Do I need a stroller?
Short answer: It depends on your plans. A stroller is a lightweight, compact pushchair, often chosen for travel and public transport, used usually for older babies and toddlers. Check the minimum age and recline.
Think about your space, budget and how long you will use it.
- Check the folded size and whether it is cabin-friendly, if you need that.
- Check the recline and minimum age.
What the guidance says
- It is fine for a baby to fall asleep in a car seat while you travel, but take them out as soon as you arrive.
