Having twins is a daunting prospect for any parent, but the Push Me Twini is designed to ensure transporting your twosome, at least, is a little bit easier.

The pushchair also comes with two footmuffs, and the large basket underneath comes in really handy. Best of all, it's neither too wide, measuring 76cm across when unfolded, nor overly heavy at just 10kg. And, as it folds into an 80 x 74 x 42cm space, it will get into almost any car boot.

If space really is at a premium, the wheels have a handy quick-release function — and this feature also comes in handy after muddy walks, as you can just pop them straight into a plastic bag. The Push Me Twini is a great buy that squeezes in lots of features at a sensible price.

We liked that the bassinet — is nice and robust, with its own sunshade that locks into position — is included in the price on this travel system. But the seat unit can stay attached to the chassis when you fold it, which is music to our ears.

However, it is heavy, so it might not be one for lugging about too much. The basket space is ample, and the sides come up nice and high to stop anything getting turfed out on the road. We were really impressed with this little ok, big number and think it is great value for money. The stroller has a hidden, built in newborn nest and flaps that you fold out from the foot rest, which folds all the way up at the bottom.

We thought this was a brilliant feature for such a compact pram. The seat unit is nicely padded and feels quite bouncy, and the straps are padded too. But when reclined, the back of the seat is mesh which helps prevent our snoozer from overheating. The spring suspension provides a smooth ride for our passengers too. When this pram arrived we were slightly disbelieving that a pram could fit in such a small box — but fit it did.

Indeed, it can fit in overhead compartments on planes, and under train seats. Pushing the pram is easy, and it zoomed around the shops and over curbs. For such a tiny pram, the basket underneath is also a good size. The sleek grey chassis can accommodate a seat unit or a bassinet, and it feels really smooth to operate. In fact, we were quite jealous of how comfortable our mini tester looked in it. And it looks good too — all smooth curves and glossy metal. Another thing we liked was the foot break, which was nicely sensitive and springy — much smoother than others we battled with.

Another smart thing we thought was clever was the elasticated insect net, which is stored under the footrest. We were blown away by the innovation of this pram. It is a 4-in-1 multi sport pram that allows you to run with it pushing in front of you, or you can remove the front wheel which is easy peasy and then attach it either to a bike or yourself, if you want to run hands free.

Lastly, you can attach skis instead of wheels to the back and ski with it, if the climate cooperates and gives you snow. This is a serious bit of kit, with large thin tires that really let it pick up some speed. The pod that your passenger sits in is cosy, with lots of mesh to make it airy, and the seat pad is nice and soft.

You can fold it with the seat unit attached, but to get it in the car boot we had to remove the tires easy to do with no need for a tool. We loved the generous sun canopy with lift-up flap, and that there are lots of built-in pockets in the hood.

We also found the foot brake a bit sticky. Definitely the easiest to fold pram of the many, many prams we tried over the course of our testing. You can then pick it up and carry it using the padded bumper bar — and away we went to get on with our day. Our mum tester Jennifer Broomfield says : This product feels very lightweight and is easy to manoeuvre. The handle is very comfortable also which is great for long walks.

This elegant pushchair is as easy to fold, as it is on the eye — the handy quick release on the back of the seat will have you packed up and ready to go in the blink of an eye, whether the seat is fixed forward or rear facing. The clever freestanding when folded design also makes it easy to lift and store.

The versatraxTM handles like a dream thanks to the Sweet StrideTM single front swivel wheels, all wheel suspension and one touch brakes. Our mum tester Laura Minns says : The foldability of this pram is excellent! The pushchair is really robust in build and quality- the wheels for example are thick and great for different terrains. So to get a pushchair which is so sturdy and also fold so compactly is a really unique feature.

The easy pull handle to fold the pram is such a great feature and makes getting it in and out the car so easy. It also makes the pram much smaller to store than long, conventional pushchairs. Read our full review of the Joie versatrax here. It has extra cushy padding and an adjustable handlebar, providing ultimate comfort and support for both baby and parents - tall and small. Our mum tester, Holly says: "I would recommend this product to other parents if they are looking for a compact, lightweight, and well-manufactured pram.

It offers a smooth and comfortable ride and is a pram that will 'grow' with your little one. Storing your pushchair away has never been so easy, thanks to the famous one-hand fold. With a 2-year-old in tow, a full boot of shopping, a water bottle, dinosaur toys, the Airo is the perfect companion for my life as it is right now. I am also already envisaging how useful it will be when we go on holiday.

Excited in fact to take it on our family adventures around the UK and, eventually when we can, abroad.

Read our review of the Micralite ProFold. The large rubber wheels are abrasion-resistant, puncture-proof, and provide a good grip on difficult terrain while being lighter than pneumatic wheels.

They work to reduce shocks, provide greater stroller stability and comfort. The large rubber rear wheels can handle high curbs and uneven surfaces. It has an aesthetic zipper that allows you to hide excess material in a folded hood and an automatic lock prevents the stroller from unfolding during transport. Our mum tester Helen Mills-Hurst says: This product is very easy to use.

It was simple to assemble and to collapse for transport, although it is quite large when collapsed. I particularly liked the one pedal brakes, very quick to put on and off. The foot muff means no fussing around with trying to stop a blanket from falling off, and having a cup holder was an unexpected bonus. It is perfect for shopping. But can you really? Put it to the test. Make sure the pushchair fits wherever you need it to. Take very careful measurements — and check them twice!

Some pushchairs are seriously heavy. Try lifting it in and out of your car boot, and consider whether you could carry it up a flight of stairs unaided without risking a hernia. Factor in that a growing toddler is a surprisingly heavy additional weight.

Being able to adjust the straps easily after a sudden growth spurt is immensely useful. The ability to quickly and easily remove all trace of a spilt drink or a leaky nappy is worth paying extra for. Machine washable, removable fabrics are your friend. It even comes with a parent tray, which has storage and a cup holder for your coffee.
