My Silver Cross Reflex was the best pushchair I have ever ever had. Gorgeous design and is so sturdy and light to push. Son was always so comfortable in it too” - nurseymummyx) Our verdict We had the Joie Aire Twin. It was suitable from birth and was just right for our newborn and just two-year-old. Easy to fold up and went in our boot (we have a big car though)"- Treaclespongeandcustard Our verdict

The shopping basket under the seat is generously sized, especially for a buggy, but it can be hard to access if the seat is fully reclined. Our tester used a standard foot muff with the stroller in the winter, but be warned, the accompanying rain cover can be a faff to get on, and we'd have preferred stronger fastenings. The hood was also a bit fiddly and could be a bit broader to provide more sun shade during the (brief) British Summer. This is especially key if you plan to use the pushchair from birth when your baby is especially sensitive to the sun. Traditional pushchairs and travel systems are a great way to travel with your baby in tow, but due to their robust, all-terrain nature, they can often be heavy and bulky, making them somewhat challenging when travelling on public transport.

Key specs: Age range: 6 months to 15kg | Weight: 4.9kg | Folded size: 20 x 16 x 120cm | Includes rain cover: No What we love It's worth bearing in mind that in most cases, umbrella strollers are world-facing and parents with newborns may feel more comfortable with a parent-facing pushchair initially with a very young child. What’s the best umbrella pram to buy? A umbrella pram is a lightweight pushchair that, similar to an umbrella, can fold in on itself when not in use. Unlike a traditional pushchair that folds in half downwards or flips forward, umbrella strollers stay long and narrow when folded, often making them easier to store vertically for houses that are limited in space.
