Cheap Pushchairs

When looking for the perfect pushchair, there are many things to take into consideration. What is suitable for your outdoor lifestyle may not be suited to urban living. A pushchair that glides across shiny store floors may struggle in dirt terrain.

If you are planning to have an additional child then a travel system that can be transformed into a twin pushchair could be ideal. These are designed to grow with your baby and are generally used from birth until six months.

iCandy Peach

This pram is a favorite of famous moms, and it offers plenty of features at a low price. The spacious carrycot is suitable for babies starting at birth. Innovative adaptors are able to transform it into a twin pushchair buggy. Its modern premium knitted jersey fabrics are durable and soft, with a refined feel. A large canopy that can be extended and a multi-position recline seat provides baby with the best comfort. A handy zip-up pocket is a great place to store essentials. Elevators elevate the seat to create an on-the-go highchair that can be used to enhance interaction and let parents roll up and dine in restaurants. It also comes with a stylish footmuff and changing bag for an all-in-one system for travel.

The Peach 7's aluminium chassis is lighter than other pushchairs and its puncture-proof polyurethane tires are designed to withstand all terrains including bumpy pavements and sports grounds to parks and muddy paths. The suspension has been made a little softer to improve comfort for both parents and babies while the front wheels swivel to make it easy to turn corners, even one-handed. Its compact footprint and tight turning circle means that it can easily maneuver narrow aisles in shops and hallways and is therefore perfect for urban living.

This version comes in a range of colours and styles, including iCandy Black Special Edition. The frame and the fabrics are black to give a monochrome appearance. It comes with an on-board cup holder and is compatible with the iCandy Cuddler, iCandy Rocker and the iCandy Sidekick Stroller.

This is the perfect pram for urban dweller who uses the tube frequently, if you want to fold your pushchair up and place it in your trunk while driving or if you need a stroller that is lightweight for days out just you and your child. It is also environmentally friendly.

The YOYO 2 which is priced at PS399 it includes the chassis as well as the 6+ color pack. Add the newborn bassinet (sold separately) and you'll be spending around PS800 for all-inclusive travel setup. This is similar to other 'urban pushchairs like the Bugaboo Bee 6

YOYO 2 is extremely compact when folded, measuring 52 x 44 x18 cm (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 inches). It fits into the baggage allowances for cabin baggage that are set by the majority of airlines and is among the few double strollers that can be used from birth with the addition of either the newborn bassinet or the 0+ or Newborn fabric pack.

It comes with small wheels that are best suited to grass and pavements, but can still tackle bumpier terrain - although those with a lot of fun might look for something with all-terrain wheels. It has a neat trick too that the handlebar can be folded so that you can sit down in a restaurant after you've rolled your YOYO 2.

The YOYO 2 is easy to move around, and has one of the smallest turning ratios in stroller land. However, it does require two hands to fold and unfold. It also cannot be pulled on its wheels while folded like the majority of umbrella pushchairs.

My Babiie

If you're looking for an entire travel system, the My Babiie is the perfect option. It is designed to be used from birth and includes a car seat, a carrycot and a pushchair seat all in one. This car seat is a fantastic choice for newborns or toddlers, thanks to its large base and i-Size compatibility. The seat is also fully reclinable, which will allow your child to nap in the car. It also has a large and adjustable hood that shields them from the sun.

It's also compact, fitting into many small cars. It comes with a variety of accessories, including an umbrella, a rain cover and cup holder.

My Babiie has a good reputation for their stylish products, which have been designed in collaboration with celebrity mums. The Belgravia Rose Gold and Black travel system is an excellent example, having been designed in collaboration with Christina Milian. Even if celebrity collaborations aren't for you This is a great all-rounder with plenty of features to keep your family happy.

This My Babiie MB500 i-Size Spin car seat is a highly rated product, which has been tested to the highest standards. It is suitable for babies aged from birth up to 4 years old.

Bugaboo Bee

Modern, practical and affordable stylish, practical and affordable, the Bugaboo Bee is one of the top pushchairs available on the market. It's been in use since 2007 and recently went through an overhaul with the new Bee 6. The major differences between earlier models are the height-adjustable backrest, the larger sun canopy, and the circular joint system that allows you to move and face your seat toward or away from you.

The Bee 6 is also a smaller car and is ideal for squeezing on to public transport and navigating those tricky city streets. Its iconic yellow color can make it easier for passers-by to see you on the street and for Deliveroo's bicycles to see you while they whiz through your street.

It's also a pleasure to drive, with responsive steering. The suspension is smooth and pleasant. I also appreciated the spacious and deep basket which is perfect for grocery trips and it is easily accessible whether the seat is facing you or away.

Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is the way it is solid and sturdy feels. The handle bar is comfortable to hold and the pushchair is simply a pleasure to use. It's clear that this model is built to last for generations.

Of course it's not cheap - the Bee costs PS1000 at retail however, it's a lot less than other top-end strollers. It's a good value considering the features and build. Particularly for those who are not as concerned with style as they are about functionality.

Baby Jogger Urban Glide Double

The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double is a jogger with stadium-style seating that can accommodate two children. It can be used with a variety of brands and fits one car seat. It is more expensive than the other strollers in this list but it comes with a large storage basket as well as a high quality score. It has a bumper that can be used for toys or an area to rest.

This stroller is sleek and simple to push. The three huge wheels are fitted with air-filled tires. These makes jogging and navigating rough terrain easy. It is also very lightweight and has a great ergonomic handlebar, a foot brake, and a hand brake that can be squeezed or pushed. The only drawback is that the seats don't recline and the canopy doesn't completely cover the seats.

Another advantage of this stroller is it can be converted into a light stroller for infants by adding the optional bassinet. It also has a massive shopping basket that is perfect to grab items to take home on your way back. It is very sturdy and can be used right from the beginning as the running walking.

It's too large and bulky to fit through narrow doors or a tiny boot. It's best for families who have an extensive garage or driveway and aren't afraid to carry it around. The cost could be a hindrance for some. It is not compatible with infant car seat which means you'll need to buy a bassinet separately for the first 8 months.
