Choosing a pushchair
A pushchair is one of a family's most expensive purchases, and you will use it outdoors every day for years. The right choice depends on your type of home, how you get around and the seasons. This guide goes through the most important features and the test drive.
You will need
- Measurements of your front door, lift and car boot
- A budget
- Information on where the pushchair will be kept
- The chance to test drive it in a shop or at a flea market
