Pushchairs are baby travel systems that allow children - usually up to three years old - to travel in a sitting position, mostly facing forwards. In the US, these travel systems are known as “strollers”. Nowadays these products even come in models that can be reconfigured, allowing parents to carry babies both in a sitting posture as well as in lying position.

Besides single strollers, varieties like double pushchairs are also available, designed for twins or babies of a similar age. There are triple strollers as well, and they can be used for children up to the age of four years. In terms of positioning of seats, strollers for multiple infants can be categorized into twin (side-by-side) and tandem (one behind another).

Then there are the 3-wheeler models, which are all-terrain travel systems. These are suitable for use both on uneven ground and on city roads. They are sturdy yet light in weight, and are easily navigable. They come with accessories like carrycots and car seats.

However, 3 wheeler pushchairs require more space for storage. So if you are looking for strollers that are easy to store, you can go for the flat-folding models. They can be folded in half to take a flat square shape. You can also get umbrella-folding strollers, which are best for children from six months upwards. They can be folded into a tall thin shape resembling a folded umbrella, and hence the name.

Thus, pushchairs now come in different shapes, sizes and designs, and you need to make sure that the one you choose suits your requirements.
