Lightweight 3 Wheel Pushchair
This model is ideal if you are looking for a lightweight 3-wheel pushchair that can withstand rough terrain. Its foam-filled, never-flat tyres won't puncture and are easy to maintain.
It can also be used to accommodate car seats by purchasing a separate carrycot or adapters. It also has a good-sized shopping basket.
Easy to manoeuvre
Contrary to some all-terrain pushchairs which often feature air-filled tyres (that are ideal for uneven ground, but may be prone to punctures) a lightweight pushchair typically has solid tyres that are easy to manoeuvre over any surface. They also tend to have a great suspension, which makes the ride more comfortable for your baby. If you're seeking a buggy that can also function as an jogger, choose one with a front wheel that locks in place and a brake that is operated with just one hand.
If you're in search of a lightweight pushchair that can be used both in rural and urban areas look into the iCandy Core. This model has large foam-filled tyres which can handle any terrain (according to MFM reviewer Tara the model performs well on forest paths that are open, gravel tracks, and market town cobbles) and also offers parent-friendly features such as a reclining seat, an adjustable handlebar with a large basket, and a one-handed fold. MFM reviewer Becky finds that the handbrake is in a good position to avoid hitting it accidentally. This is an excellent feature if you're travelling with a toddler who will probably be doing some pushing.
Affectionate for your baby
The most effective pushchairs have seats that are large, comfortable and ventilated to ensure the comfort of your baby or toddler. The seat must be able to recline so that your child is able to see the world and sit up. They usually have adjustable straps and leg rests to allow you to find the most comfortable position.
