Key specs – Ages : Birth to 17kg; Weight : 5.9kg; Dimensions : 103 x 76 x 46.5cm (HLW, open), 19 x 58 x 46.5cm (HLW, folded) Compact/lightweight stroller : These smaller strollers can be opened, closed and lifted straight into and out of a car boot using one hand. They’re the perfect pushchairs for running errands. Folding down tightly to the size of a changing bag, it provides convenience when travelling, commuting, going out for coffee or visiting friends. Its seat reclines and the wheels have suspension and free-running bearings, providing smooth strolls.

Jogging stroller : For active parents, a jogging stroller, with its durable wheels and suspension, will keep the baby comfortable and make your jog, run or stroll effortless. Despite its size, it still has good under-stroller storage space, a full canopy and a multi-position seat. It has a built-in suspension, puncture-free wheels, a five-point cushioned harness and classy design aspects, including a leatherette bumper bar and metallic detailing. It can be folded down with just one hand if you’ve got the other full (which, as a parent, you most likely will), and the adjustable ergonomic handlebar is a boon. Harnesses are usually three-point or five-point, with the latter being the better option as it complies with the British Standard 7409:1996 (BS EN 1888:2003) to keep kids strapped in safely.

Foot rests can help avoid flailing little dangly legs and ensure that your toddler is comfortable and safe in their seat. While most footrests are built in, some are adjustable and others are removable. A reclining seat keeps baby comfy while they sleep, or upright for a better view, and the adjustable sun canopy has a magnet-closing peekaboo window and plenty of ventilation. The three-year manufacturer’s guarantee also gives some welcome extra peace of mind. It comes with a large under-stroller basket for shopping and a nappy bag, plus a height-adjustable handlebar. It offers several reclining positions for your baby’s comfort, while the chair can also easily flip round to become either front- or rear-facing. What’s more, this pram comes with several extras, including a sun canopy with a ventilation window and a sun sail that goes right up to the handlebars.While it’s not the stroller you will want to take on long hikes (there is no suspension on the wheels and they roll along a little noisier than other top stroller models), it’s an excellent and space saving option that’s suitable from birth onwards. It features a five-point safety harness, an adjustable handlebar, comes in 10 colours and is even aircraft approved for when you go on holiday. The ingenious design means that there’s no need to risk waking baby as you get in and out of the car. This little thing, quite simply, does it all. Our mum tester lost count of the amount of times she was stopped in the street by people asking where to get one of these awesome contraptions.

If you want to keep active, the Thule Urban Glide 2 is the perfect option. It’s not cheap, but the top quality materials both look and feel suitably high-end, and the large, swivelling front wheel and two 16-inch rear wheels offer exceptional suspension, even on uneven terrain.Most of the above types of strollers also come in double versions that can accommodate two children at once, and anyone with three young children will be pleased to note that triple strollers are also available. What features should I look for in a good stroller? Some of the dollies in the range at Seton are designed to work in conjunction with other products. For instance we have a number of dollies designed for transporting Cylinder Bins. This makes it easier to transport a number of smaller objects as they can be placed inside the bins which are secured in place. Rain covers can keep the rain and cold out and are an important feature to have on a stroller, especially if you live in the UK. Most strollers come with rain canopies, but an extra waterproof and windproof full rain cover is always a great extra to have. This lightweight stroller is a full-size option, although you would think otherwise when you see how small it is when folded. It even stands up on its own when folded to save you having to bend down to lift it. Its no-puncture tyres are suitable for use on all types of terrain, whether you want to go for a country jog or a city stroll, and the brake pedal is easy to engage, yet far enough from your stride that you won’t accidentally step on it.
