Most Popular Baby Pushchairs and Prams
By Klarna
What to consider when buying a baby pushchair or baby pram
When buying a baby's pushchair or a baby pram there are many things to consider, among other the style of the pushchair, do you want one that can fold easily and be put in the back of the car or a more agile and smaller one that you can easily use on public transport. Consider also your own height as well as what activities you will be doing with the stroller. Here are some of the most important things to remember before you buy a pushchair:
-
Use: whether the pushchair is primarily for packing into the car and taking on shopping trips or for using on forest walks makes a difference to which type of pushchair you should buy.
-
Your child: How big the child is and how much they weigh decides how spacious the seat unit must be and whether you need a pushchair with a higher maximum weight.
-
The parent: If the parents are different heights, an adjustable handle can be useful. A parent with back problems may need to prioritise a light pushchair over a more stable one.
BabyZEN YOYO 2 Pushchair
The BabyZen YOYO 2 pushchair is a great choice for those living in cities as it is practical and you can fold and unfold it with just one hand, it's also lightweight so you can easily carry it on your shoulder. Making it ideal for urban environments, were you want to easily manoeuvre obstacles as well as tackle public transportation. It also fits easily into both airplane overhead compartment as well as into the boot of a car. I big bonus with this stroller is that it converts with age, meaning that you can go from a flat parent facing pushchair into a world-facing pram, making it a great investment that will last a long time and not require you to buy a stroller or pram once your baby is a bit older. There is also a feature that allows you to clip on a baby car seat using the car seat adapters.
Pros and cons:
+ Lightweight
+ Adjustable from pushchair to pram
+ Single handed folding and unfolding
- Limited storage space
- Expensive
Bugaboo Donkey 3 Mono Pushchair
The Bugaboo Donkey 3 Mono Pushchair is another popular choice amongst parents, with a convertible feature that quickly takes the pushchair from a single to double pushchair, it's practical for larger families or those with twins. You can use the various attachments as side by side twins or a duo pushchair. This is great if you plan on expanding your family as the pushchair can become a pram and is adaptable for ages 0-4, giving you great range for multiple children. You can easily drive and manoeuvre with one hand, with a fully adjustable handlebar. There is also an expandable side-luggage basket that can hold up to 10kg in addition to the space under the stroller which also can hold up to 10kg.
Pros and cons:
+ A lot of storage and stable design
+ Adjustable from pushchair to pram
+ Customisable duo and twin feature
- Large and may be hard to manoeuvre in city and on public transport
- Expensive
Britax Smile 3
The Britax Smile III is the updated version of the Britax Smile 2. The buggy has changed significantly while still being the same. The carrycot is higher up and very cosy, with nicely sewn upholstery. The cover of the carrycot has silent magnetic clasps on the sides and can be attached to the hood with press studs. You can easily remove the carrycot from the chassis with one hand using the clever memory buttons. The carrycot can also be folded flat for storage or transport.
But most of the changes are in the seat unit. The Smile III has a reversible, normal seat unit with a backrest that can be folded down to a flat lying position. Compared to the Smile 2, the backrest is almost 10 cm taller. The maximum weight has been increased to 22 kg, and these factors give the Smile III a significantly longer period of use. The hood on the seat unit can be extended, has a foldout sun visor and a large ventilation hatch. In its longest position, the hood covers the child from head to knees, which is very good.
The seat unit feels spacious and fits children up to 2.5-3 years. The harness can easily be separated into five straps, and the position on the backrest can be adjusted with just one hand. The Britax Smile III has an efficient swing-away safety bar. The crotch strap is attached with Velcro, which means that it can come undone if you haven’t put it on straight and the child leans on the strap. Of course you should always use the harness to secure the child in the buggy.
The Britax Smile III is a narrow pushchair that measures only 57 cm across the rear wheels. And yet it has a surprisingly spacious basket that holds everything you need and a bit more beside. The buggy has four good sized pneumatic wheels. The front wheels can be locked in fixed position if you want to make better progress over things like snow or uneven terrain. The Smile III can be folded in one piece with the seat unit on it, but it’s more compact if you fold the chassis separately. The knee-joint handle can be set to many different positions. This, together with the fact that there’s plenty of legroom for the person pushing it, means that the Britax Smile III is ideal for even tall parents.
If you’ve used a Britax Smile 2, you’ll quickly recognise the Smile III – but also realise that everything is a bit better here. The fact that the seat unit is significantly larger while the maximum weight has also been increased gives a much longer period of use. And it’s even better to push because the Smile III has been given better suspension. This is a buggy that is easy to push and steer. Of course the price is high. But the significantly improved functions and the more attractive design on areas such as the upholstery mean that it’s still just as good value. If there is a duo that can take over from the enormously popular Smile 2, it’s undoubtedly the Britax Smile III.
Pros and cons:
+ Excellent lying position
+ Long hood
+ Large basket
+ Nice to push
- Fiddly crotch strap
Bugaboo Fox 3
Bugaboo Fox 3 can be used from when the baby is born, with the included reclining part or with a car seat, and adapters can be purchased separately. The assembly of the pram requires a peek at the manual, but it is very straightforward how all parts are connected. The reclining part is spacious and feels comfortable for the baby. Fox 3 gets a plus because the reclining part can be very easily folded down and stored in the car or taken on a trip. Fox 3 has a new Breezy reclining part, which means that the fabric at the upper end of the pram can be folded up. Below is a mesh net, which lets air flow to the baby and cools down in hot weather. Alongside the long convertible top, this makes the Fox 3 an excellent pram even for summer babies. The mesh net also allows a baby that’s awake to look out. Folded down, the upholstery is kept in place with a magnetic lock so that the cold doesn’t blow in during the winter.
Compared to the popular predecessor Bugaboo Fox 2, the new Fox 3 has an upgraded harness on the seat. The harness is softer with more padding but still just as smart with its separate straps that click into the buckle individually. The maximum weight for the seat is 3,5 st. Fox 3 has a spacious backrest and seating area, but the somewhat short footrest means that the pram works best up to about 2,5 years of age. The ergonomic seat can easily switch between the forward and backward position, as well as switch between a sitting, resting and lying position. The extendable convertible top has a viewing and ventilation hatch in the middle and provides excellent sun protection. Fox 3 has a large and easily accessible shopping cart. The foot brake at the left rear wheel can be comfortably found with your foot, and the length of the handle can be effortlessly adjusted.
What is most characteristic of the Bugaboo Fox 3, however, is the brilliant driving feel. The easy-to-turn pram rolls quickly on its puncture-free wheels. Fox 3 is perceived to be a little too light to cope with rough terrain but is perfect for asphalt and in the city. Fox 3 is easy to fold and lift into the car. The pram is most compact if you first click off the seat and then fold the chassis separately. It’s impressive how Bugaboo constantly works to improve already popular prams. The new fabrics for Fox 3 are more resilient, including against sun-bleaching, which is a long-awaited update. Although the price for Fox 3 is high, Bugaboo definitely provides premium value for money.
Pros and cons:
+ Excellent convertible top
+ Great for walks
+ Folds compactly
+ Fits all year round
- Somewhat short footrest
Joolz Day3 Pushchair
The Joolz Day3 is the successor to the Joolz Day 2, and there isn’t much that distinguishes the two buggies. In comparison with the Day 2, the Day3 now has an integrated bracket for the baby changing bag, an improved foot brake, more scratch-resistant surfaces, a bigger harness for the seat unit and a frame that’s easier to click into the chassis.
The Joolz Day3 is a duo with modern functions and a design that’s perfect for today. The carrycot works all year round but is particularly suitable for the summer. The hood and the carrycot fabric can be opened up at the front. Beneath this is mesh fabric that lets in the air and creates good circulation in the carrycot. The Day3 is cosy for the newborn, with a soft mattress and a good baby carrier cover that protects against wind and weather. You can easily remove the baby cot from the chassis and carry it with the safety bar, for babies up to 9 kg.
When it’s time to change to the seat unit, you remove the carrycot fabric from the frame and install the seat unit fabric instead. This involves a number of steps but the instruction book is clear so it isn’t a difficult process. The seat unit is ergonomic and reversible. It can be inclined from sitting position to reclined position and down to a lying position. A unique function for the Day3 is that the footrest can be extended, which means you can easily create more legroom as your baby grows.
The hood for the seat unit is the same as for the carrycot. At the front there’s a fold out sun visor, and as we’ve already mentioned the hood can be opened up for better ventilation. In lying position, the hood feels a little short, but in sitting position it works very well. The safety bar is of the swing-away type. The harness on the seat unit can easily be separated into separate straps, which makes things easier when you’re adding a footmuff or seat cushion to the pushchair. The seat unit is neither particularly small nor very spacious, and works for most children up to 2-3 years of age – which matches the maximum weight of 15 kg.
If you like walking, you’ll love the Joolz Day3. The stroller is very nice to push. The chassis has some springiness and the pushchair rolls quickly and easily. The front wheel can be replaced with larger rough terrain wheels if you want, and then the pushchair copes better with the snow. But this is more a pushchair for an urban environment and for countryside walks. The Day3 is ideal for tall parents. The handle can be adjusted to a very high setting. And the carrycot and seat unit are both quite high up.
The Day3 can be folded with the seat unit but is more compact if you fold the chassis separately. The pushchair basket is not ideal if you want to buy lots of shopping. The folding rear edge makes it easier to add things to the basket, but it's difficult to carry large objects under the Joolz Day3. Other than that, this is a pushchair with lots of positives and few negatives, and for the comparatively reasonable price tag you get a lot of buggy for your money with the Joolz Day3.
Pros and cons:
+ Nice to push
+ Very well-designed carrycot
+ Stylish design
- Relatively small basket
- Hood slightly too short
