Our Guide to The Summer’s Best New Pushchairs

It can be so confusing being tasked with the purchase of a new pushchair. These days there is so much choice, from compact, urban strollers, to more sturdy travel systems – you’ll first need to work out what you need.

A few things to consider when buying a buggy:

• Town or country?
• Travel system or basic stroller?
• Your boot space
• Basket space – is under buggy storage important to you?
• Handlebar positioning – if you’re tall you may consider this
• Compact or more sturdy?
• Room for another? Will there be an additional sibling in the next year or so?
• Is it suitable from birth?
• Compatible with your car seat?
