Safety

Strollers pushchairs must be safe for infants and toddlers to avoid entrapment or other injuries. Find a base that doesn't easily tip and ensure you test the safety harness by putting weight on it or hanging bags from it, to test how stable it feels. Make sure that the leg openings on the stroller aren't enough that children's legs aren't slipping through. Also, make sure the handlebars are at waist level or a little below to allow for a more ergonomic use. A brake that is easy to operate and locks the back wheels is another important feature. You should look for a brake that is built into the wheels instead of on the frame. This will help avoid pinch points and choking dangers.

Many strollers have seats that recline to an upright position, which makes them suitable for newborns. It is recommended that babies lie flat during the first few months to allow breathing and head control reasons. Some pushchairs are described as having a reclining seat, but don't actually provide this be sure to check.

Make sure the stroller is equipped with an adjustable five-point harness (two straps over the shoulders, two for the thighs and one around the crotch), much like those in car seats. This is essential to prevent the child from falling out or being pulled out by pedestrians or vehicles.

To increase your flexibility, go for a travel set-up - the frame of a stroller (called the chassis) with a seat unit that can be front-facing or rear-facing and a bassinet or carrycot. You can easily remove and put the car seat back on the chassis without disturbing your baby. This is a great solution for parents who are always on the move and need to alter their journey plans.

Style

There are some commonalities between all the different types of strollers, buggies, pushchairs and prams. 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.

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 separate seat units, are lightweight and compact with plenty of storage space, bigger canopies and more maneuverable wheels. Several of our testers liked the idea of a double pushchair however found that some adjustable handlebars were difficult to use using just one hand. Some adjust by rotating around an axis, which led to many pushing their hands towards the frame. Certain systems that allow parents to telescopically enter and out of the frame were simpler to use for parents with larger hands.

Storage

The amount of storage space in a stroller can influence your decision to purchase it. Look at the space under the seat as well as in the footwell and in the large basket to determine how much you can fit in. If you intend to purchase any additional accessories for your pushchair, such as the tray for parents or a travel changing bag it will be a major consideration.

A tray for parents can make it easier to use the stroller, as it provides additional storage for snacks and other essentials. However, it could also add weight to the stroller as well as its folding size can make it heavy and awkward. It is important to keep in mind that many of the trays for parents come with small cup holders. This can cause items to fall off the tray when you travel or walking.

Consider buying a full-sized stroller that is bassinet-compatible if you plan to carry your baby's weight from birth. These strollers come with more space for storage baskets, fully-covered canopy and reclined seats. They tend to be more expensive than a compact stroller or lightweight stroller.

Maneuverability is one of the most important features of any stroller. It determines the ease of steering when empty, as well as how smoothly the stroller glides over various surfaces such as pavements or grass. This quality will diminish over time as you and your baby grow, and the weight of the stroller increases.

Some pushchairs are able to be converted into a toddler pushchair making use of adapters. They are specifically designed to work with infant car seats. This makes the transition from stroller to pram easier as your child grows.
