The best pushchairs have an adjustable seat that is roomy, padded and ventilated to ensure it is comfortable for your toddler or baby. The seat should be able to recline so your child can see the world and sit up. They usually have adjustable straps and leg rests so that you can find the most comfortable position.
You can also buy all-terrain strollers that are designed to be used off-road. These will have features such as large wheels that are puncture-proof and have an excellent suspension, making them a great option for walks in the countryside or cobbles in market towns. They could be heavier, bulkier and harder to fold into a boot.
