Pushchairs + Travel

Generally, a pram has a fixed parent-facing carrycot and is designed for newborns to lie flat up to around six months old. For this reason, prams don't offer much versatility or longevity. Pushchairs are adaptable and can accommodate newborns and older infants, providing a complete solution that can be used for a long time. A stroller, also known as a buggy, is simply a type of pushchair. The term tends to refer to the more lightweight and compact frames designed for travel. Strollers offer convenience for parents living in urban areas, and they're great for families who spend the majority of time outdoors but need something that's easy to fold for transport and compact enough to store. Strollers are ideal for little ones over the age of 6 months. Some compact models can hold children up to 22kg.

Travel systems consist of a frame that can interchange attachments to suit your child's age. The attachments usually include a seat unit, carrycot or bassinet and car seat, as well as adapters. This offers advantages over a standard stroller, like the option to leave your little one asleep in their car seat or carrycot when on the move without having to disturb them. Many of our travel systems come with added accessories like footmuffs, seat liners, baby carriers, changing bags and rain covers, though you should always check if these are included with the pushchair.

Not every infant car seat fits on every pushchair, so you'll need to make sure your car seat is compatible with your pushchair and visa versa. Sometimes, you may need car seat adapters. If you intend to use a car seat with your pushchair, always check compatibility first or buy a ready-made travel system for convenience.

Simply put, the difference between a travel system and a stroller bundle is that travel systems include a car seat while stroller bundles don't have a car seat included. Stroller bundles often include all the same (or more) accessories you'll need on your strolls like rain covers, footmuffs, changing bags and cup holders. With or without the car seat, you'll save money when you buy travel systems and stroller bundles compared to buying all of the individual components at regular price.

Yes! We stock a range of twin and double travel systems for families with twins or two children close in age. These bundles feature a twin or double pushchair, two carrycots, two seat units, and two car seats, plus additional accessories all at excellent bundle prices. These are a great choice for those looking for a convenient pushchair to accommodate two children.

For a newborn baby, you should look for a travel system that bundles a pushchair, an infant car seat and base, and a carrycot or bassinet. A complete travel system is built to last and should adapt as your baby grows. Some travel systems also include additional accessories like changing bags, footmuffs and rain covers for added convenience. New babies require a fully reclined, 180-degree flat surface to support their spine, so a parent-facing bassinet or carrycot allows you to monitor and comfort your baby on strolls while supporting their physical development. Look for models with good suspension, a stable frame and high-quality wheels for smoother rides. Once your baby can support their head on their own, they can transition to a seat unit with a secure 5-point harness.

Before you buy a pushchair, we highly recommend you view and test it out in person. Is it easy to fold? Is it comfortable to manoeuvre? Will it fit in the boot of your car? We suggest testing out the stroller you're considering in person before you make your choice to ensure it meets your needs, inspecting details like the wheels and suspension to make sure you're happy. We also recommend researching the pushchair's features and reading online reviews with your needs in mind before you commit. You can view and try out many of the strollers we have for sale and get personalised expert advice with a free one-to-one baby appointment at our store in Bagshot.

We stock four main types of baby carriers: baby wrap carriers, buckle carriers, backpack carriers and slings for toddlers. Baby wrap carriers are made of a soft material that helps you keep baby close and supported from birth, while buckle baby carriers are popular for their versatility and safety features. Backpack carriers are ideal for hands-free hiking and outdoor adventures, while sling carriers help you keep toddlers comfortable and supported on days out.

Cleaning your pushchair is easy. All you'll need to do is ensure the wheels are clean, since any embedded debris and dirt can damage the wheels. The rest of the pushchair, including the cover, can simply be wiped clean with warm water or a damp sponge.

Travelling with a toddler can be a challenge if it's your first time. We recommend opting for a lightweight compact stroller (or a cabin-approved pushchair if you're travelling by aeroplane) that's easy to fold and store, plus other travel essentials like a travel car seat, a travel cot, and plenty of toys and activities to keep them occupied on their journey. We stock all of the essentials so you can find everything you need in one place.
