Choosing a Stroller in India: Kerbs, Boots and Real Streets

Small hard wheels struggle on uneven pavements. Larger wheels with some suspension handle Indian streets far better, at the cost of weight.

Fold and unfold it in the shop, one-handed if you can. Then measure your car boot before you buy — this is the most common regret.

Newborns need a near-flat recline. A deep, extendable canopy is worth more here than most add-ons.

A lighter frame is easier on stairs and lifts. A usable basket underneath saves you carrying bags on the handles, which can tip the stroller.
