Choosing your pushchair
A good time to start loking at the different options is around 5 months into pregnancy. You can reserve a pushchair through our Nursery Plan service if you prefer, ready for collection just before the birth of your baby. Check in store for range details.

Before buying, think about your lifestyle and your baby or child's needs.

  • If you do a lot of working and / or live in the country, a sturdy pushchair, 3 wheeler or carrycot may be required
  • If you frequently use public transport, a lightweight easy to fold pushchair will be ideal
  • A carrycot enables the baby to lie flat and face towards parents
  • Check the size of your car boot - would the pushchair you are considering fit in with room to spare for shopping?
