Cheap Pushchairs
There are a number of things to take into consideration when you are looking for the perfect pushchair. What works for you in the outdoors may not work for urban living A pushchair Suitable from birth that glides easily over shiny shop floors might struggle on rough dirt.
If you’re thinking of having a baby number two then the option of a travel system that could be converted into a twin pushchair is ideal. They’re designed to grow along with your baby and can be used from birth up to six months.

The Peach 7’s aluminum chassis is lighter than most pushchairs near me, and its puncture-proof polyurethane tires are designed to withstand all terrains including bumpy pavements and sports grounds to parks and muddy paths. The suspension has been softer for comfort, both for the child and the parent. The front wheels can be rotated to allow you to turn corners with one hand. Its compact footprint and tight turning circle means it can easily maneuver narrow hallways and shop aisles which makes it ideal for city life.

Babyzen YOYO2
The Babyzen YOYO2 pram is a light stylish, elegant and user-friendly pram. It’s ideal if you reside in a city and frequently use the tube, would like to fold up your pushchair and put it in your trunk when driving or need a lightweight pram to take on a day out with just you and baby. It’s also green.
The YOYO 2 which is priced at PS399 and includes the chassis and the 6+ color pack. Add the newborn bassinet (sold separately) and you’ll be spending about PS800 for the complete travel set-up. This is in line with similar ‘urban pushchairs’ like the Bugaboo Bee 6.
YOYO 2 is extremely compact when folded, measuring 52 x 44×18 cm (20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 inches). It fits into the cabin baggage allowance guidelines established by many airlines. It is also one of the few double strollers that can be used at birth with the addition of either the newborn bassinet or the 0+ or Newborn fabric pack.
It has wheels that are small and are best suited to pavements and grass but can still tackle bumpier terrain – although adventurous families might want to look for something with all-terrain wheels. It’s got a clever feature also that is the handlebar can be tucked into the seat so that you can take a seat at a restaurant after rolling your YOYO 2.
The YOYO 2 is easy to maneuver, and has one of the smallest turning ratios in stroller land. It does require two people to fold it and unfold. It cannot be pulled by its wheels when folded, as other umbrella pushchairs.
My Babiie
If you’re looking for a complete travel system, the My Babiie is the perfect option. This bundle is suitable for use starting at birth. It includes a car, a carrycot, and pushchair all in one. It’s a good choice for newborns and toddlers because of its i-Size compatibility and a large car seat base. Plus, the seat is fully reclinable and will help your child or toddler sleep in the car. It also has a large and adjustable hood that shields them from the sun.
The My Babiie MB250 stroller is easy to use and folds with the carrycot, carrier or seat attached. It is a simple one-handed fold, and is light and easy to move around. It’s also compact, fitting into many small vehicles. It comes with a variety of accessories including a changing bag, rain cover and cup holder.
My Babiie is known for its chic products, which were created in collaboration with celebrities mums. The Belgravia Rose Gold and Black travel system is a great example, as it was designed with Christina Milian. But, even if celebrity partnerships aren’t your thing this is an excellent all-arounder with many features that will keep your family members happy.
This My Babiie MB500 iSize Spin car seat has been tested to the highest standards. It is suitable for infants aged from birth up to 4 years old. ISOFIX connectors can be used to attach it to the chassis. It’s also compatible with the My Babiie Explorer MB52 stroller. It is available in three stylish fabrics, and comes with a lay-flat seat, newborn insert and a tall hood. When you’re ready to transfer your little one from the car seat to the stroller, the seat simply clicks onto the chassis with two buttons to either side.
Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee is a stylish practical, affordable, and stylish pushchair. It’s been in use since 2007 and was recently relaunched with the brand new Bee 6 model. The major difference between earlier models is that it now comes with an adjustable height backrest and a larger sun canopy and a circular joint system making it easier to move the seat around and face it towards or away from you.
The Bee 6 is also narrower which allows it to fit into public transport and navigate the tricky urban streets. Its iconic yellow color can make it easier for passers-by to see you when walking around and for Deliveroo’s cyclists be able to spot you when they race down the street.
It’s also enjoyable to drive, thanks to its responsive steering. The suspension is smooth and nice. I also appreciated the spacious and deep basket which is ideal for shopping trips and it is easily accessed whether the seat is facing you or away.
Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is how solid and durable it feels. The handle bar is very comfortable to hold and the pushchair is simply a pleasure to use. It’s easy to see that this is a buggy that has been designed to last generation after generation.
Of course it’s not inexpensively – the Bee costs PS1000 at retail price however, it’s a lot less than other top-end strollers. It’s worth the price, considering its features and construction. Particularly for those as concerned about style as they are about function.
Baby Jogger Urban Glide Double
The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double Jogger comes with stadium-style seating that can accommodate two children. It can be used with a variety of brands and can fit one car seat. It’s more expensive than the other strollers on this list, however, it gets the highest marks for quality and comes with an enormous storage basket. It also comes with a bumper that can be used to store toys or as a place to rest.
The stroller is sleek and simple to push. The three large wheels are fitted with air-filled tires, which allow for jogging or navigating difficult terrain effortless. It’s lightweight, and offers a comfortable and ergonomic handbar, a footbrake, and a brake that can either be pushed or squeezed. The only disadvantages of this bike are that it does not recline, and the canopy doesn’t cover the entire seat.
Another advantage of this stroller is that it can be converted into a lightweight pram for newborns by incorporating a bassinet. It also has a massive shopping basket that is ideal to grab groceries on your way home. It is extremely robust and can be used right from the beginning as the jogging walker.
It’s too large and bulky to fit into narrow doors or even a small boot. It’s best for families with an expansive garage or driveway and don’t mind carrying it around. The price could be a hindrance for some. It is not compatible with infant car seats which means you’ll need to buy a bassinet on its own for the first 8 months.
