How we chose our recommendations Recommendations from real Mumsnet users Featuring two comfortable seats with secure five-point safety harnesses, you can reverse the liners to switch between pink and blue as preferred. Each seat can be customised entirely to the child, with the ability to lie flat, recline or sit more upright to see the world around them - ideal if you've got a curious toddler and a younger baby who needs to nap on the go. The stroller gets its all-important name from the reflective parts that can be found on the wheels and the hood, which are such a great safety feature if you are out and about walking your little one in the darker nights. This cannot be stressed enough, as it makes it the longest lasting buggy in the category, something our tester appreciated when she was able to use it for both her newborn and her 3.5-year-old toddler. The Reflex's infant set up, which is all included in the price, comes with a padded seat cover and head support for your new baby. This head hugger was a big favourite with our tester's three-month-old who is used to a carrycot, and it definitely helped with her transition to a buggy. Are there lots of extra features?

With a detachable hood and rain cover, the Red Kite Push Me 2U stroller is ready for whatever the weather may bring, with a small mesh basket providing space for a coat or blanket beneath the seat. A umbrella pram is a lightweight pushchair that, similar to an umbrella, can fold in on itself when not in use. Unlike a traditional pushchair that folds in half downwards or flips forward, umbrella strollers stay long and narrow when folded, often making them easier to store vertically for houses that are limited in space. What are the benefits of using an umbrella pram? Clear Visibility】 Includes a front-facing opening window that provides a good view for the baby, the material resists bending and scratching.

I had a Joie Aire. It was the best buggy I ever had. It was lightweight with a huge basket. I can't say if it will fit in a car boot easily as I didn't have a car at the time. That's why I was so glad it had a huge basket so I could get my weekly shop in it!! It was also fairly cheap. It had a lot of use and was still in good condition when I finished with it” - Therealmrsclaus We had the Joie Aire Twin. It was suitable from birth and was just right for our newborn and just two-year-old. Easy to fold up and went in our boot (we have a big car though)"- Treaclespongeandcustard Our verdict If you're spending a little bit more on a lightweight buggy then the last thing you want is for your little one to grow out of it in no time at all. Fret ye not, the Reflex pushchair is great if you have multiple kids, as it’s suitable for all ages from birth to 22kg. With a large extendable SPF50 sun hood and a rain cover included, it’s as well suited to everyday use as a convenient and compact stroller for travel. The Silver Cross Reflex is a high-end umbrella stroller with a high weight capacity. The stroller is named after the reflective elements on the wheels and the hood. Older versions of the Reflex featured LED lights on each side of the stroller, but these were removed later on due to frequent failures.A number of extras are included on the Silver Cross Reflex, which goes some way to justifying the Reflex’s higher price. As well as the infant padding seat liner, there's a decent-sized UPF 50+ extendable hood, a shopping basket, and a rain cover. It also comes with car seat adaptors, moving the buggy more into travel system territory. The large SPF100 hood is ideal for bright sunny days but the rain cover and footmuff ensure your baby will stay warm and dry when the weather takes a turn. That said, reviewers aren’t keen on the rain cover design, finding it fiddly and difficult to secure during a sudden downpour. Featuring a luxury quilted liner and footmuff, a fully padded harness and variable calf support, you can easily adjust the seat to meet your baby’s needs as they grow.
