    How to Choose the Right Pushchair

    Choosing a pushchair is one of the biggest decisions you'll make as new parents. With hundreds of options available, it can feel overwhelming. Here's what matters most.

    Consider Your Lifestyle

    Think about where you'll use your pushchair most. City parents benefit from lightweight, compact-fold pushchairs that navigate busy streets and fit on public transport. If you're more rural or love walks in the park, look for larger wheels and better suspension for rough terrain.

    From Birth or 6 Months?

    Newborns need to lie flat, so ensure your pushchair either has a full recline or is compatible with a carrycot. Most premium pushchairs offer both options. If you're buying a travel system, you can use the car seat on the pushchair frame initially.

    The Fold Matters

    You'll fold your pushchair hundreds of times. A one-hand fold is invaluable when you're holding a baby or shopping bags. Test the fold mechanism if possible, and check it fits in your car boot.

    Compare with your partner

    Choosing baby gear is easier when you can compare options together. BumpSync lets you and your partner vote on products and track your favourites.
