Folding

When selecting a stroller, parents are often concerned about how easy it is to fold. A standout is the EeZeFold, which has an amazing one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy also stays standing when folded, which means you do not have to worry about your child falling off or getting harmed during this process.

Some of the really compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they fit in the trunk of your car, which means they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a small car boot. There are some compact buggies that are ideal for everyday use that have a smaller footprint than the standard pushchair, but have features that are good, such as a good recline or lightweight wheels. They're also usually lightweight enough to carry by hand and so can be used by Grandma or Grandad in case they need to.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, as they come with a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They might also be travel system compatible and allow you to attach an infant car seat to the frame with one click.

A lot of compact pushchairs are extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're perfect for those who are limited in storage space at home, or who live in apartments. They are also lightweight, and many come with a raincover to protect them against the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another very popular pushchair in this category that is a great option for travel system prams because it can be folded one-handed by simply pressing the button.

The hood can be extended for additional protection and protection from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be altered to meet the demands of families that are growing. It can be one stroller that converts into a double stroller to accommodate more siblings, or a triple pram stroller by adding a third seat. Our top choice is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a multi-functional stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for infants and toddlers, as well as two toddler seats and even a third child with the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers should have adjustable features, like the height and reclining setting. They should also come with large, easy-to-grip handles that make it easy for dad, mom or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers typically contain more components than traditional pushchairs they need to be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.

Safety

A great pushchair should come with many safety features like the five-point harness for infants. The harness should fit over shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is also important that the harness doesn't come loose and has no places where a child might get their fingers stuck.

There are a variety of different pushchair brakes to choose from, and you should choose one that best fits your needs. The most common brake is one that is a foot brake. It's great when you have to stop frequently for example, when you go to the shops. Many jogger-style pushchairs feature hand brakes. This is helpful if you will be changing your speed frequently, such as when running. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake which operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a good choice for parents who will be stopping and beginning their pushchairs more frequently. It allows you to stay in your position while still applying the pressure to the wheels.

Check if the front wheel of the pushchair is able to be locked. This is particularly beneficial for those who live in areas with steep slopes or uneven terrain. A front wheel lockable can help stop the pushchair from moving away when you are in a hurry or there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

While it might seem like an unimportant thing to consider but the weight of the pushchair is something to be aware of. Even a pushchair that is light can be quite heavy when loaded up with a growing child and shopping bags. Take a look at the weight of your pushchair and see whether you can carry it up a flight of stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying a toddler.

Buggy, pram sets, or pushchairs are designed for babies that can sit up. They are generally used after six months. The seat can be positioned to face you or away from you depending on the preference of your child to be close to you or explore the world. Many pushchairs can be adjusted to seat positions, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are a variety of pushchairs with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain but others are not. The type of brake is another aspect to take into consideration. A foot brake, for example is the best choice for daily use. An active hand brake, found on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important features of comfort is whether or not your stroller has a full lie flat position for infants. It is crucial to select the pushchair with this feature right from birth. This will allow your baby to grow into an upright position. This will allow your baby to sleep or relax in a comfortable position, allowing for more time outdoors as well as a happier and healthier child.

It is crucial to select a pushchair that is compatible with the infant car seat you've selected. This will make it easy for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs come with a smart adaptor for car seats that enables you to connect your car seat. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands offer a bundle that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

A well-designed suspension system is also important, especially for the front wheels. This can make a big difference when driving on rough roads or in urban streets, allowing you to get over bumps and uneven surfaces easily while keeping your baby comfortable.

Other practical comfort features that you should look out for include a spacious shopping basket (or even an additional bag) as well as a the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat and a the hood that is ventilated. Having all of these features will allow you navigate around town or country, and ensure your little one has the best sleep possible for the longest nap possible.
