cheap pushchairs (what google did to me)

When you are looking for the perfect egg pushchair, there are many things to consider. What is suitable for you in the outdoors may not suit city living and a stroller that is easy to maneuver over shiny floors may struggle on rough, muddy terrain.

If you're planning to have a baby number two, the option of a travel system that could be converted into a twin pushchair is perfect. They're designed to grow with your baby and can be used from birth up to six months.

iCandy Peach

This deluxe pram is loved by famous moms and offers a remarkable amount of features for the money. It is suitable for babies due to the spacious carrycot. It can also be converted into a twin pushchair using innovative adapters. The premium knitted jerseys have an elegant soft and durable feel. A large, extendable canopy as well as multi-position recline seat provide baby with maximum comfort, while a handy zip-up pocket is a great place to store essentials. Elevators raise the seat making it a highchair-on-the-go that allows parents to take their roll-ups to eat in restaurants. It also comes with a stylish footmuff and changing bag for an all-in-one travel system.

The Peach 7's aluminium chassis is lighter than the majority of pushchairs. Its puncture-proof polyurethane tyres are designed to withstand all terrains from bumpy surfaces and sports grounds to muddy forest paths and parkland. The suspension has been made softer to provide comfort, both for the baby and the parent. The front wheels can be turned to allow you to turn corners using just one hand. The small footprint and the tight turning circle means it can easily navigate narrow hallways and shop aisles which makes it ideal for city life.

This model is available in a range of colours, including iCandy Black Special Edition with black chassis and fabric to create a monochrome appearance. It comes with an integrated cup holder and is compatible with the iCandy Cuddler and iCandy Sidekick Stroller. It is available for purchase at iCandy directly for PS1,149, or from third-party retailers such as Babythingz.

Babyzen YOYO2

The Babyzen YOYO2 is a non-gimmick stroller that offers ease of use and comfort in a compact and elegant shell. This is the perfect pram for city dweller and take the tube often and want to fold it up and put it in your trunk when driving, or if you require a stroller that is lightweight for days out with just you and your baby. It's also eco-friendly.

The YOYO 2 which is priced at PS399, includes the chassis and 6+ color pack. Add the bassinet for newborns (sold separately) and you'll be spending around PS800 on the complete travel set-up. This is in line with similar 'urban pushchairs' like the Bugaboo Bee 6.

YOYO 2 is extremely compact when folded, measuring 52 x 44 x18 cm (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 inches). It is compatible with allowances for cabin baggage set by most airlines. It is also one of the few double strollers which can be used right from birth, using either the newborn bassinet or the newborn fabric pack.

It has small wheels which are ideal for grass and pavements, but can still take on bumpier terrain. However, adventurous families might want to consider something with all-terrain tires. It's got a clever feature as well that is the handlebar can be folded into the seat so that you can enjoy a meal at a restaurant after rolling your YOYO 2.

The YOYO 2 is easy to maneuver, and has one of the lowest turning ratios in stroller land. However, it does require two hands to fold and unfold. It is also not able to be pulled along its wheels while folded as many other umbrella pushchairs.

My Babiie

The My Babiie travel system is an excellent option when you're looking for a complete set. This set is designed to be used starting at birth and includes the car seat, carrycot and pushchair seat all in one. This car seat is an excellent option for toddlers or newborns due to its wide base and i-Size compatibility. The seat is also fully reclineable, allowing your child to sleep while on the move. It comes with a large, adjustable hood that shields them from the sun.

The My Babiie MB250 is easy to fold and can be used with a seat, carrycot or carrier attached. It is a simple one-handed fold, and is light which makes it easy to move around. It's also compact, fitting into many small vehicles. It comes with a range of accessories including an umbrella, a rain cover and cup holder.

My Babiie has a good reputation for their stylish products, that have been created in collaboration with famous mums. Christina Milian was involved in the design of the Belgravia Black and Rose Gold Travel System. But, even if celebrity partnerships aren't your thing this is an excellent all-rounder with many features that will keep your family members happy.

This My Babiie MB500 iSize Spin car seat has been tested according to the highest standards. It is suitable for infants from birth until around 4 years old and can be attached to the chassis with the use of ISOFIX connectors. It's also compatible with the My Babiie Explorer MB52 stroller. It is available in three fashionable fabrics and features a lie-flat seat, newborn insert and a tall hood. If you're ready to transfer your child from the car seat into the stroller, just click the seat onto the chassis by pressing two buttons on both sides.

Bugaboo Bee

Elegant, practical and inexpensive stylish, practical and affordable, the Bugaboo Bee is one of the top pushchairs available that you can buy. It's been around since 2007 and was recently relaunched with the brand new Bee 6 model. The most notable difference over earlier models is that it now features an adjustable height backrest as well as a bigger sun canopy and an articulating system that is circular, making it easier to move the seat around and face towards you or away from you.

The Bee 6 is also a lot narrower which makes it ideal to squeeze into public transport or for navigating those tricky city streets. Its iconic yellow colour can make it easier for people to spot you when walking around and for Deliveroo's bicycles to spot you as they rush down the street.

It's also a joy to drive, with a responsive steering. The suspension is smooth and nice. I also liked the large and deep basket that is ideal for grocery shopping and it is easily accessed whether the seat is facing you or away.

Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is the way it is solid and sturdy feels. The handle bar is fun to hold and the pushchair just oozes quality. It's easy to see that this is a buggy that has been designed to last for generations after generation.

Of course all of this isn't cheap. The Bee costs PS1000 at retail but it's also much less than other high-end strollers. It's a good value considering its features and build. Especially for those who value style as well as function.

Baby Jogger Urban Glide Double

The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double Jogger features stadium seating that can hold two children. It can be used with a variety of brands and will fit one car seat. It is more expensive than other strollers on this list however, it has a huge storage basket as well as a high quality score. It also comes with a bumper bar that can be used to store toys or provide a resting area for children.

This stroller is sleek and easy to push. The three wheels are massive and have air-filled tires that make jogging and navigating rough terrain a breeze. It is lightweight, has a great ergonomic handbar, a footbrake and a brake that can either be pushed or squeezed. The only downsides are that the seats can't recline and the canopy doesn't completely cover the seats.

Another advantage of this stroller is that it can be converted into a light stroller for infants by adding the optional bassinet. It also comes with a large shopping basket that is perfect to pick up items to take home on your way back. It is also extremely sturdy and can be used as a jogging walker from the beginning and will last for many years.

It's too long and bulky to fit into narrow doors or a tiny boot. Therefore, it's best for families who have an extensive garage or driveway and don't mind carrying it around. Its price is also an issue for some, and it's not compatible with infant car seats, so you will need to purchase an additional bassinet for the first eight months or so.
