How to Choose a Pushchair Shop

Lightweight

Choosing a pushchair is one of the most important purchases you'll make when you have children. It can be a challenge to select the best style and the right accessory for your family, especially when there are a myriad of options. Our practical guide helps you to understand the jargon, and to find the right pushchair that fits your baby's needs and budget.

The first step is to understand the differences between a buggy, stroller, and pram. A pram has a lying-down position, while a pushchair is an seated position. A stroller is smaller and compact and specifically designed for toddlers. A travel system combines an infant stroller with a car seat and sometimes a carrycot. It is suitable for your child as young as the time of birth until three or four years of age.

There are also twin and triple pushchairs that are suitable for babies with the same age, and others that have a lower age difference. These models are designed to fit up to three or more children and often come with additional add-ons like a baby bassinet with twin rain covers and a soft footmuff.

Another key consideration is the type of brake that your pushchair has. Most have a pedal for brakes that you press with your feet and some come with a hand brake that you can turn on using your thumb. The type of brake that you select is based on your preference and how often you use the stroller. It is essential to check the brakes frequently for security reasons and to make sure they're functioning properly. You can easily test the brakes by pushing a large object, like shopping bags on the floor of your pushchair.

Easy to maneuver
