Gold — Micralite GetGo, £395 (£482.50 with GetGo carrycot)

Comprising: GetGo stroller including removable hood and liner, bumper bar, shoulder strap, raincover, cup holder. Cosy Pod, GetGo Mitts and GetGo carrycot can be added an an additional cost.

Why it’s a winner: A dream to push, steer and fold, this smart-looking pushchair has a reversible seat that can recline flat. As well as the option of using the GetGo carrycot, the stroller can also hold a soft cocoon, known as a Cosy Pod, which is ideal for newborns and kept our testers’ babies cosy, warm and comfortable in cold weather. Ease of use was a big plus point, with one tester commenting that “it’s very easy to change the direction of the seat and simple to recline it with my baby in the pram, so I could lie my baby down smoothly once he had fallen asleep.” Another tester appreciated the addition of a coffee cup holder, while the plush GetGo Mitts got the thumbs up for keeping the pushing parents’ hands toasty warm on chilly days.

In the words of parent tester Lana, who tested this with their 10 week old: “I feel confident that the pram will grow with us as my baby gets older and goes through different developmental stages, from lying flat to sitting up, and from parent-facing to world-facing. The pram is incredibly easy to steer and navigate different terrain and has great suspension, plus it’s easy to unfold and fold, especially when separated into 2 parts (making it easier to store). I was so impressed; I expected a pram of such high quality to cost more.”

Best for: Easy fold.

In the words of parent tester Capri, who tested this with their 3 month old: “Stylish, good quality and very practical for busy parents, this sturdy buggy is intuitive to set up and use, and will grow with a child from birth to 22kg, meaning it will last many years. I particularly liked how compact the Oyster 3 is and how easy it is to fold into a freestanding unit. There’s even a built-in handle, so you can carry the pushchair onto a bus or up a flight of stairs easily.”

Bronze — Red Kite Push Me Savanna 3 in 1, £175

In the words of parent tester Carla-Louise, who tested this with their 6 week old: “An ideal choice for parents on a budget, the Savanna is worth the money; it’s good quality, looks lovely and is sturdy enough to last for several years. I really like that the carrycot converts into the seat and vice versa, which eliminates the need for an extra item to store, saving space, money and environmental waste. As a pram, the Push Me is easy to steer and the lockable front swivel wheels can be adjusted to suit the terrain. It fits nicely down narrow spaces, is lightweight and has a simple-to-master compact fold, making it a great option for families short on space.”

Joint Gold — iCandy Peach 7 & Carrycot, £1,099 for single or £1,584 for twin

Comprising: Peach chassis, carrycot fabrics, seat unit fabric, carrycot/seat unit frame, hood, mattress, baseboard, raincover, elevators, bumper bar, car seat adaptors.

Why it’s a winner: Like its predecessors, the top-of-the-range Peach 7 is built to last and accommodate your growing family, with a sturdy frame that can support a second carrycot or seat, converting the pushchair into a twin or double. It excels as a single stroller; our testers found it “really smooth to push and steer thanks to large all-terrain wheels and suspension, simple to fold and unfold with one hand, and very comfortable for baby.” The huge, easily accessible under-buggy basket drew praise from our testers, as did the generously sized carrycot, suitable for overnight sleeping, which our tester described as “a fantastic bonus which allows me to transfer my baby easily into the house to continue her nap safely.”

In the words of parent tester Sophie, who tested this with their 1 month old and 23 month old: “This incredibly stylish buggy is an investment, but represents good value in the long term as it has an upper weight limit of 25kg and can evolve with your expanding family. The deluxe fabrics of the carrycot are snuggly and comfortable for the baby and aesthetically appealing for parents, while the toddler seat unit reclines really easily and allows plenty of space for my toddler. The large extendable hood effectively protects the baby or child from the elements.”

Joint Gold — UPPAbaby MINU V2 & Carrycot, £764.97

Comprising: MINU V2 pushchair, bumper bar, carrycot, adaptors.

Why it’s a winner: Offering the comfort of a big pram for newborns with the convenience and lighter frame of a compact buggy, this elegant pushchair looks as premium as its siblings (Vista and Cruz) but has a smaller footprint, making it ideal for homes with limited storage space or for using on public transport. Our testers found it “agile to push in shops and over rough pavement, quick to fold and unfold with one hand and very light to carry up stairs or onto the tube.” The seat unit can hold a child weighing up to 22kg (around 4 years old) and boasts multi-position recline and an adjustable legrest. What makes this especially good for newborns is the MINU chassis is compatible with the same carrycot that is used on the Vista and Cruz – it’s spacious, well padded and suitable for overnight sleeping.

In the words of parent tester Cailey, who tested this with their 1 month old: “This is a great option if you’re looking for a quality pushchair that’s suitable from birth to the toddler stage, lightweight, compact, easy to travel with and looks great. The carrycot is really well built – comfortable for baby, well insulated and easy to take on and off the chassis. When folded, the base of the buggy takes up very little room in the boot of my car and can also be carried using the handy built-in strap, making it easy to transport.”

Silver — egg2 Stroller & Carrycot, from £1,108

Comprising: egg2 stroller, carrycot.

Best for: Style.

In the words of parent tester Catherine, who tested this with their 2 month old: “This is a great product and well worth the cost; it’s ideal for families small and big as it can turn into double buggy. The size, iconic style and design are perfect, plus it’s really well made and intuitive to use. The frame is robust and although not the lightest, it is easy to fold; the large slim wheels make navigating different terrain simple, the brakes are strong and the hood helps to shield my baby from light and some noise. The carrycot, which is suitable for occasional overnight sleeping, kept my baby snug, safe and comfortable enough to stay asleep even while I pushed her over lumpy and bumpy ground.”

Buy from: John Lewis, Very and Uber Kids

Bronze — Silver Cross Reef & First Bed Folding Carrycot, £1,170

Comprising: Reef chassis, seat unit with hood, bumper bar, sun sail, raincover, First Bed Folding Carrycot.

Best for: Fold-flat carrycot.

In the words of parent tester Julie, who tested this with their 4 week old: “The premium quality, durability and smooth pushing of the pram definitely makes it worth the money. However the standout feature for me is the ability to collapse the carrycot, which makes it compact enough to fit in my car boot and take up less space when stored at home. The collapse feature has definitely allowed me to take my baby out more often as it fits in my car boot; my previous non-collapsible carrycot did not. The Reef carrycot is much bigger than the other Silver Cross one we own, and the spacious width and length of the Reef mean my baby is more likely to be comfortable inside it for longer.”

One tester was delighted to discover, “both the carrycot and pushchair seat are well padded for comfort and covered by wipeable and washable material,” while another was impressed by the “excellent brake, large hood and the seat incline, which is brilliant as it meant my son could look at me and explore the world around him.”

In the words of parent tester Rebecca, who tested this with their 6 week old and 2 year old: “Practical and stylish, surprisingly light yet sturdy enough to keep children of all ages safe and protected while on the go, the Stomp Luxe travel system is worth every penny. The puncture-proof rear rubber wheels and self-locking, swivel front wheels handled all kinds of terrain – gravel, mud, pavements and even sand – really well and the pushchair was effortless to push up inclines and through narrow spaces.”

The travel system is super light and nimble so I had no issues pushing it around busy streets, tight corners or up kerbs, and the large wheels meant it did well on grass, gravel, snow and ice. The pretty pattern on the inside of the hood is unique, very sweet and keeps my baby entertained for a good while, and I really like that the hood can be used on both the carrycot and the seat unit, saving space.”

I particularly liked the deep, spacious shopping basket which was easily accessible even with the carrycot in position (not always a given), and the one-click fold, which collapses the buggy into a reasonably compact size that fits into the boot of my small car.”

You can also pull it along like a wheelie case using the handle, making travel a doddle. The pushchair is comfortable to sit in; the seat is firm yet well padded and my little girl was very well supported while sitting up or reclining.

Our testers were impressed by how quick, easy and intuitive it was to install on their buggies, that it didn’t interfere with the folding mechanism and what a difference it made to their babies, with one commenting, “it’s made my stroller so much warmer and cosier; for the first time ever, my baby is actually sleeping in her stroller as she is now comfortable.” The liner is also effective at keeping babies cool in the summer, so can be used all year round.

In the words of parent tester Jessica, who tested this with their 15 month old: “The liner is cut from a single piece of sheepskin so there are no awkward seams, and the fleece is lovely and snuggly, keeping my baby warm outdoors but not too hot when we we dash into warm shops. It looks and feels like a high quality piece and it adds a little luxury to our every day.”

In the words of parent tester Nicky, who tested this with their 3 month old: “The Rocker fits nicely on my pram and is very easy to use, with a simple on/off button and a dial to adjust the speed.
