Some models fold down with just a single press and others require two hands and more elbow grease.

Lightweight

The essential element of a pushchair which can be used anywhere is a lightweight frame and puncture-proof tyres. These ensure you can tackle any surface from grass to bumpy pavements with ease. All-terrain pushchairs are similar to SUVs, and are usually designed to deal with rough terrain, but they will also be able to work in urban areas.

If you're looking for a light stroller, make sure you choose one with a compact folding and a brake system that's simple to use. Some models include brake pedals at the rear axle that you can push down to lock the wheels. This feature is perfect for parents-to-be planning to travel with their child.

A large-sized stroller requires more maintenance since its fabric is less durable. Always follow the instructions for care.

Easy to transport

When selecting a pushchair, there are many things to take into consideration.

A scissor-folded pushchair, such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL, is a good choice. These pushchairs fold in a scissorlike fashion, giving them a flat, square-ish shape. They're easy to unfold, but they do tend to be wider than umbrella-fold pushchairs when folded so may not fit into smaller car boots.

If you intend to use your pushchair along with the carrycot for a travel system, it's essential to check that the seat reclines flat. A pushchair without a lie-flat recline may not be suitable for infants. This is because they need to lie flat to ensure proper lung and spine development.

Raincovers on your pram should also be inspected to ensure that they aren't soaked or covered with mud, as this can cause rust.
