Lightweight

A light frame and puncture-proof tyres are essential to a stroller which can go anywhere. You'll be able to easily navigate any surface from grass to bumpy roads. A pushchair that can be used all-terrain is a bit like an SUV, and can be designed to handle rough terrain, but it can work just as well in urban environments as well.

If you're looking for a light stroller, you should look for one that is compact folding and a brake system that is easy to use.

An umbrella pushchair can require more care than a full-size pushchair because the fabric is less durable. Always follow the guidelines on how to care for it. Check if the pushchair can be machine washed and whether it requires special cleaning products or cleaners.

Easy to transport

There are many things to consider when choosing the right pushchair. The design, size and other features such as three-wheeled, suitable with multiple children, or auto-folding are all important factors. The mechanism that folds can also be crucial, since it can affect the way your buggy is integrated into your daily routine.

The way that your buggy collapses will make a significant difference to your daily life, regardless of whether you choose an umbrella fold or a scissor folding. Umbrella-fold pushchairs, usually lightweight strollers, are named because they fold in a similar manner to brolly. The buggy folds itself by lifting a lever at the rear. The top portion is folded over the lower half. They can be folded using one hand, which is ideal if you are holding your baby and juggling bags.

Another alternative is a model with a scissor fold such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL. These pushchairs have an almost scissor-like fold. This means they fold into a square-ish form. They are easy to fold, but they do tend to be wider than umbrella-fold pushchairs, when folded so may not fit into smaller car boots.

If you're using your pushchair for an e-travel system along with a carrycot, it's worth checking that the seat has a recline that is lie-flat. A pushchair without a lie-flat recline is not suitable for babies. This is due to the fact that they must lie flat to ensure proper lung and spine development.

It is also important to think about how easy it is for your pushchair to clean. Based on the fabric, you can either machine wash it or spot clean it using warm water and a bit of detergent. If the hood is removed, it will make it easier to get rid of mould and mildew. Then you can dry it outside. Similarly, if the pram wheels are removable you can easily rinse them with soapy water to ensure they are well-maintained and in good working order. Raincovers on your pram for newborn should also be checked to ensure they aren't damp or covered with mud, as this can cause rust.
