5 Best Single Pushchairs
It's worth investing into an infant stroller that you love using. It should also be a good fit for your lifestyle and the environment.
Find a pram that can be converted from a lie-flat 'pramette' to pushchair (suitable from birth) and then to a double or twin pushchairs as your family expands. It should be easy to put together and move.
Cosatto Woosh XL
This is a small from birth pushchair with serious baby benefits. The robust, yet light 7kg chassis can carry up to 25kg. This means even larger toddlers can use the pushchair for longer. It is forward-facing and has a reclining seat. It has an UPF100+ hood that will protect you from the sun. It is very easy to open, simply lift the safety locks on each side and pull it open. You can then close it by pressing down on the button at the top of the handlebar. Then, it folds down into a small compact bundle that is a storage superstar. It's also light and easy to move.
This stroller comes with a travel system capability and is compatible with Cosatto's Dock 0+ car seat and Woosh XL carrycot. It is a very simple to convert into a full travel system by attaching the appropriate adaptors to each of these items. This will permit your child to sit in the pushchair or car seat and enjoy a seamless journey. This will reduce the amount and frequency of vehicle pick-ups and wake-ups, which means less disturbance to your child's sleep routines.
The Woosh XL has some lovely features that make it stand out from other models. It features an front wheel that can be locked into place, making it easier to maneuver. It also has a leatherette-covered handlebar and a foldable basket. It is adorned with a variety of other features, including baby-friendly designs with heat-branded leatherette and contrast-curved seams as well as nooks and crannies to explore.
The main disadvantage is that it's not suitable for older children because the seat and harness are both so small. Our tester tried it with her 3-year-old son and discovered that the straps on her shoulder didn't fit his size. It was a shame as it could have been a fantastic option for the child. It's still a gorgeous pushchair, though, and we like its design and the fact that it can accommodate an infant car seat and a carrycot. It also comes with a 4-year warranty.

It worked perfectly for our tester using a BeSafe capsule in the i-size. Simply click the seat into place on the frame and you're good to go.
It is very smooth on pavements and the suspension provides a wonderful and cushioned ride for the baby. We did find that it struggled a bit on mud and grass or on uneven pavements (small dips or wonky pavement slabs) and this is what makes us less convinced to make this the ideal pram for young babies whose heads are more prone to being bounced around.
For parents, the YOYO2 is extremely easy to maneuver and comes with plenty of features including a large shopping basket (up to 5kg) as well as a comfy and adjustable seat cushion, a multi-position reclining backrest, a secure 5-point harness as well as UV-resistant fabrics which keep baby nice and comfy.
