Finding your perfect stroller

What to look for when choosing your stroller

Categories   Pregnancy

Whether you’re looking for a lightweight travel stroller or a more heavy-duty option for suburban living, here’s our guide to help you find the perfect one for your family.

Key factors to consider

1. Your lifestyle

Start by thinking about how and where you’ll be using the stroller. If you live in a rural or suburban area, a larger stroller might be the best option for activities like dog walks and countryside outings. On the other hand, if you’re in the city and rely on public transport, a lightweight, compact stroller would be ideal. Look for one that’s easy to fold and carry when not in use to make your daily commute easier.

Here are a few questions to help identify your lifestyle and choose the right stroller for you:

  • Where do you usually visit throughout the week?
  • Will you be taking the stroller with you when you travel?
  • Do you have enough space to store it at home or in your car?

2. Stroller size and weight

Make sure the stroller fits comfortably in your designated space, whether you're storing it at home or folding it up into your car boot. Weight is another important factor to consider, especially if you plan on travelling or using public transport. It’s likely that you’ll need to fold and carry your stroller frequently, so it’s essential to test its weight beforehand to ensure you can easily transport it without strain.

3. Car seat compatibility

If you’ll be taking your little one from car to stroller, look for a model with car seat compatibility. This allows you to securely attach the car seat to the stroller, making it easier to move your baby without disturbing nap time whilst you're out and about.

Jet 5

Your perfect travel companion

From departure to arrival, Jet 5 has everything you need for your family holiday – a lie-flat seat suitable from birth to 4 years, self-standing pull-along fold, extendable UPF50+ sun hood and flip-flop friendly brake.

For easy travel, Jet 5 is cabin-approved and can be pushed right up to the plane door to take on board. Once folded, it fits into the included protective travel cover and can be conveniently pulled along like a suitcase, then stored in the overhead locker.

On sunny days, Jet 5 features an extendable UPF50+ hood with an airflow mesh panel to keep your child cool and comfortable on holiday. When the seat is reclined and the hood is extended, you’ll have the perfect cocooned spot for nap time.

Jet 5 is also car seat compatible for added convenience when you’re on the go. Simply attach your Silver Cross baby car seat, or a car seat from another brand, using the stroller adaptors and you’re good to go.
