To use a pushchair in the first six months of your baby's life, you'll need the seat to lie completely flat, as recommended by the NHS. A lie-flat pram will support your baby's spine and help to keep their airwaves open. The term buggy board officially refers to the Lascal Buggy Board, which was the very first board manufactured to be attached to a buggy. Most pushchair brands offer their own buggy board but you can also choose from a wide range of universal buggy boards designed to fit most types of pram. Suitable from: Birth to 22kg (around four years) | Weight: 7.6kg | Folded dimensions: 45 x 33 x 60cm | World-facing: Yes | Parent-facing: Yes, but only with car seat or carrycot | Car seat compatible: Yes | Wheels: Rubber coated wheels | Carrycot included? No What we like

Although ideal for city life and travel, as the name suggests, the BabyJogger City Tour 2 is actually a great option for any family. Our tester Liz says, “It’s absolutely brilliant in every way, except it's too big to store easily in the car as the wheels have to come off. If space isn't an issue for you (for example, if you can store it in a garage), it's perfect.” Maximum child’s weight: Up to 20kg as a stroller board, up to 50kg as a scooter | Suitable for: Most prams via universal connectors What we love I love our Babyzen YOYO. I'm petite and it's the only one I've tried that is light and compact and easy enough to put up and down while also holding a baby (now toddler). We have stairs to leave the flat then have to fold it to get onto busy public transport - anything bulkier or heavier and that wouldn't be manageable alone, whereas the YOYO can go over my shoulder” - recommended by Mumsnet user, LeeMiller It’s good to be prepared in advance but also consider the storage space that you have available and take time to choose the right pram for your lifestyle.The seats lie flat so can be used from birth but you can also buy a newborn carrycot or a cocoon if you want to provide extra support. You can also add up to two car seats to the frame. The seat material is cosy and durable, providing plenty of support for young children. It features a secure five-point harness.

I love our Oyster 3. Easy to fold. Folds with pram attached which for me is a bonus. Doesn't take up the whole boot (I have a Kia Sportage so admittedly a big boot but it takes up about half the space) has a lay-flat seat. Light and easy to push. Would highly recommend” - recommended by Mumsnet user, Whatelsecouldibecalled Our verdict While the Dragonfly is super comfy for toddlers, with harness straps that slide up and down for ease, saving the need for any rethreading, we think this pushchair performs especially well with newborns.

4. Best compact buggy board: Lascal BuggyBoard Mini

It is important that any child using the BuggyBoard has enough space to stand comfortably. However, due to the number of combinations possible across pushchair brands (regarding positioning of carrycots, whether seats are forward/rear facing, the ability of the pushchair handle to slide out, accessories you may have attached etc.) we are unable to illustrate everything. Only you can recognise if your child has enough space to stand comfortably. The Mountain Buggy Freerider Stroller Board is made to fit the rear axle of all Mountain Buggy and Phil & Teds prams. But it can also fit the Baby Jogger City Mini, Britax Strider Plus, Bugaboo Cameleon and Bob Revolution with the use of an additional connector. Well-engineered to provide a cocoon-like environment for your baby, the Egg2 is a luxurious and popular choice with parents.
