The brake
should be comfortably
positioned and easy to
operate, without risk of
applying it by accident
or scuffing your shoes.
Check that it’s reliable
and easy – although
not too easy –
torelease.hood
This protects
your baby from sun
and wind. Check how far
it extends, especially when
the seat is reclined, and
that it isn’t noisy to
adjust if your baby
is sleeping.S E AT
RECLINE
The recommended
sleeping position for babies
is flat on their back, so a seat
that reclines is a must for naps
on the go. Make sure you can
adjust it easily without
waking your baby.CARRYCOT
If you choose a
double pushchair with a
carrycot attachment, keep
in mind that your baby will
outgrow it by the time she’s six
months old. Check how bulky it
is to store – some are cleverly
designed to convert to an
upright pushchair
seat.FABRIC
The double
pushchair should be
easy to wipe clean since
it will have to cope with
everything from milk to
a toddler’s sticky
snacks.
WHEELS
All-terrain
wheels make for easy
manoeuvrability on muddy
walks. Smaller, solid wheels
make light work of city pavements
and shiny shop floors. If you’re
likely to switch between
different types of terrain, go
for lockable, swivel
wheels.Familidoo Air,
