5 Best Single Pushchairs

A good pushchair will last several years - therefore it's worthwhile to invest in one that you'll be content to use. It should also suit your lifestyle and environment.

Choose a pram which converts from the 'pramette' that is flat to a pushchair (suitable from birth) and then to a double or twin pushchair as your family expands. It should be easy to set up and maneuver.

Cosatto Woosh XL

This is a small from birth pushchair that offers serious benefits for babies. Its sturdy but light 7kg chassis can hold up to 25kg, which means that even larger toddlers can use it for longer. It is forward-facing and has a recline seat. It comes with a UPF100+ hood to protect you from the sun. It's simple to open, just lift the safety locks on each side and pull it open. It is possible to close it by pressing the button on the handlebar's top. It folds down into a compact, compact bundle which is a great storage solution. It is also extremely light and easy to manoeuvre.

This stroller is compatible with Cosatto Dock 0+ car seats as well as Woosh XL Carrycot. It is easy to convert into a full travel system by attaching appropriate adaptors to all of these items. This will allow your child to sit in the car seat and you can take advantage of connected journeys. This will reduce the amount and frequency of vehicle pick-ups and wake-ups, resulting less disturbance to your child's sleep patterns.

The Woosh XL is a standout from the rest due to its many features. It features an front wheel that can be locked in place which makes it easier to maneuver. It has a leatherette-covered thick handlebar and a foldable basket. It is adorned with a variety of other details including baby-pleasing designs and heat-branded Leatherette with contrast-curved seams, as well as nooks and crannys to explore.

Its main drawback is that the seat and harness size are quite small, which means it's not suitable for older children. The shoulder straps didn't fit our 3-year-old tester when she tried it. It was a pity that it wouldn't have been a fantastic option for the child. It's a gorgeous pushchair. We love the design and the fact that it can fit a car seat or carrycot. It comes with a fantastic four year warranty, too.

iCandy Peach 7

The iCandy Peach 7 pram is an award-winning model with a range of top-quality fabrics and luxurious features, as well as modern functionality.

iCandy designers have concentrated on the little aspects that are important to parents. This includes a brand new, easy-to-open main chassis, which has an integrated carry strap that allows parents to open the chassis using one hand. This is a great feature, particularly when you need to carry bags, infants, and other things.

A new streamlined seat unit offers greater comfort, thanks to an increased cushion of soft foam and an ergonomically-shaped backrest that is a further 20mm higher from the seat base to back. This improves the posture of your baby and helps to support their development of the spine. The new reclining mechanism comes with four positions, so you can adjust it to meet your child's requirements.

This elegant pushchair comes with number of useful accessories to meet the needs of all families including an insulated cup and changing bag holder to a soft fleece footmuff and a matching parasol. It also comes with a large basket, which can easily take a week's worth shopping.

The iCandy Peach 7 can be utilized from birth with the comfortable and spacious carrycot (suitable for sleep over) or with the spacious seat, which is either rear or front facing.

Silver Cross Tide

British brand Silver Cross is a name you'll recognize, and its premium prams have a loyal fan base of celebrities. Kate Middleton chose the Sleepover Elegance to carry baby George and Simon Cowell and Gerry Horner picked the Surf: Aston Martin Edition. The brand is loved by celebrities. Tide is their latest model, and is designed to be a complete travel solution. Silver Cross' smallest, lightest multi-terrain stroller provides the perfect balance of convenience and comfort.

Tide is suitable from birth and has carrycots that can be used as an overnight sleep device. It also has an easy-to-lay-flat seat that makes it easy to move from the park to the pavement. Its lightweight frame, powerful 4-wheel suspension and a smooth ride on rough terrain are all thanks to its lightweight frame. The UPF50+ extending sun hood and pop-up ventilation system provide a superior level of protection from the elements, while a large peekaboo window allows you to keep your eyes with your child.

In terms of storage, this model has a generously sized shopping basket that can fit all the essentials for your day out. A smartly integrated cup holder and phone holder help keep your valuables safe and accessible. The reversible seat is compatible with car seats and has several recline positions. It also has the unique magnetic Genius clasp for easy and quick attachment.

Silver Cross knows the needs of modern parents, so they designed Tide as a one stop travel solution. The Genius magnetic buckle is easy to use and helps make outings easier. Cushioned harness pads ensure a secure, comfortable fit for your child. The reversible seat of the pushchair can be set to face you or the outside world. This allows you to look into the eyes of your child or let him enjoy the view.

Tide is available in a range of calming shades and finishes like chalky stone, soft sage and bold black to match your family's style. It can be purchased as a standalone pushchair or as part of the Tide 3-in-1 travel system bundle which includes Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix iSize car seats and adaptors.

Babyzen YOYO2

Since the first YOYO launched in 2012 Babyzen has built a strong reputation for its super-light pushchairs. The YOYO2 model takes that design and refines it even further to increase comfort, functionality and practicality, all while keeping that iconic style! It folds down compactly and with one hand into a single push chair element that is light and easy to carry. It is able to be easily carried through subway barriers, and then tucked away in the smallest boot. It can even be carried on the plane!

The YOYO2 is also designed to allow you to connect an infant car seat that is compatible to create a travel system. It comes with a set of adaptors that are easy to set up. It worked flawlessly for our tester when she used it with the BeSafe capsule in the i-size. The seat is then clicked into place and you're ready to go.

It rolls very smoothly over paved surfaces and the suspension really offers a beautiful and cushioned ride for the baby. However, we noticed that it a bit difficult on mud and grass or on uneven pavements (small dips or uneven pavement slabs) and this is what makes us less certain about it being the pram of choice for babies who's heads are more prone to being bounced around.

For parents the YOYO2 is very easy to manoeuvre and comes with a variety of features like a large shopping basket (up to 5kg), a comfortable and adjustable seat cushion, a multi-position reclined backrest, secure 5-point harness, and UV-resistant fabrics which make sure your baby is comfy. There's a big pocket on the back of the canopy and an accompanying carry bag as well as a peekaboo view with a rain cover and a UPF 50+ hood.

The frame, fabric elements, and the hood can be washed by machine. The YOYO2 also comes with a great selection of accessories to help you make it look just the way you want it to, including a separate footmuff and parasol. It is also able to be converted into an e-bike by adding the YOYO connect chassis.
