Pushchairs(view report contents)
Types of pushchair
Forward-facing
Around £50 to £200.
Generally wider and more cushioned than a buggy but these still have a forward-facing seat. Reclining seats are more common and some can be adjusted to lie flat so can be used from birth. Most models fold flat to a square shape, others have an umbrella fold. Seat covers, hoods and rain cover are included with pricier models, and sold as extras with others.
Pros
- more solid than a buggy so the baby is more enclosed and a parent gets more support when pushing
- fully reclining models can be used from birth
- some models have adjustable height handles
- more compact than two- and three-in-ones for parking, transporting and storing
- many models have under-seat shopping carriers
- cheaper to buy than two- and three-in-ones.
Cons
- the baby cannot face you
- more risk of your baby being removed if you are visually impaired and pull the pushchair
- baby may be more exposed than in a two- or three-in-one
- less compact than a buggy for carrying and storing
