Popular pushchairs 2012
-
Babystyle Oyster - this pushchair offers 13 different interchangeable fabric colours. But how easy is it to fold?
-
Uppababy Vista - you may be able to use this pushchair for quite a while as it's suitable until your child weighs 22kg. But is it easy to manoeuvre?
-
Mamas & Papas Sola - the price of this stylish-looking pushchair is certainly attractive. But what did our expert panel think of it in action?
-
Bugaboo Cameleon - Bugaboo claims this pushchair will take you everywhere you want to go. But what niggles do you have to watch out for?
-
iCandy Strawberry - in zingy red, deep pink, black or silver, this iconic pushchair is a stylish offering from iCandy. But how easy is it to get it on a bus?
-
Quinny Buzz 3 - this pushchair's automatic unfolding system has appealed to many parents. But is it a one-trick pony?
-
Silver Cross Surf - Silver Cross is a British institution, best known for its traditional prams. But are its pushchairs any good, or are you just paying for the brand name?
