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.
