There are many top names that sell terrific pushchairs and finding for the right one for your child can be a bit like going through a hodgepodge of unfamiliar devices if you don't know where to begin. If you're having your first baby, chances are that this will be the first time that you've gone through this process of selecting a pushchair and I know what an intimidating task it can seem to be with so many different makes and models to choose from.
In the standard pushchair, your child will face forward as you push. The better ones are typically a bit heftier than the your more basic and inexpensive models, but they are usually still very easy to maneuver. They're also usually very easy to fold and equally as easy to store away in compact places. The front wheels on pushchairs are usually your smaller size swiveling wheels, some even having dual sets on the front and back for better traction and control.

Pushchair Duos (also known as double pushchairs) are designed for parent/s that have twins. The pushchairs are especially designed to accommodate twins in one of two ways. One version is made in a tandem fashion where the children sit side-by-side. The other version, is the in-line seating arrangement where one child sits directly behind the other. It is slimmer, but functionally speaking it's a lot less of a sociable form for your children. The side-by-side duo models are preferred because the children are arranged next to one another and can therefore enjoy the scenery alike, whereas in the in-line models, often times the child in the front is trying to look back and attempting to get the attention of sibling behind them, in addition to the one in the rear having a difficult time seeing what's in front of him or her. The only real advantage to the in-line model is that they are a bit slimmer, but beyond that the side-by-side Duo models are preferable.
You also have the sport model pushchairs to look into. These are made with joggers or runners in mind and they are by far the sturdiest of the group. They're normally made to suit all land types and they come outfitted with larger wheels for movement over rough areas of land for example, rocky terrain. Sport model pushchairs usually come fitted with three large wheels (one wheel in front and two wheels in the rear). Some models can even completely recline so that newborns can be accommodated, but of course you want to be cautious of using it with children at such an early stage in development.
The last type we'll discuss is the most popular of all today because it serves so many functions. Pushchair travel systems are pushchairs that can attach a child car seat in addition to the pushchair itself. This combination is very functional because it provides you with an easy way to get your child into the car while they are still sleeping. They then allow you to safely get your child to your destination in the seat itself, and then easily get your child out of the car and into the pushchairs chassis to continue on your way. All while your child remained in the seat. Look for those that come with adjustable handles and shopping travellers beneath the pushchair. You may pay a little more for these, but truly they are worth it.
