When looking for the perfect pushchair, there are a lot of things to consider. What’s suitable for your outdoor lifestyle may not be suitable for city life and a stroller that glides easily over shiny floors may struggle on rough and muddy terrain.
If you’re planning to have a baby number two then an infant travel system that can be converted into a twin pushchair is ideal. These are designed to expand with your bambino and can usually be used from birth until six months.
iCandy Peach
This luxurious pram has been a favourite with celebrity mums and offers an exceptional amount of functionality for the price. The spacious carrycot makes it ideal for babies starting at birth. Innovative adaptors can convert it into a twin pushchair. The premium knitted jersey fabrics offer a modern soft and durable feel. A large canopy and a multi-position reclining seat give baby the best comfort, while a handy zip pocket stores essentials. Elevators elevate the seat unit to create an on-the-go highchair that can be used to enhance interaction and let parents roll up and dine in restaurants. It comes with a stylish changing bag and a footmuff for a complete travel system.
The Peach 7’s aluminium chassis is lighter than other pushchairs near me and its puncture-proof polyurethane tyres have been designed to handle any terrain from bumpy roads and sports fields to parkland and forest paths that are muddy. The suspension has been slightly softened to make it more comfortable for both baby and parent and the front wheels rotate to make it easy to turn corners, even one-handed. The small footprint and the tight turning circle means it can easily navigate narrow aisles for shopping and hallways, so it is perfect for urban living.
This version is available in a variety of colours, including iCandy Black Special Edition with black chassis and fabric for a monochrome look. It comes with a cup holder on board and is compatible to the iCandy Cuddler and the iCandy Sidekick Stroller. It can be purchased at iCandy directly for PS1,149, or from third-party retailers, such as Babythingz.
Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 pram is a light elegant and stylish pram that is easy to use. It’s a great choice for those who reside in a city and frequently use the tube, would like to fold up your pushchair and place it in your trunk when driving, or require a light pram for trips with only you and your baby. It’s also eco-friendly.
The YOYO 2 which is priced at PS399, includes the chassis and 6+ color pack. Add the bassinet for newborns (sold separately), and you will be spending about PS800 for a complete travel set-up. This is in line with similar “urban pushchairs” such as the Bugaboo Bee 6.
YOYO 2 folds down to 52 x 44 x 18 or 20 173 x 7.1 in. It can be incorporated into the baggage allowances for cabin baggage established by many airlines. It is also one of the few double strollers that can be used at birth with the addition of a newborn bassinet or the newborn fabric pack.
It has wheels that are small and are best for grass and pavements, but can still take on bumpier terrain. However, adventurous families may wish to look at something with all-terrain tires. It comes with a clever trick too: the handlebar can be folded so that you can enjoy a meal at a restaurant after rolling your YOYO 2.
The YOYO 2 with its small turning ratio, is one of the easiest strollers to maneuver. It requires two people to fold and unfold. It isn’t able to be pulled by its wheels when folded like some other umbrella pushchairs.
My Babiie
The My Babiie travel system is a great choice If you’re looking for a complete set. This bundle is designed to be used starting at birth and includes the car seat, carrycot and pushchair all in one. This car seat is an excellent choice for newborns or toddlers, thanks to its large base and i-Size compatibility. The seat is also reclineable, allowing your child to take a nap in the car. It also has a huge extendable hood to protect your child from sun.
The My Babiie MB250 is easy to fold and can be used with a seat, carrier or carrycot attached. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver. It folds by one hand. It is also small and can be tucked away in most small cars. It comes with several accessories, including a changing pouch as well as a rain cover and an ice holder for coffee.
My Babiie has a good reputation for their stylish products, which were created in collaboration with famous mums. Christina Milian was involved in the design of the Belgravia Black and Rose Gold Travel System. Even if celebrity partnerships aren’t for you This is a great all-rounder that comes with many features to keep your family members happy.
This My Babiie MB500 iSize Spin car seat has been tested according to the highest standards. It is suitable for infants aged between birth and 4 years old. ISOFIX connectors can be used to connect it to the chassis. It’s also compatible with the My Babiie Explorer MB52 stroller. It is available in three stylish fabrics, and comes with a lay-flat seat, newborn insert, and a tall hood. If you’re ready to move your child from their car seat into the stroller, simply click the seat onto the chassis by pressing two buttons on either side.
Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee is a stylish practical, affordable, and stylish pushchair. It’s been in use since 2007 and recently went through an overhaul with the new Bee 6. The most notable differences between the previous models is the height-adjustable backrest, the larger sun canopy and the circular joint system that makes it easier to move and face your seat away or towards from you.
The Bee 6 is also narrower which makes it easier to squeeze onto public transport and navigate the tangled city streets. Plus the iconic yellow colour makes it easy for people to spot you on the sidewalk, and for Deliveroo cyclists to spot you when they’re rushing down your street.
It’s a delight to drive too with a responsive steering and a smooth suspension. I also liked the large and deep basket, which is ideal for shopping trips and it is easily accessed regardless of whether the seat is facing you or away.
Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is the way it is solid and sturdy feels. The handle bar is a joy to hold, and the design of the pushchair oozes quality. It’s easy to tell that this is a buggy that’s been designed to last after generation.
Of course it’s not cheap. The Bee costs PS1000 at retail but it’s also much less than other high-end strollers. With its features and build quality, I think it’s definitely worth the price. Particularly for those who value style as well as function.
Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double
The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double is a jogger that has stadium-style seating for two children. It can be used with a variety of brands and will fit one car seat. It’s more expensive than the other strollers, but has a large storage basket and a high quality score. It also comes with a bumper bar that could be used to store toys or serve as a resting place for children.
The stroller has a sleek design and is easy to push. The three huge wheels are equipped with air-filled tires, which allow for jogging or navigating difficult terrain easy. It is also very lightweight and features a great ergonomic handlebar, a foot brake, and a hand brake that can be pushed or squeezed. The only disadvantages of this bike are that it isn’t reclined and the canopy does not cover the entire seat.
Another plus for this stroller is that it can be converted into a light stroller for infants by adding the optional bassinet. It has a large shopping basket, which is great for picking up groceries while you are returning to your home. It is extremely sturdy and can be used from the beginning as an jogging walker.
It’s a bit big and heavy to fit through narrow doors or into a small car boot and is therefore best suited for families with a big driveway or garage, and who don’t mind lugging it around. Its price is also a turn-off for some, and it’s not compatible with infant car seats, so you’ll require an additional bassinet for your child during the first eight months or at least.
