Cheap Pushchairs
There are many aspects to consider when shopping for the perfect pushchair. What's suitable for your outdoor lifestyle may not work for urban living and a stroller that glides effortlessly across shiny floors may struggle on rough and muddy terrain.
If you're planning baby number two, an infant travel system that can be expanded to a twin pushchair is ideal. These are designed to grow with your bambino and are generally used from birth until six months.

The YOYO 2 model, which retails at PS399 and includes the chassis and the 6+ color pack. Add the bassinet for newborns (sold separately), and you will be spending about PS800 on a complete travel set-up. It's like other 'urban pushchairs like the Bugaboo Bee 6 Bugaboo Bee 6
YOYO 2 folds down to 52 x 44 x 18, or 20 173 x 7.1 in. It is compatible with the baggage allowances for cabins established by most airlines. It is also one of the few double strollers that can be used from birth, using either the bassinet for newborns and/or the 0+ or newborn fabric pack.
It has small wheels that are ideal for grass and pavements but it is able to be able to handle bumpier terrain, although adventurous families might want to look at something with all-terrain tires. It also has a neat trick - the handle bar can be hidden away, so you can take your YOYO 2 to an open table in a restaurant, and then sit down.
The YOYO 2 is simple to move around, and has one of the smallest turning ratios in stroller land. However, it does require two hands to fold and unfold. It is not able to be pulled by its wheels when folded, similar to other umbrella pushchairs.

If you're looking for an entire travel system, the My Babiie is the perfect choice. It is designed to be used starting at birth and includes the car seat, carrycot and pushchair seat all in one. It's a good choice for newborns and toddlers thanks to its i-Size compatibility and large car seat base. Plus, the seat is fully reclinable and will help your toddler or baby to snooze on the go.

It's also compact, fitting into many small vehicles. It comes with a variety of accessories like a changing bag, rain cover and cup holder.
My Babiie has a good reputation for their fashionable products, that have been created in collaboration with famous mothers. The Belgravia Rose Gold and Black travel system is a great example, as it was designed by Christina Milian. Even if celebrity alliances aren't your style, this is an all-rounder that comes with many features to keep your family members happy.
This My Babiie MB500 i-Size Spin car seat is a top-rated product, which has been tested to the highest standards. It is suitable for infants who are born up to 4 years old. ISOFIX connectors can be used to attach it to the chassis. It's also compatible with the My Babiie Explorer MB52 stroller.

Bugaboo Bee
The Bugaboo Bee is a stylish, practical, and affordable pushchair. It's been around since 2007 and has recently undergone a relaunch with the new Bee 6. The major differences between earlier models are the height-adjustable backrest, the larger sun canopy and the circular joint system that allows you to move your seat away or towards from you.
The Bee 6 is also narrower which allows you to squeeze onto public transport and navigate those tricky city streets. Its iconic yellow color will also make it easier for people to see you on the street and for Deliveroo's cyclists see you while they whiz down your street.
It's a joy to drive too with a smooth steering and a smooth suspension. I also loved the large and deep basket which is ideal for shopping trips and is easily accessible whether the seat is facing you or away.
The Bee's strength and durability is another aspect that impressed me. The handle bar is a joy to hold, and the pushchair just oozes quality. It's clear that this model was designed to last for a long time.
Of course, none of this comes cheap. The Bee costs PS1000 at retail price but it's also much less than other high-end strollers. Considering its capabilities and build quality, I think it's definitely worth the price. Especially for those who value style as well as function.
Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double
The Baby Jogger Urban Glide 2 Double is a jogger that has stadium-style seating for two children. It is compatible with a range of brands and will fit one car seat. It is more expensive than the other strollers on this list, however it is awarded a high score for quality and has a large storage basket. It has an adjustable bumper that can be used to store toys or an area to rest.
The stroller is sleek and easy to push. Its three enormous wheels have air-filled tires that make jogging or navigating rough terrain an easy task. It's also extremely lightweight and features a great ergonomic handlebar, a foot brake, and a hand brake that can be pushed or squeezed. The only disadvantages of this bike is that it does not recline and the canopy does not cover the entire seat.
Another plus for this stroller is it can be converted to a lightweight pram for newborns by incorporating a bassinet. It comes with a huge shopping basket that is ideal for grabbing groceries while you are returning home. It is extremely sturdy and can be used from the start as the running walking.
