It is able to fit into cabin baggage allowance standards established by many airlines and is among the few double strollers that can be used from birth, with the addition of a newborn bassinet or the 0+ or Newborn fabric pack.

It has wheels that are small and are best for grass and pavements, however, it can also take on bumpier terrain. However, adventurous families might want to consider something with all-terrain tires. It also has a neat trick that the handle bar can be tucked away, so you can roll your YOYO 2 to a table in a restaurant and sit down.

The YOYO 2 with its low turn ratio, is one of the strollers that is easy to maneuver. It requires two people to fold it and unfold. It isn't able to be pulled by its wheels when folded similar to other umbrella pushchairs.

The My Babiie travel system is an excellent choice If you're looking for a complete system. It can be used starting at the time of birth. It comes with a car, a carrycot, and pushchair in one. This car seat is a great option for toddlers or newborns, thanks to its large base and i-Size compatibility. Plus, the seat is fully reclinable and will help your child or toddler nap on the go.

Bugaboo Bee

The Bugaboo Bee is a stylish practical, affordable, and stylish pushchair. It's been around since 2007 and recently underwent a relaunch with the new Bee 6. The main difference from earlier models is that it now has an adjustable height backrest as well as a bigger sun canopy, and a circular joint system making it easier to move the seat and turn it towards you or away from you.

The Bee 6 is also narrower which allows it to fit onto public transport and navigate the tangled city streets. The iconic yellow color will also make it easier for people to spot you in the street and for Deliveroo's cyclists to see you while they whiz down the street.

It's a delight to drive too with a smooth steering and a smooth suspension. I also enjoyed the wide and deep basket, which is ideal for supermarket trips, and the fact that it's accessible whether you have the seat facing your way or away from you.

Another thing that really impressed me about the Bee is the way it is solid and sturdy feels. The handle bar is fun to hold, and the pushchair just oozes quality. It's clear that this model is built to last for a long time.

Of course, none of this comes cheap - the Bee costs PS1000 at full price but it's also much less than other top-end strollers. With its capabilities and build quality I believe it's worth the money. Particularly for those not as concerned with style as they are with functionality.

Baby Jogger Urban Glide Double

The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double Jogger comes with stadium-style seating that can hold two children. It can fit one car seat at one time and is compatible with a variety of brands. It is more expensive than the other strollers on this list, however it is awarded the highest marks for quality and has an enormous storage basket. It also comes with a bumper bar that can be used to store toys or serve as a resting place for children.

The stroller has a sleek design and is easy to push. Its three enormous wheels have air-filled tires that make jogging or navigating rough terrain a breeze. It is also very lightweight and comes with a comfortable ergonomic handlebar and foot brake and a hand brake that can be squeezed or pushed. The only downsides are that the seats don't recline and the canopy doesn't completely cover them completely.

This stroller can be converted into a lightweight baby pram by incorporating a bassinet. It also has a huge shopping basket that is ideal to pick up items to take home on your way back. It is robust and can be used right from the beginning as a jogging walker.

It's a bit big and bulky to fit through narrow doors or a small car boot It is best suited to families with a big garage or driveway and who don't mind lugging it around. The price is a turn-off for some, and it isn't compatible with infant car seats, so you will have to buy an additional bassinet for your child during the beginning of the eight months or so.
