What are the seat recline options?

Think about whether the handlebar can be adjusted in height to ensure it is comfortable prams for newborns you, your partner or anyone who may use frequently.

Most pushchairs that are "from birth" have a reversible seat unit so that you can choose whether your child sits parent-facing (to encourage their communication skills) or in a world-facing position to stimulate their curiosity and let them know where they are going. Some travel systems have an reversible seat unit that is attached directly to the frame of the pushchair without needing to remove it. This allows you to easily transfer your baby from the car to the stroller, and in reverse.

Make sure the car seat you select is compatible with your pushchair, since not all infant car seats can be used with all pushchairs without additional adaptors. Some travel systems include all the adaptors you need in the box, however others may require them to be bought separately. Be sure to check the specifications of the product or ask your local retailer.

How easy is it to manoeuvre?

They should always be used in conjunction with a pushchair that is lying flat so that the baby can be in a fully reclined posture which is ideal for their lung and spinal development.

How easy is it to attach a car seat or a carrycot?

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' can be connected to an appropriate baby car seat or carrycot for easy transitions from your vehicle to the street. This is ideal for infants since it lets them sleep in a flat position.

After the baby has outgrown their car seat (usually until the age of 18 months) most travel systems can also be used with a stroller, meaning that they will last longer as your child grows. Many travel systems are sold with a separate stroller, but some, like the Doona and the Evenflo Shyft DualRide, have one piece design, which means that the car seat folds up into the pushchair and then folds back to fit into the vehicle's base.

If you decide to use a car seat or a carrycot on your pushchair, make certain to read the manufacturer's instructions carefully and always adhere to their weight, age and size restrictions. Also, verify if your pushchair or car seat have been recalled as part of an recall for safety.

For instance, a footmuff will protect your child from the elements while a parasol made of SPF/UPF50+ fabric will keep them shaded in the sun. Some Pushchairs travel Systems include an ride-on board for toddlers who want to explore the world, but require a little assistance.

What is the weight limit?

A pushchair will usually accommodate babies until the maximum weight and age. This can vary based on the car seat and the pushchair combination you select as well as your own needs, so it's important to check these specifications attentively. It's also important that you check the brakes of your chosen model. They must be durable and easy-to-operate.

Many brands include infant seat adaptors as part of their travel system packages. This allows you to easily clip the car seat of your child onto the frame of the stroller. This allows you to get out with your baby much more convenient. It also means that when your baby is no longer in their car seat and carrycot, they can still use the stroller along with you. This is a great choice for families that have hectic lives and plenty to do daily.

How do you fold?

There are a variety of folds that are available on pushchairs. Some are actually one-handed with a simple press of one button. Others require two hands or just a couple of steps, yet they can be very compact when folded. Some models even stay standing when folded, making it easy to carry around. This kind of design is perfect if you live in the city or commute regularly and want to make the transition from a car to a pushchair an effortless process, or if you have a small boot and need a model that folds up to fit inside it.

Some travel system pushchairs dependent on the model, can be used from the birth of a child by adding a car seat or carrycot. Those that can are often allowed to be used in the cabin of flights and are great for parents that like to do lots of travelling with their family.

If you choose to buy the car seat and pushchair bundle, it's the most cost-effective method of purchasing. The bundle is usually created by the manufacturer and consists of a pushchair and car seat that have been designed to work together.
