Suspension

The kind of suspension used in a pushchair may vary from one model to the next so it is important to think about your preferences and the terrain you'll be travelling over when choosing the best one for you. A suspension that is strong can be beneficial for those who live in rural areas and will be using their stroller for long walks, however it may not be necessary for those who reside in urban areas where smooth pavements are a common sight.

Larger wheels can offer better suspension than smaller ones because they are more likely to be able to absorb shocks. You will also find that some pushchairs are fitted with a combination of different types of tyres - pneumatic, foam-filled, or PU, which offer shock absorption without the danger of punctures.

Most 'from birth' pushchairs have two options for the seat to face either towards the parent (parent facing) or away from them (world facing) to let parents connect with their child and let them discover the world around them. Some pushchairs have extra features, such as a reclining seat back which reduces the amount of energy spent by your child sitting down. This can help to improve their posture.

The type of brake you choose to use is an important consideration for a pushchair user. The type of brake will differ from model to model. The most popular is a pedal for the foot that is located on the rear axle. It works by putting your feet on it to stop the wheels. Certain models include an active handbrake which you can manage by moving your hand in the direction of the movement. This is ideal for users who require a reliable and sensitive brake they can use quickly and effectively when they move around in the midst of a bustling area.

Some models come with an option to swivel the front wheel. This is a great feature in situations where you will traverse rough terrain. This is because the swivel allows you to manoeuvre more easily on uneven surfaces or when crossing a busy road.
