease when out and about. You can do this by selecting a stroller that is sturdy, large and puncture-proof tires that can glide across rough terrain. It must also have a smooth and smooth suspension.
Having a pushchair that folds effortlessly and compactly will help. It can be a hassle to squeeze a bulky pushchair in and out of the car's boot, or struggle up flights of stairs - especially with a toddler growing in the back. Think about what you intend to use it for, as well as the conditions. A stroller that has a hood can protect your child from wind, rain and sunbeams.
The last factor that affects comfort is how easy it is to steer and control the stroller. Look out for our reviewers' opinions on maneuverability, which take into account factors like how well strollers pirouette across various surfaces and how easy it is to push it up hills.
Many pushchairs include accessories that can aid in keeping your baby cool or warm - such as footmuffs and fans. Some brands have their own nappy bags that make travelling easier with baby.
A travel system provides greater flexibility. It consists of a stroller chassis (called the chassis) and a seat unit which can be positioned either forward or facing the parent as well as a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without waking your baby. This is a great solution if you're frequently on the move and often need to alter your plan of travel.
Style
While the terminology used for strollers pushchairs, prams and buggies can be confusing, there are a few things that they all have in common. The most important thing to keep in mind is that they're made to get your baby from A to B. Think about how you'll use it and select features that suit your lifestyle.
For instance, if you're going to spend lots of time on uneven surfaces like sandy fields or muddy fields, you might consider an all-terrain pushchair that has big tough puncture proof wheels and a suspension to make it more comfortable for your infant. If your baby is hot on long walks you may want to consider a parasol to protect them from the sun or a baby fan to keep them cool.
Some pushchairs allow you to choose whether you want your baby facing you for reassurance or to look outwards to explore the world. Some pushchairs have a carrycot that can be flipped to face you, or away from you. Others have a lie-flat recline for newborns. Some models have a car adapter and Isofix compatibility as well as 3 in 1 systems that you can use from birth.
Another option is a twin pushchair which lets you transport two children at the same simultaneously. There are models that have two or more seats that are light, compact, and have plenty of storage, larger canopy sizes, and a maneuverable wheel. Our testers liked the idea of a dual-pushchair, but found some handlebar adjustments difficult to operate with one hand. Some adjust by rotating on a pivot point and this caused many to push their hands towards the frame. Other systems that telescopically move in and out of frame sides were easier to use, even for taller parents.
Stores
The amount of storage space available on a stroller or pushchair will affect your decision to purchase it. Take a look at the space under the seat, in the footwell and in the large basket to determine how much you can fit in. If you intend to purchase additional accessories for

A parent tray makes it easier to use the stroller by providing additional storage for snacks and other essentials. It can also make the stroller bulky and difficult to fold. It's also important to keep in mind that most parent trays include shallow cup holders, which can cause items to fall out of the tray during transport or when walking.
Consider buying a full-sized stroller that is bassinet-compatible if you plan to carry your baby's stroller from birth. These products feature larger storage baskets, canopies with full coverage and reclining seats. They tend to be more expensive than a compact stroller or lightweight stroller.
Maneuverability is an essential feature of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering even when empty, as well as how smoothly the stroller rolls over different surfaces like grass or pavements. It is important to note that this quality degrades with time as your child grows and you add more weight to the pushchair.
Some pushchairs are made to function as a complete travel system, that is, they can be paired with an infant car seat, and transformed into a toddler pushchair with adapters. This makes the transition from stroller into pram easier as your child grows.
