Cheap Pushchairs
When looking for the perfect pushchair, there are plenty of things to take into consideration. What you like about your outdoor life might not be appropriate for urban living. A pushchair that glides on shiny store floors may struggle on dirt terrain.
If you're planning to have an additional child and want to travel with a system that can be transformed into a twin pushchair could be ideal. These are designed to expand with your baby and can usually be used from birth to six months.
iCandy Peach
This luxurious stroller has been loved by famous moms and provides a lot of function for the price. It is suitable for babies because of the spacious carrycot and can be transformed into a twin pushchair using innovative adapters. The high-end knitted jersey fabrics offer a modern soft and durable look. A large canopy and a multi-position reclining seat offer baby maximum comfort, while a practical zip pocket can be used to store the essentials. Elevators elevate the seat to create an on-the-go highchair to facilitate interaction and allow parents to Roll Up and dine at restaurants. It comes with a chic changing bag and footmuff for the complete travel set-up.
The chassis made of aluminium in the Peach 7 is lighter than other pushchairs and its polyurethane tyres are able to handle any terrain, from bumpy roads and sports fields to muddy forest trails and parkland. The suspension has been designed to be softer for comfort, both for the child as well as the parent. The front wheels can be turned so that it is easier to turn corners even using just one hand. Its small size and tight turning circle allow it to effortlessly navigate narrow hallways and aisles. This makes it ideal for city living.
This model comes in a variety of colourways, including iCandy Black Special Edition. The frame and the fabrics are black to create a monochrome appearance. It comes with an on-board cup holder and is compatible with the iCandy Cuddler, iCandy Rocker and iCandy Sidekick Stroller. It is available at iCandy directly for $1,149 or through third-party retailers like Babythingz.
Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 pram is a light, stylish and easy-to-use pram. This is the ideal stroller for city dweller and take the tube frequently, if you want to fold the pushchair and store it in your trunk when driving, or if you require a stroller that is lightweight for days out with just you and your child. It's also green.
The YOYO 2, which starts at PS399, includes the chassis and 6+ color pack. Add the baby bassinet (sold separately) and you'll be spending around PS800 for all-inclusive travel setup. It's similar to other pushchairs that are 'urban,' such as the Bugaboo Bee 6 Bugaboo Bee 6
YOYO 2 is extremely compact when folded. It measures 52 x 44x18 cm (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 inches). It is compatible with the baggage allowances for cabins that are set by the majority of airlines. It is also one of the few double strollers which can be used right from birth, using either the newborn bassinet or the newborn fabric pack.
It has wheels that are small and are ideal for grass and pavements but can still handle bumpier terrain - although those who are adventurous may want to consider something with all-terrain tires. It also has a cool trick that the handle bar can be hidden away, allowing you to roll your YOYO 2 to a table in a restaurant and then sit down.
The YOYO 2 with its low turning ratio, is one of the strollers that is easy to navigate. It does require two people to fold it and unfold. It is also not able to be pulled on its wheels while folded like many other umbrella pushchairs.
My Babiie
The My Babiie travel system is a great choice if you are looking for a complete set. It is designed to be used right from birth and includes a car seat, a carrycot and pushchair parent facing all in one. This car seat is a great choice for newborns or toddlers because of its big base and i-Size compatibility. Additionally, the seat is fully reclineable and can help your toddler or baby to nap on the go. It also has a large and adjustable hood that shields your child from sun.
The My Babiie MB250 stroller is easy to use and can be folded with the carrier, carrycot or seat attached. It is lightweight and easy to move. It can be folded using just one hand. It's also compact, fitting into many small vehicles. It comes with a range of accessories like the changing bag, rain cover, and a cup holder.
My Babiie has a good reputation for its stylish products, that have been developed in collaboration with celebrities' mums. The Belgravia Rose Gold and Black travel system is a great example, as it was designed by Christina Milian. Even if celebrity alliances aren't your thing, this is an all-rounder that comes with many features to keep your family members happy.
This My Babiie MB500 i-Size Spin car seat is a top-rated product that has been tested to the highest standards. It is suitable for infants from birth until around 4 years old. It can be connected to the chassis via the use of ISOFIX connectors. It's also compatible with the My Babiie Explorer MB52 stroller. It is available in three fashionable fabrics, and comes with an infant seat that can be laid flat, a lie-flat insert, and a tall hood. When you're ready to transfer your baby from the car seat to the stroller, the seat simply clicks onto the chassis using two buttons to either side.
Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee is a stylish, practical, and affordable pushchair. It has been around since 2007 and was recently relaunched with the latest Bee 6 model. The main difference from previous models is that it now features an adjustable backrest that can be adjusted to height and a larger sun canopy, and the circular joint system, which makes it easier to move the seat and turn towards you or away from you.
The Bee 6 is also narrower which allows it to fit into public transport and navigate those tricky city streets. Plus, its iconic yellow colouring will make it easy for people to spot you on the sidewalk and for Deliveroo cyclists to spot you when they're racing down the street.
It's also enjoyable to drive, with a responsive steering. The suspension is smooth and pleasant. I also appreciated the spacious and deep basket which is ideal for shopping trips and that it can be easily accessed whether the seat is facing you or away.
The Bee's durability and strength is another aspect that impressed me. The handle bar feels great to hold and the pushchair is just a pleasure to use. It's easy to see that this is a buggy that's been designed to last for generations after generation.
Of course all of this isn't inexpensively - the Bee costs PS1000 at retail however, it's a lot less than other top-end strollers. In terms of its features and quality of construction, I think it's definitely worth the money. Particularly for those who value style as much as functionality.
Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double
The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double Jogger features stadium seating that can be used by two children. It can hold one car seat at one time and is compatible with many brands. It is more expensive than the other strollers on this list, but it does receive the highest marks for quality and features a large storage basket. It comes with an adjustable bumper that can be used for toys or as a place to relax.
This stroller is sleek in design and is easy to push. The three huge wheels are equipped with air-filled tires, which make jogging or navigating rough terrain simple. It's also extremely lightweight and comes with a comfortable ergonomic handlebar, a foot brake, and a hand brake that can be squeezed or pushed. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline and the canopy does not fully cover them completely.
This stroller can also be converted into a lightweight baby pram by adding an optional bassinet. It comes with a huge shopping basket that is ideal for grabbing food items while driving home. It is also extremely sturdy which means it can be used as a jogging stroller right from the beginning and last for several years.
It's a bit long and heavy to pass through narrow doors or into the car boot of a small size and is therefore best suited for families with a big driveway or garage, and who don't mind lugging it around. Its price can be a turn-off for some, and it's not compatible with infant car seats, so you'll require an additional bassinet for your child during the beginning of the eight months or so.
