Consider whether the handlebar can be adjusted in height to make it comfortable for you, your spouse or anyone else who uses it frequently.

Most pushchairs that are "from birth" include a reversible seat so that you can choose the position of your child's seat, either facing you (to increase their communication skills) or in a world-facing position, to encourage their curiosity and let them be aware of where they are.

When the baby is outgrowing their infant car seat (usually until the age of 18 months) most travel systems can also be used with a stroller seat, meaning that they will last longer as your child grows. Most travel systems come with an additional stroller, however certain models, like the Doona or the Evenflo Shyft DualRide have a one piece design that allows the car seat to fold into a pushchair, then folded back into the base of the vehicle.

This makes getting out with a baby much more convenient. It also means that when your baby is no longer in their carrycot and car seat they will still be able to utilize the stroller. This is an excellent option for families that have busy lives and lots to do each day.

How easy is it to fold?

Some pushchairs fold with a single press. Some folds require two hands or a few steps but are still very compact. Some models even stand when folded which makes it simple to carry around. This type of design is ideal for those who reside in a city or commute, and wish to make the transition from your car to a pushchair an effortless process, or when you have a small boot and need something that folds down to fit in it.

Alternatively, some pushchairs will specify the car seats they are compatible with and you could buy a seat separately (though it may require car seat adaptors). MFM Editor Gemma's pick for the best travel pushchair travel system that is lightweight is the Babyzen YOYO due to its clever features and incredible one-second fold.

What does it look Like?
