Based on the lifestyle you lead and your preferences, a cheap pushchair suitable for all terrains might be a wise investment. The most affordable strollers are lightweight and easy to fold, steer and carry.

A great choice if you're short on space or have a small car boot. Our testers were impressed by how compact pushchair it folded with the frame folding over and the wheels tucking into it to make space.

Our tester was impressed with the Zelia's handling when he took it for a stroll around town. The front wheels of the Zelia can be locked in a forward position or a quick flick of the switch on each allows them to rotate to aid in navigating rough terrain. She tried it on a stony road with bumps and was impressed by how well it performed despite not being specifically designed for off-road use.

She was also happy with the ease of it to fold. It has a lever on the back of the chassis that is easy to pull and reach, which lifts the seat unit off its base.

It comes with a decent-sized car seat and carrycot so your child will not be outgrowing it too soon. It also comes with other features that are useful, such as a large shopping basket and fully adjustable leg rest.

The mothers were amazed by the ease to maneuver and how light the chair felt. The padded seat, large expandable hood and comfortable seat awed them. It was a nice addition that the car was equipped with a cupholder and a rain cover.

The classic umbrella-style fold is simple to operate with just one hand, and comes with an electric brake that can be operated by a foot, which is easy on the feet too. The front swivel wheel can be locked into a fixed position to avoid driving on cobbles and rougher pavements. The MB250 also gives an extremely smooth ride even on bumpy terrain and it's very quiet too.

This is a stylish stroller with some great extras such as a changing bag, insert for newborns, and a footmuff included in the price.

Bugaboo Fox 5

The Bugaboo Fox 5 premium family stroller is well-known for its smooth stroll and easy maneuverability on any terrain. The innovative suspension system blends the front wheel that is spring loaded with an articulated central joint to ensure a comfortable ride for your child. The extra-large, all-terrain puncture-proof wheels are designed to aid you in traversing cobbles, grass and sand.

Like all Bugaboo pushchairs, this one is built with user-friendliness in mind. It boasts a single-piece self-standing chassis that can be used with either the seat or bassinet (you'll require a separate frame for the carrycot). It can be folded using just one hand, so you don't need to stop and fight with heavy levers. A lot of the parts like the seat fabric and sun canopy can be cleaned by machine.

Another thing I love about the Fox 5 is its surprisingly light frame. Even with the bassinet on I can easily lift it up into the car boot without needing to disassemble it. This is a fantastic feature that can save you time and effort. It also eases the burden of carrying the weight of a buggy.

The Fox 5 is available in different colors and fabrics to match any style or preference. The seat can also expand with your child as it can be adjusted to fit any age. This means that you can keep it in use all the way to the age of four, allowing your child to ride in complete comfort.

Baby Jogger City Mini

The City Mini is a full-size stroller that doesn't really make a statement in any way except that it's very lightweight and compact when folded. It also excels across all categories, though it does not score as high as some of the other models because of a poorly placed peek-a-boo window and storage that is somewhat restricted.

It is, however, a solid stroller and one of our top picks for families who require something that can get them through everyday use and occasionally a trip. It has a wide footrest and is well cushioned, which means that the little ones will be able to relax. The seat reclines to a flat position, but we found that it was somewhat difficult to adjust and took two hands. The adjustable calf supports for calf are an attractive feature that allows your child's feet to flex when they're tired.

The City Mini, like many other strollers in our list, has a large canopy that is UV50. Parents are raving about it. The sun shade is designed elegantly and can be pulled all the way down. This is great because it shields your child from the sun, without the need to tuck the shade back in place.

The City Mini can be easily transformed into a double-stroller simply by attaching an add on kit. You can choose any Baby Jogger car-seat and create a travel system right from the beginning. The only issue is that the addition of a second seat alters the appearance and feel of the stroller and some parents may be a little unsure to manage once they are used to it.

The City Mini GT Double Stroller is another alternative to the City Mini. The model is a little more expensive than the single City Mini but it does have additional features, including "forever air" rubber tyres and suspension which makes it suitable for off-road adventures. It has a movable handlebar as well as parking brakes that can be operated by hand, and a more user-friendly design than the regular City Mini.
