Top Tips for Finding a Great Pushchair

Whether you’re having your first, third or fifth child, one of the most important purchases you’ll make before the birth will be the pushchair. Factors such as where you live, how many young children you have and how you spend your time all impact on the style you choose – Jane pushchairs come in all shapes and sizes, and every model offers practicality and comfort for both baby and parents. However, finding the one that’s right for you can be tricky. That’s why we’ve written a handy guide full of helpful tips, which will help you decide which design will slot into your life perfectly.

Think about where you live

Where you live is probably one of the biggest factors in deciding what style of pushchair you go for; small houses with minimal storage and narrow hallways won’t be able to accommodate large frames and carrycots, while anyone who lives in a flat with no lifts won’t relish the idea of dragging a huge pushchair up three flights of stairs. When shopping, look at the weight and size specifications to find out which pushchair works out to be the lightest and smallest; the Jane Rider is a great example - with a unique design that means the wheels retract by an extra 30%, and a one handed folding system, this is the pushchair style for you if space is an issue. 

Think about your lifestyle

Whether you’re a keen jogger, someone who loves nature and the outdoors, or a city-dweller who enjoys a trip round the shops followed by lunch, you’re going to want a pushchair that fits in with your lifestyle. The Jane Trider is the perfect all-round pushchair; the three puncture proof all-terrain wheels make it ideal for adventures in the woods, the seat position keeps your child away from traffic fumes, and the seat height cleverly adjusts to turn the pushchair into a high chair. There are a great range of Jane pushchair accessories as well; if you spend a lot of time outdoors, make sure you invest in a really robust raincover and a cosy footmuff for the seat unit in the winter. 

Consider any other children

If you already have other children, it’s a good idea to think about whether they’re going to need a place in the pushchair as well; times have moved on from the traditional, uncomfortable double stroller, and now clever designs mean that pushing two children can be as easy as pushing one. Choose from those that seat children side-by-side, in front and behind, or one on top and one underneath – the most important thing is to try them out first and make sure you can handle the weight. The best pushchairs for multiple children are those that can be adapted to a single-seat buggy once the time comes, and those that cater for children of both different ages and the same age. The Jane Twone manages to tick both of these boxes, and also features a range of pushchair accessories designed to keep all of your children safe, warm and dry.

Choosing The Right Jane Pushchair: A Helpful Guide

Aside from a cot, a pram or pushchair is likely to be one of the most important purchases you make once you find out your family is going to be expanding. As well as deliberating on colour and size, you’ll probably find yourself asking questions such as, “will it fit in the boot of our small car?” and, “how easy will it be to manoeuvre on public transport?” If you’ve opted for a Jane pushchair, but aren’t quite sure which one is going to suit your lifestyle the most, then don’t worry – we’ve produced a handy guide that should help you decide which pushchair is right for you.

For the city loving family

If you live in a big city and spend a lot of time battling through public transport and zipping from one place to another, the Jane Trider is, without a doubt, the pushchair for you. The minimalist style chassis and front swivel wheels make weaving in and out of people a breeze, while the Pro-Fix system allows the car seat to be attached and removed using just one hand – ideal for those times when you find yourself squeezing onto a packed bus. The real standout feature of the Trider, however, is the seat height – not only has it been placed in an ideal position to allow it to double as a highchair, but it’s also far enough away from the ground to keep your child away from pollution. Of all the Jane pushchairs, the Trider is the one that’s simply made for city life.

For the adventure loving family
Whether you’re into wooded walks or beachside living, if you’re a family of outdoors lovers, you’re going to want a pushchair that can keep up with you; the Jane Slalom Pro, with its all-terrain chassis, will almost certainly tick every box. Featuring wheels equipped with shock-absorbing pneumatic tyres, an adjustable rear suspension and lockable front wheels, this pushchair will keep your child safe and comfortable whether you’re hiking through the snow or strolling along the sand.

For the larger family

If you’re about to add to your family, and you’re looking for a pushchair that can accommodate more than one child, look no further than the Jane Twone. This tandem pushchair has an incredibly flexible design, meaning that you can convert it from a single to a double, single-handedly, in seconds - so no fiddling with tricky catches and bolts, just plain and simple swapping. The best feature of the Twone, however, is that you can mix and match with seat units; whether you’ve got newborn twins, babies of different ages, or a toddler and a newborn, this Jane pushchair has the ability to accommodate everyone, and will grow as your family does.


For the practical family
Whether you’re looking for a great value pushchair, or one that will take your child through from birth to toddlerhood, the Jane Muum could be just what you’re looking for. Featuring a reversible seat unit, you can begin your journey with your baby facing you for added security and bonding, and then, once they’re a little older, turn them around to face the wonders of the world. Versatile, light and compact, the Muum combines style with practicality, and has the added bonus of an extra-large seat unit, meaning your child will be as comfortable inside when they’re a toddler as they were when they were newborn.


For the family with limited space

Whether you’re living in a small house or apartment, or if your car has a less-than-generous boot space, finding a pushchair that is going to fit in with your lifestyle can be a problem. All Jane pushchairs are equipped with simple folding techniques and minimal chassis designs, but the Jane Rider is one of the most compact pushchairs on the market. The top of the range design includes a one-handed folding system, which causes the rear wheels to retract and reduce the folded size by a huge 30% - making it ideal for those tight corners at home, or squeezing into the boot of your car. Not compromising on quality, Jane Pushchairs have also armed the Rider with a reversible seat unit, adjustable rear suspension and a shock absorber that can be altered as your child’s weight changes.
