5 Best Single Pushchairs
It’s worthwhile to invest in a pushchair that you will enjoy using. It should also be a good fit for your lifestyle and surroundings.
Choose a pram which converts from the ‘pramette’ that is flat to a pushchair (suitable from birth) and then to a double or twin pushchair as your family grows. It should also be easy to assemble and move.
Cosatto Woosh XL
This compact pushchair is perfect for babies. Its lightweight but sturdy 7kg chassis can support up to 25kg, which means that even bigger toddlers can use it for longer. It’s forward-facing, and has a reclining seat. It also has a UPF100+ sunshade hood to protect you from the sun. It is very easy to open, simply lift the safety locks on each side and then pull it open. Then, you can close it by pressing down on the button at the top of the handlebar. It folds up into a small, compact bundle that is a great storage solution. It is also lightweight and easy to maneuver.
This stroller is compatible with Cosatto Dock 0+ car seats and Woosh XL Carrycot. It is easy to convert into a full travel system by affixing the appropriate adaptors to all of these items. The child will then be able to sit in the car seat or pushchair as you travel. This will reduce the number of car pick-ups and wake-ups, which results in less disturbance to your child’s sleep schedule.
The Woosh XL has some lovely features that make it stand out from other models. It has an front wheel that can be locked which makes it easier to maneuver. It also has a thick handlebar that is covered in leatherette, and an open-top basket. It comes with a range of other details including baby-pleasing designs, heat-branded Leatherette and contrast-curved seams as well as nooks and crannies to explore.
Its main drawback is that the seat and harness size are quite small, which means it might not be suitable for older children. Our tester tried it on her 3-year-old, and found that the shoulder straps did not fit him. It was a pity as it could be a fantastic choice for him. It’s still a stunning pushchair, however and we love its design and the fact that it can accommodate an infant car seat and a carrycot. It also comes with a four-year warranty.

This is a very useful feature, especially if you have to carry bags, babies, and other items.
A new and sleeker seat offers greater comfort, thanks to an increased cushion of soft foam and a backrest that is ergonomically designed that is a further 20mm more from the seat base to back. This improves posture for babies and helps support their growing spine. The new mechanism for reclining has four positions, meaning you can adjust it according to your child’s needs.

Babyzen YOYO2
Since the first YOYO launched in 2012 Babyzen has built a strong reputation for its super-light pushchairs. YOYO2 takes that design and refines it even further to enhance comfort, function and practicality – all while maintaining that iconic design! It folds up compactly and can be folded with one hand into a single stroller pushchair piece that is lightweight and easy to carry. It slips easily through subway doors and then tucks into the smallest boot or trunk. It can even be carried on an airplane!
The YOYO2 can also be used as an e-travel system by connecting a compatible infant car-seat. It comes with a set of adaptors that are very simple to set up. It worked flawlessly for our test subject when she used it with the BeSafe capsule in i-size. You then simply click the seat in place on the frame and you’re good to go.
It’s smooth on pavements and the suspension offers an excellent smooth, cushioned ride. We did find that it a bit difficult on mud and grass, or on uneven pavements (small dips or uneven paving slabs) and this is why we aren’t convinced to make this the preferred pram for infants whose heads are more prone to being moved around.
The YOYO2 can be easy to maneuver for parents and is equipped with a range of features, including a large basket (upto 5kg) and a comfortable seat cushion that can be adjusted, a multi-position recline rearrest, the secure five-point harness and anti-UV material. All of these features help keep baby happy and comfortable. The canopy features a big pocket at the back and a carry bag attached to it, along with a peekaboo, rain cover, and UPF 50plus hood.
There’s two colour packs, and the frame, fabric elements and hood are machine washable. The YOYO2 also comes with a wide assortment of accessories to make it look just the way you want it to, including a separate footmuff and parasol. It is also able to be converted into a twin buggy by adding the YOYO connect to an additional chassis.
