Author name: Mark Hartshorne

I'm Mark Hartshorne, founder of MyPushchair.co.uk — one of the UK's original pushchair review sites, established in 2006. I spent over 20 years in the family travel and leisure industry, including many years as Managing Director of a UK coach tour operator, sending families on holiday across the UK and Europe. I'm a parent and grandparent with real, hands-on pushchair experience — including raising a son with cerebral palsy and autism, and a daughter with Tourette's syndrome and autism. I've tested pushchairs in the environments that matter: narrow doorways, bus aisles, car boots, park paths and 30+ visits to Disneyland Paris. My wife Janette contributes the grandparent perspective. My daughter — a current parent of two young children — trials pushchairs in genuine daily use. We don't tell you which pushchair is best. We help you find which pushchair is best for you.
