What are the most popular pushchairs, buggies or strollers?
There are many different brands out there, all selling lots of different models so it can be a minefield and feel impossible to know what’s trendy and what’s not!
Do you go for a 3-in-1 pushchair, a 2-in-1 pushchair, a stroller, a forward facing buggy, a complete travel system, a 2-seater, a 3-seater, a carrycot, 4 wheels or a 3-wheeler?
Do you get a Quinny, a Maxi-Cosi, a Cosatto, a Neonato, a Little Sheild, a Hauck, a Zorbit, a Solaris, an AirBuggy, a CAM, or a Tippitoes? If this is your first time choosing you might need some help!!
Make sure you find out what each pushchair or buggy has to offer - what are it’s main features, who is it aimed at, how heavy is it, how easy is it to fold, which way will your baby face, what terrain can it tackle, how manoeuvrable is it, etc? And then make sure that you like it and decide whether it is good value for money – bearing in mind that a good pushchair or buggy should last for up to five years.
You might also want to go further and choose your pushchairs or buggies according to style and colour. If you have a little baby girl and you want a trendy pink 3-wheeler, Quinny make a gorgeous one called a Quinny Zapp Stroller in bright pink.
It’s features include an ultra compact 3-D fold, a highly manoeuvrable front wheel that can rotate 360 degrees and can be locked, a sun canopy, rain cover and adapters for use with a Maxi-Cosi infant carrier (sold separately), and it is ideal for travelling in a car, train or plane. It can be used from birth with an infant carrier or from 6 months when used alone.
