A pushchair needs to suit your family’s everyday life. For short trips around town, different features matter than for train journeys, woodland paths or use from birth. Many products look similar at first glance, but differ considerably in folded dimensions, seating position, suspension and accessories.
A lightweight pushchair is easier to carry. However, it is also important to consider how compactly it folds, whether it has a carry handle and how sturdy the frame remains during everyday use. A model with a low weight may involve compromises when it comes to the shopping basket, backrest or performance on uneven ground.
You should therefore look at three separate specifications:
A travel pushchair weighing 6 kg can be practical for aeroplanes, trains and small flats, while a heavier frame with greater suspension may be better suited to uneven paths.
The term pushchair from birth can refer to a fully flat reclining position, a separate carrycot or compatibility with an infant car seat. These solutions are not identical. Check whether your child can lie fully flat or in an ergonomically suitable position, and whether the manufacturer’s age recommendation matches how you plan to use it.
With a pushchair featuring a reclining position, the backrest and leg rest should be adjustable independently of one another. With a travel-system pushchair, you should also check whether the infant car seat is included or needs to be purchased separately.
A foldable pushchair can save space without meeting the requirements of a particular airline. Cabin-baggage dimensions vary depending on the airline and fare. You should therefore compare the folded size with the current conditions of the relevant provider.
For everyday journeys by bus and train, a compact pushchair and an easy-to-reach folding mechanism can be helpful. Before buying, measure your boot, hallway and intended storage space.
The specification pushchair up to 22 kg refers to the permitted weight of the child, not automatically to the shopping basket’s load capacity. Some baskets are designed for a considerably lower weight. For example, the stated basket capacity of the CYBEX BEEZY is 5 kg.
An adjustable 5-point harness should be able to accommodate your child’s height. A one-handed harness system can make everyday use easier, but it does not replace securing your child correctly.
For a pushchair from 6 months, an adjustable backrest is often sufficient. For use from birth, the details regarding the fully flat reclining position and the manufacturer’s approval are decisive. An infant car seat is intended for car journeys and should only be attached to the frame using compatible adapters.
Swivelling front wheels make it easier to manoeuvre through narrow shops and along pavements. For cobblestones, park paths or country tracks, wheel size and suspension are more important than particularly compact folded dimensions.
An extendable sun canopy with UPF 50+ is an objectively verifiable feature. However, it does not provide complete protection from direct sunlight. Time spent in strong sunlight should also be limited, and the ventilation openings should be kept clear.
Why this product suits this profile: The Move N Care is designed for families looking for a pushchair suitable from birth up to 22 kg, with an adapter for an infant car seat, while only needing to buy one system.
The product details state that it can be used from birth, supports up to 22 kg and includes a car-seat adapter. Check that it is compatible with your own infant car seat before buying.
Reversible seat unit, height-adjustable handle, puncture-proof rubber tyres and 4-way suspension.
Why this product suits this profile: The BEEZY combines use from birth with compact freestanding folding, making it suitable for trips around town, travel and everyday shopping.
The product description states that it has a fully flat reclining position, an adjustable leg rest and compact folded dimensions of 27 × 48,5 × 64,5 cm.
8,5 kg weight, 5-point harness, all-wheel suspension, shopping basket holding up to 5 kg and sun canopy with UPF 50+.
Why this product suits this profile: The LIBELLE is designed for families who frequently travel by aeroplane, train or car and need an especially lightweight, foldable model.
The stated folded dimensions are 32 × 20 × 48 cm. Nevertheless, you should check the relevant airline’s cabin-baggage rules before travelling.
6 kg weight, load capacity up to 22 kg, continuously adjustable backrest, extendable leg rest and front-wheel suspension.
We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
Before buying a pushchair, you should check the following points:
Many traditional pushchairs are designed for children from around 6 months. A model with a fully flat reclining position or a combination with a carrycot may be suitable from birth, according to the manufacturer. The age and safety guidance for the specific product should always be followed.
A pushchair rated up to 22 kg is often designed for children up to approximately 4 years old. The actual period of use also depends on your child’s height, the seat width and their comfort. The permitted weight must not be exceeded.
A travel system can be useful if you frequently switch between the car and pushchair. Check in advance that the infant car seat, adapters and frame are compatible with one another. For air and train travel only, a lightweight travel pushchair with compact folded dimensions may be more practical than a comprehensive combination set.
