About this deal

It doesn’t just look good though. It’s super functional too, with a world- and parent-facing seat that can be folded down in either position. While you can’t do it one handed like the Bugaboo Bee 6, it's light and compact for fitting into a car boot and you have the option to remove the wheels if you need more space. The seat has very high sides even when not in carrycot mode so is snuggly and lovely for DD" - recommended by Mumsnet user, Njh1986 Our verdict It’s extremely nippy, especially if you’re navigating small shop aisles or public transport (be that trains or buses), and it offers a smooth and comfortable ride over pavements and paths. The small wheels mean it fares less well on bumpy, uneven terrain like grass and gravel, so this is something to bear in mind if you live in a more rural area.

Suitable from: Birth up to 25kg (around five years) | Weight: 8.5kg | Folded dimensions: 110 x 31 x 40cm | World-facing: Yes | Parent-facing: No | Car seat compatible: Yes | Wheels: Not specified | Carrycot included? No What we love

Suitable from: Birth to 22kg (around four years) | Weight: 11.5kg | Folded dimensions: 87 x 69 x 34cm | World-facing: Yes | Parent-facing: Yes (with carrycot) | Car seat compatible: Yes | Wheels: Air-filled tyres | Carrycot included? No, only as part of a bundle What we like

The buggy comes with everything you need to get out and about with two children. The carrycot converts to a seat after six months so there’s no need to buy extra seats or store a bulky carrycot. For older babies and toddlers, the seat has three recline settings, the lowest of which is an almost-flat recline, and the hood, which comes with an aerated peekaboo window, can be extended on warmer days. Cybex’s new ORFEO pushchair is designed for travel with your tot, sporting an ultra-compact, hand-luggage-compatible size. It can be easily folded and stored in any overhead compartment, while boasting an ergonomic lie-flat recline and adjustable leg rest. In terms of longevity, Cybex says that it can be used from birth (with the addition of the newborn nest or compatible car seat) to approximately four years old – although this will largely depend on your child’s height. This pram was tested with a very tall 20-month-year old passenger and his legs did dangle off the seat a little already. One of the pushchair’s big appeals is the number of options it offers. It can be used as a stroller from birth, with a spacious seat that can be either parent-or world-facing or switched out for a car seat or a carrycot with the included adaptors.We put the pushchairs in this list through their paces in day-to-day life with the help of real parent testers, who scored each one on six key areas: safety, assembly, day-to-day use, aesthetics and value for money. Our parent testers spent weeks with each pushchair, testing how well it coped in various scenarios such as shopping trips, muddy walks in the park, in the car boot, and on rough terrain. If you have plenty of space at your disposal in your home and a big car, and you’re not a frequent user of public transport, then a large and luxurious buggy will transport your little one in comfort. Otherwise, a lighter and slimmer model that you can easily lift onto the bus or tube, or that can be loaded into the car boot with ease (and perhaps even with one hand), will be a better option.

I’ve just passed mine on after six years of use and I think it was definitely worth the money. I had two kids with a two year age gap, so we used the single carrycot, seat, car seat adapter function, bought the Rumble seat as they got older, the works! It was absolutely brilliant, sturdy and easy to use [with a] big basket underneath. Not super light, but it lasted the years well. I’m tall and mainly chose it because the handle went high enough to be comfortable for me" - tried and tested by Mumsnet user, Creakycroaky Our verdict Extra features - Some pushchairs have extra design elements and these little details can really make you fall in love with your stroller. If you're wildly different from your partner in height, choose a pushchair with an adjustable handlebar. And think about whether you'd like the flexibility to change which direction the pushchair seat faces. If you can't see yourself faffing about with that, don't waste money on that extra functionality. A good compact pram is a game-changer when holidaying with babies - how else do you get them and all their stuff to and from the plane without overloading your arms? The frame is light and compact, with an extendable handle and swivel wheels for easy navigation and for hopping on and off public transport. The fold can be done one-handed and is petite enough to store in a small car boot. At just 6.2kg, the Babyzen YOYO2 is an incredibly lightweight buggy and is the ideal pushchair if you live in the city or like to travel. Cabin-bag size, with folded dimensions of just 52 x 44 x 18cm, and approved by most airlines as a carry-on, the YOYO2 is super compact when folded and features a handy strap for easily carrying it on and off the plane.

I love the Egg2. The suspension is great for all types of terrain: woods, pavement, bumpy roads, etc. My baby has been happy in it since she was a newborn. Although it’s heavy, the size is not too big for getting onto the bus or train. My car is a small KIA RIO, and it fits alright. With its adjustable height, it suits both petite (me) and tall (husband) really well” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user, Indoinuk Our verdict

An upgrade on the original Vista, the V2 boasts, among other things, a larger seat unit, improved suspension and a modernised harness that now doesn’t require any rethreading. In terms of car seat compatibility, the Vista V2 will fit the likes of Maxi-Cosi, Nuna and Cybex. First you'll need to establish what kind of pram will suit your needs. Are you looking for a travel system that you can attach a carrycot or baby car seat to? Or are you after a lightweight buggy or umbrella stroller for nipping around the city? A convertible double buggy may be better suited to you if you need to ferry two children around. Or maybe you're in need of a pushchair that can be fitted with a buggy board to accommodate an extra passenger? While it’s safe to use from birth, we don’t feel the seats recline flat enough to give adequate support for newborns, so we’d recommend this buggy from six months plus. Unfortunately, you can’t attach a carrycot and it’s not travel system-compatible, but we love the fuss-free design that’s ideal for busy, budget-conscious families. We think the Nuna Triv is the best pushchair you can buy because it comes with a luxurious carrycot that's suitable from birth and a seat unit that you can replace it with after six months, so you're covered from birth well into toddlerhood.

2. Best budget double buggy: Chicco Echo Twin Stroller
