You may also think about an infant foot-muff that adds an extra layer of warmth on winter walks.

The latest advancements in fold technology have resulted in an increase in the number of pushchairs which can fold themselves, without any involvement from the parent. This kind of self-standing buggy is called an umbrella-fold pushchair. Its name comes because it folds similarly as an umbrella. Some models are completely automated that require just a single press on one button to fold the fold, whereas others require a little more elbow grease and two hands, however they'll still be smaller and lighter than traditional pushchairs.

Lightweight

The most important factor in a pushchair that can be used everywhere is a light frame and puncture-proof tyres. You can easily navigate any surface, from grass to bumpy roads. All-terrain pushchairs are like SUVs and are often designed to deal with rough terrain, but they will also be able to work in urban areas.

When shopping for a lightweight pushchair, make sure you choose one with a compact fold and an easy braking system that is simple to use. Some models include brake pedals at the rear axle that you can press down to stop the wheels from moving. This feature is great for parents who plan to travel with their baby.

Also, ensure that the handles are adjusted to fit different sizes.

Some pushchairs are very light, such as the UPPAbaby G-Luxe that weighs less than 6kg and features an extremely compact fold. It also comes with a comprehensive list of extras including an ample basket with a comfortable seat, as well as an adjustable seat that is not completely flat, so it's ideal for toddlers.

A full-size stroller will require more maintenance due to its fabric is less durable. Always follow the care guidelines provided. Check if your pushchair can machine wash and whether it requires any special cleaning products or agents. If you find mould or mildew on your pushchair, the most effective thing to do is scrub it off and soak it in soapy, cool water. Dry it thoroughly outside.

Easy to transport

There are many things to take into consideration when selecting the best pushchair. The design, size and other features such as three-wheeled, suitable for multiple children or auto-folding can be key factors. However, the folding mechanism is also important as this can affect how well your buggy will fit into your lifestyle.

Whether you're looking to purchase an umbrella fold pushchair or a scissor fold, the way your buggy collapses can make a huge difference to your everyday life. Umbrella-folded pushchairs, which are generally lightweight strollers, get their name because they fold in a similar way to brolly. You simply pull the lever or switch on the back of the buggy, and it folds in on itself, with the top half folding over the lower half. They can be folded with one hand, which is great for holding your child and bags for juggling.

A scissor fold pushchair, such as the Le Clerc Influencer XL, is another great choice. These pushchairs fold in a scissorlike manner, resulting in an elongated, square-ish form. They are easy to fold, but they do tend to be larger than umbrella-fold pushchairs so may not fit into smaller car boot.

If you're using your pushchair for a travel system with the carrycot, you should be making sure that the seat has a lie-flat recline. A pushchair with car seat with a non-lie-flat recline may not be suitable for newborns. This is because they need to lie flat to ensure proper spinal and lung development.

You'll also need to consider how easy it is for your pushchair to clean. Depending on the fabric, you can either machine wash it or spot clean it with warm water and a little detergent. If the hood is removed, it will make it easier to get rid of mould and mildew. Then you can dry it outside. If the wheels of your pushchair are movable they can be washed with warm soapy tap water to keep them clean. Raincovers attached to the pram should be checked to ensure they aren't soaked or covered in mud since this could lead to corrosion.
