5 Best cheap single pushchair Pushchairs

It's worthwhile to invest in a pushchair that you will be happy using. It should also suit your lifestyle and environment.

You should consider an infant stroller that can be transformed from a 'pramette or lie-flat stroller to a pushchair (suitable at birth) and then doubling or twin pushchairs as your family grows. It should be easy to set up and maneuver.

Cosatto Woosh XL

This is a compact, from-birth pushchair with serious baby benefits. The sturdy, yet lightweight 7kg chassis can hold up to 25kg. This means even bigger toddlers can use this pushchair for longer. It is forward-facing and has a recline seat. It has an UPF100+ hood that will protect you from the sun. It is simple to open, just release the safety locks on both sides and pull it up. It is easy to close by pressing the button on the top of the handlebar. It folds down into an extremely compact package that can be a storage star. It is also extremely light and easy to manoeuvre.

This stroller is compatible with Cosatto Dock 0+ car seats and Woosh XL Carrycot. It is easy to convert into a full travel system by attaching appropriate adaptors to each of these items. The child can then be seated in the car seat or pushchair while you enjoy a connected journey. This will decrease the frequency of car pick-ups and wake ups, resulting in less disruption to your little one's sleeping patterns.

The Woosh XL has some lovely features that make it stand out from the competition. For instance, it comes with a lockable swivel front wheel which makes it much easier to maneuver in tight spaces. It has a leatherette-covered thick handlebar as well as a folding basket. It also has a host of other features, including baby-pleasing patterns with heat-branded leatherette, contrast curving seams and nooks and crannies to explore.

The main drawback is that the size of the seat and harness are quite limited, so it may not be suitable for older children. Our test subject was her 3-year-old, and found that the shoulder straps didn't fit his size. It was a pity, because it could be a fantastic choice for him. It's still a stunning pushchair, though and we love its style and the fact that it can be used with an infant car seat and a carrycot. It comes with a fantastic four year guarantee, too.

Babyzen YOYO2

Since the launch of the first YOYO in 2012, Babyzen has gained a reputation for producing super-nimble strollers. The YOYO2 model is refined to provide even more comfort, function and convenience while maintaining its distinctive style. It can be folded compactly by using one hand. It is light and portable. It is easy to slide through subway barriers and tucks into the smallest boot or trunk. It can even be carried on a plane!

The YOYO2 is designed to let you connect a compatible infant car seat to create a travel system. It includes an adaptor set that is very easy to install. It worked perfectly for our tester using a BeSafe capsule in the i-size. The seat is then clicked into place and you are ready to go.

It is very smooth on paved surfaces, and the suspension provides an excellent and comfortable ride. We did find that it a bit difficult on mud and grass or on uneven pavements (small dips or wonky pavement slabs) and this is why we aren't certain about it being the preferred pram for babies who's heads might be more sensitive to being jolted around.

For parents, the YOYO2 is very simple to operate and comes with plenty of features including a large shopping basket (up to 5kg) as well as a comfortable and adjustable seat cushion, a multi-position reclined backrest, a secure 5-point harness and UV-resistant fabrics which will keep your baby safe and comfy. The canopy features a big pocket on the back, and a carry bag attached to it, along with a peekaboo, rain cover and a UPF 50+ hood.

There is a choice of 2 colour packs. The frame and fabric elements, as well as the hood are machine washable. The YOYO2 also comes with a wide selection of accessories to help you make it appear exactly as you want, plus an additional footmuff and parasol. It can also be transformed into an e-bike by adding the YOYO connect chassis.
