Choosing the right pushchair

When it comes to top tips for choosing a pushchair we've got them all. With more than 90 tested, and just over 30 deemed worthy Best Buys, we can recommend everything from a lightweight around-town Mamas & Papas stroller to a top-of-the-line Maclaren travel system.

Head to our pushchair reviews and we'll walk you through choosing the one that will suit you, your baby and your lifestyle. Our Best Buys are the safest and most convenient pushchairs around. A Which? Best Buy has the best combination of features that make a good pushchair - they're tried and tested by experienced parents.

It's essential that you try out a pushchair before buying.That doesn't mean you can't buy online, but it does mean you'll need to do some research first. Many stores have websites giving details of their stock, which can be handy if you're looking for a specific model. Parents' forums can be a great source of straight-talking advice - check out our lowdown on some of the best parents' forums.

Once you are satisfied that you've chosen the right pushchair, this guide aims to help you shop online confidently and pay the best price for your chosen model. We list sites that tend to offer great deals, but, as prices change frequently, it's always wise to compare prices before buying. We cover the best sites for comparing prices online in another part of this guide.

Best sites for pushchair deals

Below, we list sites where we found good deals or extras on pushchairs. If you buy goods online you have the same rights as you do when shopping on the high-street. We cover your rights to buying online in another section of this guide. If your choice of pushchair isn't widely available, go direct to the manufacturer's website to buy or for a list of suggested stockists. We chose the sites that we list below on the basis of price and the range offered - we haven't done any customer satisfaction surveys on them. We'd welcome feedback to which@which.co.uk.
