Buying pushchairs & prams: what to look for

Lie-flat for newborns

A carrycot or a fully flat seat is best for the first months, as young babies can’t hold their heads up yet.

Fold and boot size

Check the folded size against your car boot, and whether it folds one-handed or needs two hands.

Where you’ll push it

Big wheels and suspension suit parks and country paths. Lighter frames with small wheels suit city streets, buses and trains.

What’s in the box

Some prices include the carrycot, rain cover and car seat adapters. Others sell them separately, so compare the full bundle.

Pushchairs & prams: common questions

What’s the difference between a pram and a pushchair?

A pram has a lie-flat carrycot for newborns. A pushchair (or stroller) has a seat, often with a recline, for babies who can sit up. Many models do both by swapping the carrycot for a seat.

How long will a baby use a pram?

The carrycot is usually outgrown at around six months or once baby can push up. The seat unit then lasts until roughly four years, depending on the model’s weight limit.

Is a compact stroller enough on its own?

Only if it’s suitable from birth, which means it lies fully flat or takes a newborn cocoon or carrycot. Many compact strollers are designed for six months and up.
