Weighing just 6.5kg, it's a super-lightweight buggy that offers plenty of space for a child to grow and could last you around five years, making it great value for money. An upgrade on the original Baby Jogger City Tour, it can be used with a carrycot and baby car seat so it’s suitable from birth with plenty of options for seating your child when you’re on your travels. You do need to buy them separately though. Engineered in Switzerland, it scored top marks for safety when we put it through testing with mum of two Liz. Made of heavy-duty materials with large, sturdy wheels and a solid aluminium frame, it can handle all manner of off-road terrain with ease, be that muddy fields or gravel paths.

A crucial stage in the buggy board fitting process is cutting the strap correctly. Make sure to cut the strap as close to the connector housing as possible, and smooth off any sharp edges. For your family’s safety, make sure that you don’t leave the strap uncut! Step 5 – Revisit the arms Toddlers love their independence. Being able to start making their own way in the world is such an exciting stage to watch them grow through. However, what do you do when their independence energy bar drops and your newborn has taken ownership of the pram or travel system? vote for the Metro+! We love ours, it's actually the only stroller we use now because I just don't need another one. It folds easily, goes in the overhead bins, fully reclines (you can use it for newborns and toddlers so helpful if you have a little one and one an older or ever will) and has a big hood and plenty of storage for us” - recommended by Mumsnet user, EisforElephants Our verdict The Mountain Buggy Freerider Stroller Board is made to fit the rear axle of all Mountain Buggy and Phil & Teds prams. But it can also fit the Baby Jogger City Mini, Britax Strider Plus, Bugaboo Cameleon and Bob Revolution with the use of an additional connector. Beloved by parents on our forums and beyond, the UPPAbaby Vista V2’s quality and longevity is what sets it apart from other travel systems on the market. That and it has one of the smoothest rides of all the pushchairs we recommend.For more information on pushchair safety, visit The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

I bought it for travel but ended up using it as my main pram through two babies!” - recommended by Mumsnet user, Imohsotired Our verdict In the early months, it's nice to be able to keep a close eye on your baby when you're outdoors, but as they grow older you might find that they're happier looking out at the world. Lightweight buggies

Tested with a seven-week-old, our parent tester, Laura, found the carrycot to be roomy and well padded with a sun canopy that can be extended quite substantially on sunny days. The sun hood is used for both the carrycot and the regular seat unit. Once you get used to altering your stride slightly to accommodate the small space the buggy board takes up, we think it’s very easy and comfortable to use. There’s naturally an extra pull from the weight of an additional child -- especially when walking uphill! -- but that would apply with a double pushchair as well. We think the Lascal BuggyBoard is a really easy and convenient solution for journeying with two, especially when your little one wants to walk sometimes but needs a rest at others. How easy is the Lascal BuggyBoard to fit? Similarly, if you use a BuggyBoard Saddle, the seat accessory designed for use with the BuggyBoard Maxi, you need to be sure that your child has adequate space to sit/stand comfortably. They should always sit rear facing. Parents on our Mumsnet talk boards often discuss the merits of buggy boards and are always keen to report on the best performing products - and the ones that fall short of expectations too. We've collated a list of the best buggy boards that Mumsnetters have tried, tested and rave about to put together this handy guide. A proud chassis, the egg2 ® 5-position handle has an adjustment range of 99 x 111cm, and with a redesigned central hub sporting a proud egg ® emblem. Featuring a ‘one-hand fold’, the chassis is compact when folded and freestands, with the handle clear from the ground. The egg2 ® is suitable from birth (with a carrycot) up to 25kg.A buggy board with a seat may work well for you if your older child is still relatively young and is likely to get tired and cranky if they have to stand on a buggy board for any considerable time. A dual purpose buggy board such as the BumpRider Sit Stroller Board offers versatility because it can be used as a seat or as a stand-on buggy board, depending on your needs. Are buggy boards easy to walk with? First things first, lay out all of your buggy board parts in sections so you can find all the bits you need with ease. Make sure you have all the relevant tools required before starting (i.e. screwdriver with correct head, spanner/pliers etc.) When your child rides on the buggy board, they’re actually positioned between your arms as you push the pram, making it extra safe. They can also hold onto the pushchair handle bar too. Larger puncture free tyres feature a unique egg-shaped tread pattern, with the stroller leaving its mark wherever it goes. Engineered for comfort, superior handling and added durability, egg2 ® has been fitted with Tru-Ride ® technology as standard.

Parents usually opt for the Maxi if they have a larger pram or a double buggy, and the Mini for a smaller stroller. We think the Maxi is easier to navigate over bumps and up and down kerbs, giving a slightly more stable ride, although both are secure for your tot to ride on. A travel system that is both stylish and functional, we think the Nuna Mixx Next is the best pushchair to buy right now. With a reversible seat, the option to add a car seat or a carrycot, large wheels for pushing over any terrain and an easy fold, this pram is versatile and easy to use. The sleek design and plentiful storage also make this a great choice for new parents. This is one for parents that are expecting twins or their second child and need to find a good double buggy for ferrying their family around. Mountain Buggy Duet V3 is a side-by-side buggy with lots of different configurations for life with two young children. Lascal has produced a good quality, solid board, with a non-slip surface to help your child travel safely. It can be hooked out of the way when not in use for short periods or you can completely remove it with ease.To use a pushchair in the first six months of your baby's life, you'll need the seat to lie completely flat, as recommended by the NHS. A lie-flat pram will support your baby's spine and help to keep their airwaves open. I love our Babyzen YOYO. I'm petite and it's the only one I've tried that is light and compact and easy enough to put up and down while also holding a baby (now toddler). We have stairs to leave the flat then have to fold it to get onto busy public transport - anything bulkier or heavier and that wouldn't be manageable alone, whereas the YOYO can go over my shoulder” - recommended by Mumsnet user, LeeMiller I have the Versatrax and really like it. Giant basket, folds easily forward- and rear-facing, easy to manoeuvre on most terrain. I think it is really good value for money” - rated by Mumsnet user, Clicheinaqashqai A good compact pram is a game-changer when holidaying with babies - how else do you get them and all their stuff to and from the plane without overloading your arms?

The Egg2 can be used with both a carrycot and car seat for newborns, but the main seat unit also has a lie-flat recline. The carrycot is both cosy and comfortable and super lightweight to lift off the chassis.Best of all, the seat is incredibly comfy for little bottoms and there are also built-in handlebars that kids will find really fun (while also helping to keep them secure). The seat can be easily removed, if your child prefers to stand during their ride. For scooter mode, you turn the rear wheel into the fixed position. To allow for manoeuvrability when it’s attached to the buggy, you can turn it for a 360 degree swivel function. There are light up, colourful wheels and an adjustable handlebar that houses four height options, from 68cm (26 inches) to 90cm (35inches) so it will grow with your child. As a scooter, it can handle up to 50kg of weight or 20kg as a buggy board when attached to a pushchair. Lascal and Bumprider are two kid boards that fit pretty much all strollers, so you can't really go wrong there.” - tried and tested by Mumsnet user, eliniatko Our verdict
