Frequently Asked Questions | Britax Römer

Think about your child's needs

We all know that comfort and a sense of security are vital for a young child. So think about not just their age, but their specific needs – do they want to be able to see you while they travel? Will they spend a lot of time sleeping in the carrycot? There are pushchairs to suit every set of needs.

Think about your lifestyle

Do you have a small car boot, or very little storage at home? Will you walk a lot on tough terrain? Do you plan on building your pushchair into your fitness regime? Will you be using public transport? These kind of questions can help you identify not just which pushchair may be right for you, but which accessories may make all the difference.

Understand the kind of features that may be important to you

It may seem like there’s an endless maze of options out there – but understanding the different features may help you to prioritise what’s important for you

Do you need to connect an infant carrier or carrycot to the pushchair chassis? All our Britax Römer pushchairs have the suitable infant carrier adapters included that allow you a hassel free connection between pushchair and infant carrier.

Do you need a seat that can face both forward and rearward? Look out for which pushchairs feature reversible seat units so that smaller babies can maintain eye contact with you, and growing children can look out at the world

Are you particularly small or tall? All of our pushchairs feature soft-grip handles, but look out for the handles that are also height adjustable

What recline options do you need? Small babies benefit from lying flat to help their spine and respiratory system develop healthily. But growing babies enjoy the stimulation of looking out at their parents and their world. We offer a range of adjustable reclines to keep babies and young children comfortable and happy

What wheels will best suit where and how you live? Front wheels can be locked (for stability on uneven ground) or allowed to swivel (for easier cornering.) Large wheels cope well on sand, mud or snow, while smaller wheels enable a more compact fold. Quick-release wheels are perfect when you have limited storage or a small car boot. We have options to suit every need.

Will you be out and about in weather extremes? We offer a range of hoods with extendable visors for protection from sun, rain, wind and more.

Do you live in a country where it gets dark very early in winter? Some of our models have been designed with northern climates in mind – with 3M ScotchliteTM reflective strips for visibility in lowlight conditions.

Is storage important to you? Will you be doing extensive shopping by foot? Are you planning regular family adventures equipped with all the paraphernalia they involve? If so, then consider the type and size of storage offered across our range.

Explore your four main options

The all-in-one travel system Suitable from birth until approximately 4 years, all-in-ones are a flexible system made up of a chassis, rearward and forward facing seat, carrycot and infant carrier adapters. They allow a small child to lie flat or travel in their infant carrier, a growing child to sit facing their parent and a toddler to sit facing the world – all in the ultimate comfort.

The lightweight pushchair Lightweight pushchairs are designed with the needs of urban families or growing children in mind. Though still suitable from birth (with an optional carrycot), they are designed to carry children until 15kg or 4 years. They are often available in 3- or 4-wheel models and offer a streamlined, flexible package.

The double Double pushchairs are designed to accommodate the needs of growing families, side-by-side for maximum comfort for children of different ages, or even for twins. Some doubles even have a removable seat so they can be used as a single when only one child needs to be transported.
