Strollers
There are many strollers to choose from, each designed to meet a specific need.

Folding
Many of the most well-known pushchairs fold. They are smaller in your home and are easier to fit into the boot of your car, making them perfect when you're in a tight space or have a tiny car boot, or plan on traveling a lot as with your family.
There are many kinds of folds, so pick one that is appropriate to your lifestyle and preferences. For example some of the most recent buggy models come with a revolutionary auto-fold that folds down by itself with a simple pressing. This lets you hold your baby, other children or bags using both hands. It's also ideal for parents with back issues or are recovering from C-sections.
Other models are designed to fold more traditionally with the seat in place, which means they'll be a little bulkier and won't be as comfortable to fit in your boot or car. Some of these will also require two or more hands to fold, which can be a problem if you need to fold it while being held by your child.
It is essential to ensure that the pushchair will be capable of handling the terrain on which you plan to use it. If you plan to navigate lots of cobblestones or gravel tracks, then air-filled tyres will provide more comfort.
If you intend to use your pushchair primarily on roads that are paved or pavements, then most three-wheelers will have moulded tires that will give your baby an easy ride. If you're taking your little one off-road or on dirt choose one that comes with a set of movable guards for mud and a quick-release front wheel to keep your pushchair looking its best.
