Pushchair Reviews

We’ve been reviewing pushchairs honestly since 2006. Not manufacturer specs rewritten — real advice from real use, tested in UK conditions that matter: narrow doorways, bus aisles, car boots, park paths, and canal towpaths.

How we test

Every review says exactly how the pushchair was assessed — shop tests with Janette, long-term daily use by our daughter K, and real owners we’ve met out and about, from Beadnell to Roundhay Park to Casey’s Corner at Disneyland Paris. Scores are ours, never supplied by the brands, and we never pretend to have tested a pushchair we haven’t.

Silver Cross Breez mid-size all-terrain pushchair

Silver Cross Breez Review

Mark reviews the Silver Cross Breez — new for 2026, tested at the Baby Show. 7.5/10. The fold nuance most reviewers miss, honest terrain assessment and where it sits between the Clic 2 and Reef 2 in the Silver Cross range.

Silver Cross Clic 2 lightweight travel pushchair

Silver Cross Clic 2 Review

Mark reviews the Silver Cross Clic 2 — tested at John Lewis Leeds. 7/10. Fast one-handed fold, genuinely light at 6.5kg, but honest on the airline claim, the flimsy build and why the YOYO³ is the stronger pushchair overall.

Silver Cross Pop 2 lightweight stroller pushchair

Silver Cross Pop 2 Review

Mark reviews the Silver Cross Pop 2 — and admits his fondness for it may be partly nostalgia for the 2007 original. 7/10. Honest on the weight, the fold, and why it’s worth a look if neither is a daily constraint.

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Stokke YOYO2 vs YOYO³ — What Changed?

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Why is Stokke so Expensive?

Honest answer to why Stokke pushchairs cost so much — the engineering, the design philosophy, the category-defining YOYO, and the one accessory cost trap their marketing won’t warn you about.

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Stokke YOYO³ vs Cybex Libelle

Stokke YOYO³ or Cybex Libelle? Both are two-handed folds — so what actually separates them? Mark’s decision guide: weight, manoeuvrability, durability and the YOYO³ hidden cost trap.

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Stokke YOYO³ vs Joolz Aer2

Stokke YOYO³ or Joolz Aer2? Both weigh 6.2kg — but one has the fold, the other has the manoeuvrability. Mark’s hands-on decision guide settles it.

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Stokke YOYO³ vs Bugaboo Butterfly 2

Stokke YOYO³ or Bugaboo Butterfly 2? Mark’s hands-on decision guide — one question settles it for most parents. Long-term daily use on K’s YOYO³ confirmed. Honest on the fold, the accessories, and which one to buy.

Stokke Xplory X premium pushchair with elevated seat

Stokke Xplory X Review

Mark reviews the Stokke Xplory X — hands-on shop tested. 7.5/10. Honest on the elevated seat, the highchair marketing, the weight, and exactly who this pushchair is actually for.

Stokke YOYO³ ultra-lightweight compact pushchair

Stokke YOYO³ Review

Mark reviews the Stokke YOYO³ — backed by K’s long-term daily use on buses, into Leeds and round supermarkets. 9.5/10. Honest on the fold, the storage and the hidden cost of accessories.

Cybex Gazelle S modular pushchair in Almond Beige

Cybex Gazelle S vs Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2

Cybex Gazelle S or Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2? Mark’s hands-on decision guide — one question settles it for most parents. Honest on the hidden cost, the boot test, and what each pushchair is actually for.

Cybex Libelle ultra-lightweight travel pushchair

Cybex Libelle vs Bugaboo Butterfly 2

Cybex Libelle or Bugaboo Butterfly 2? Mark’s hands-on decision guide — one question settles it for most parents. Tested with daughter K on the Libelle and at Hesketh Farm on the Butterfly 2.
