When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with the ease to fold it. The most notable is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your child while folding the buggy. This means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy is stable when folded, meaning you don't need to worry about your child slipping out.

Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold down so small that they fit in the boot of your car, which means they're ideal if you're a frequent traveller or have a small car boot. Some are compact buggies for use in everyday life that have a smaller footprint than the average pushchair, but still offer decent features such as a good recline or lightweight wheels. These buggies are usually lightweight enough to be able to be carried by hand, so Grandma or Grandad can use them in the event of need.

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

A lot of compact pushchairs are extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're ideal for those who are limited in storage space at home or in apartments. They're also light and usually have a rain cover to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this category it is an excellent option for travel because it folds by pressing the button. It is also extremely light, making it easy to use even on rough surfaces. It also has a great suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the world or the parent and the hood can also be extended to offer additional sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller transforms its shape to meet the demands of families growing. It could be an individual stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller to accommodate siblings, or even a triple stroller by adding the third seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a versatile stroller that is able to be transformed to accommodate a car seat, a bassinet for newborns as well as two toddler seats or even a third child by using adapters.

Convertible strollers should come with adjustable features, including the height and recline settings. They should come with large, easy to grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms, or grandmas to push. These strollers are more sturdy than traditional pushchairs due to the fact that they are made up of more components.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a first-of-its-kind that combines a fully-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the necessity for parents to purchase separate products. It is quick and easy to convert to a double or single stroller without the need for tools or conversion kits. It also offers the flexibility of seating with its second seat and pull handle when in wagon mode. While the Larktale is a little heavier than some of our other top-rated convertibles has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. Its biggest flaw is the lack of storage space under the seat. Click here for more info.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include many safety features including the five-point harness for baby. The harness should be able to fit over the shoulders and around the waist, and also between the legs. It is also important that the harness doesn't become loose and that it has no areas where a baby could get their fingers stuck.

There are a number of different pushchair brakes to choose from, and you should choose one that best suits your needs. A foot brake is the most popular and great if you are likely to stop a lot like when you go shopping. A lot of jogger-style pushchairs come with hand brakes. This is useful if you will be changing your speed frequently, such as when running. Some pushchairs have an active handbrake that you can activate by pressing a pedal on the bottom of your foot. This is a great option for parents who are likely to be stopping and starting more frequently because it allows you to maintain your balance and apply pressure to the wheels.

Verify that the front wheel of the pushchair is able to be locked. This is particularly useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A wheel that locks on the front can prevent the pushchair from rolling away when you are in a rush or have a lot of baggage in the rear.

While it might seem like an unimportant thing to consider but the weight of the pushchair is something to be aware of. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with a growing infant and shopping bags. Be sure to know how much it weighs and consider whether you would be capable of lifting it into your car boot and then up a flight of stairs while holding a toddler and juggling a cup of coffee from a takeaway.

A pram bag, buggy or pushchair is designed for babies who sit up and is generally used from six months. The seat can be positioned to face you or away from you depending on how much you want your child to be close to you or explore the world. A lot of pushchairs come with adjustable seat positions, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents enjoy the comfort features of pushchairs - and there are a variety to choose from. Some are better suited for urban streets or rough terrain, while others are not. The brake type is a different aspect to consider. A foot brake, for instance is ideal for everyday use. An active hand brake that is found on pushchairs with joggers is more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important comfort features is whether or not the pushchair features a fully lie flat position for infants. Babies should be in a flat position to develop their spine, and it's important to select a stroller that has this feature from the beginning. This will give your baby a relaxing nap or a rest, allowing more time for outdoor adventures and a healthier, happier child.

If you're going to be using a car seat with your pushchair, you need to choose a car seat that is compatible with the infant car seat. This will make it easier for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also help keep the child calm and less agitated.

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

Another important aspect of comfort is good suspension - especially on the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving on rough terrain or urban streets, allowing you to move over bumps and uneven surfaces easily while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

It is also possible to consider other practical features, such as an ample basket (or separate bag) with reclining handles, an adjustable seat and a ventilated hood. All of these features can assist you in navigating through the city or country and ensure that your child gets the best possible rest for the longest nap possible.
