First you'll need to establish what kind of pushchair 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?

Some car seats have a mechanism to stop them being turned forward-facing too early, but others don't. If there is no way to stop the seat being turned to face forwards too early, it lost marks in our tests because of the potential for misuse. One of our favourite design features with this travel system is the built-in buggy board; it’s a lifesaver if you have older children. It will also save you money in the long run, as you won’t have to buy an additional buggy board or a double buggy, depending on the age of your other children. I have a Babyzen and love it.

There are lots of extra features to bear in mind when choosing a travel system. Most travel systems have a compact fold to fit your boot. Look out for models with one-hand or one-push folding systems—they’ll make sure you always have a hand free for baby. Some models will include a changing bag or shopping basket for baby’s essentials, or a canopy for shade. And in the UK a travel system that comes with a raincover is always a good choice! The bars must be smooth, securely fixed, and the distance between each bar should not be more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches), so your baby's head cannot get trapped. If you're looking for a swivel baby car seat – that's a car seat with a rotating base – you'll be pleased to know there are now more models than ever that have this feature.
