Product Information

Our tester’s two-year-old slept comfortably in the padded, supportive seat which has an adjustable calf support for use from birth - although it doesn’t quite lie flat enough for younger babies. Shop for cabin-approved: Consider if you'll be taking your stroller on a plane. If so, look for 'cabin-approved' buggies so that you have your pram as soon as you step off the plane. A softly glowing light shines from the base to illuminate all the fascinating colors and features of your pet insects. Meanwhile, the lid doubles as a magnifying glass so you can easily see every little detail. The PU rubber tyres, spring suspension and extendable handlebar make the stroller a dream to manoeuvre around small spaces and over rough terrain, with a one-handed fold that’s perfect for days when you’re frequently in and out of the car. The Astor 2 didn’t perform as well as other buggies in our topple tests - the instructions warn not to let children lean sideways out of the pram and, during testing, our toddler was able to make it lean to one side. But the swivel, puncture-proof wheels give a smooth comfortable ride for daily life (although they can be harder to manoeuvre on uneven ground). The pushchair whizzed through doorways no problem, but it did sometimes struggle to turn in small spaces.

Travel systems tend to be the go-to for parents of newborn babies because they're compatible with carrycots and baby car seats – the latter of which allows parents to transfer their baby from car to pushchair and vice versa with minimum hassle. Harness: Look at the harness - does it feel secure? A five-point harness is best for keeping your child safe. Make sure there are no gaps for little hands to get caught in and that any accessories, such as a cup holder, are out of reach.

A stroller, also known as a buggy, is a style of pushchair or pram that's lightweight, compact and typically used with older babies or toddlers. A good lightweight stroller or buggy will be light and nippy to push, as well as easy to manoeuvre. They are pricier than your average lightweight stroller, but as they’re suitable for newborns, you should get more use out of them than a cheap stroller that's only suitable for babies over six months. Matt made detailed notes on each product, scoring them out of a total of 48 points on how well they performed in each area. When the final scores were in, the products that performed the best were included in our round-up. About the authors Age range: Is the buggy suitable from birth? If it is, it will need to fully recline and you may want to make sure it's padded and sturdy enough for a tiny baby while holding any bags you’ll be taking along with you. Whether a buggy fully reclines or not can also be a dealbreaker with older babies and toddlers, especially if it'll be a safe place for your child to sleep when out and about. Additionally, what’s the upper end of the age range like? Do you want a buggy that'll last beyond early toddlerhood?

What is the most lightweight pram or buggy?

We also spoke to buggy expert Emma Redding, founder and director of BuggyFit, who sees a huge range of buggies through her work and regularly fields questions about the right stroller for both parent and child. She was able to advise us on what most parents are looking for when choosing a lightweight buggy. The small size and light weight of strollers make them a must for urban parents who regularly use public transport and are a good choice to take on holiday or on day trips.

Think about your stroller's main function: If you need a buggy for a holiday, that would be different than for use on a daily basis. Thanks to the toddler board and funky colour range, the Joolz travel buggy is a real conversation starter in the mum club and it's just been updated in time for the holiday season. And while the infinite recline mechanism is meant to be one-handed, it does feel clunky which isn’t ideal if you have a sleeping baby. The seat does, however, have a lovely, cushioned leatherette bumper bar to give parents extra peace of mind. The Ergobaby Metro+ folds down to a super compact size making it easy to use on public transport and to squeeze into car boots and most overhead cabin compartments.A stroller can be less sturdy than a pushchair, or may not have much suspension, so tend to give a bit more of a bumpy ride.
