The weight is probably one of the most important factors you should consider when buying a new pushchair for your child. The weight is such an important thing to think about as you will probably spend a lot of your time with your new pushchair, including lifting it on your own, and folding it while also holding your baby. It is therefore most practical to look at some lightweight pushchairs when making a decision about which one to buy.

Think through a typical daily routine for you and your baby and then make a list of all the activities that include using a pushchair. Then use this list when considering features to look for in a pushchair. For example if you often use public transport you will need to lift the pushchair onto trains and buses. If you drive places with a pushchair you will have to lift it in and out of the car regularly.

Generally in every day use you will also encounter stairs, curbs and other obstacles that you have to manoeuvre around or lift a pushchair over. So it will make life much easier if you have a lightweight pushchair.

Look at the weight of all the pushchairs you are considering but don’t forget to add the weight of your child to that when working out what you’ll be pushing around. It’s important to consider the weight of the pushchair for lifting and folding it but also for pushing it with your child in it.

Pushing a pushchair can be hard work, especially over some terrain and long distances. If you do a lot of walking it can get very tiring pushing a heavy pushchair around all the time and a lightweight pushchair would make things easier. You need all the energy you have to look after your baby so there’s no need to waste it pushing a heavy pushchair around all day.

Lightweight pushchairs help many parents on a daily basis but you should consider the weight of a pushchair alongside other features that you might need. Research thoroughly before you buy a pushchair by comparing manufacturers and models to see what they offer, then make a decision based on this information.
