How parents rate iCandy, Silver Cross and 16 other popular pushchair brands

Every year, we ask parents to rate their pushchair and tell us about their experience of using it.

This so that we can get real-life feedback on pushchairs, in addition to conducting our tough tests all year round to see which are the easiest to push, most comfortable for your baby and the simplest to fold.

Below find out the difference between the highest and lowest-rated brands, as well as feedback from parents about their particular pushchair.
