How we tested the best pushchairs Unlike many of the pushchairs on our list, the City Tour 2 doesn’t come with a rain cover so you will need to buy that separately. There's also a Baby Jogger City Tour Double buggy if you need to ferry two kids around. Ideally, buy a new car seat. If you're planning to get a secondhand seat, only accept one from a family member or friend so you can be sure it has not been involved in an accident. Do not buy one from a secondhand shop or through the classified ads. Engineered in Switzerland, it scored top marks for safety when we put it through testing with mum of two Liz. Made of heavy-duty materials with large, sturdy wheels and a solid aluminium frame, it can handle all manner of off-road terrain with ease, be that muddy fields or gravel paths.

Lie-flat or carrycot car seats can be a good solution for newborns, especially premature babies or those with medical conditions, who need to be transported lying flat. If you have a car, you must have a baby car seat. Your baby must always go in their seat, including when you bring them home from the hospital. Adjustable seat with both forward and rearward facing modes so your child can enjoy both exploring their world and face time with you Our tester Liz says, “It’s absolutely brilliant in every way, except it's too big to store easily in the car as the wheels have to come off. If space isn't an issue for you (for example, if you can store it in a garage), it's perfect.” Relax knowing that only the finest natural, GOTS™ certified organic cotton textiles surround your little one.

No, only as part of a bundle What we like Comfort and recline: If you want to ensure your child is comfortable, look for a pram that has padded seats. The angle of the recline is also important for ensuring your child can sit comfortably. Some seats have an infinite recline so you can choose the angle, while others may only have a few options. A seat with a leg rest or support will prevent children’s legs from dangling over the edge of the seat - some are adjustable so you can alter it as they grow.

For those who wish to personalise their pram, they can choose from 12 different colourways and add-on many of the luxury Bugaboo accessories, such as the baby bag and cup holder. We recently tested the Bugaboo Fox 3, which similarly feels weightless to push and manoeuvre; but the Fox 5 is even more comfortable to use.

If you plan to have more than one child, some prams can be transformed from a single pushchair to a double by adding another seat. For families who already have more than one child, you may want to go for a double buggy that already has two seats for ferrying your children around. It was praised by our parent tester, Beccy, mum of two to a toddler and preschooler, who said that the Aster 2 “revolutionised our family’s outings,” adding “if I had known about the Aster 2 before our first child, I would have bypassed our bulky travel system and opted for this ultra-compact pushchair instead.” When compiling our list of recommendations, our trusted and experienced parenting journalists spend hours researching each product category, using a variety of sources to evaluate which products are the best. All our travel systems are designed to the highest quality and tested to make sure they comply with the latest European Safety Standards. Our range of travel systems includes stylish and innovative brands such as Baby Elegance, Joie, CBX and Babylo. Carrycots can be useful if you will be using your pushchair a lot and going for long walks where your baby is likely to fall asleep. They also provide a degree of protection from the exposure of wind or rain compared with a lie-flat seat on a pushchair.

We favour their continuous sleep

Integrated rebound bar on base with dual adjust support leg to reduce rotation in the event of an impact This could be in the form of a seat that fully reclines or a carry cot that can be attached to the frame. What are the different types of pushchair? Travel systems It doesn’t just look good though. It’s super functional too, with a world- and parent-facing seat that can be folded down in either position. While you can’t do it one handed like the Bugaboo Bee 6, it's light and compact for fitting into a car boot and you have the option to remove the wheels if you need more space. Many are suitable for overnight sleeping, so they can be used instead of a travel cot in the early months, or even in place of a Moses basket at home.
