What’s the difference between a pushchair and a stroller?

As a parent, you want the best for your little one, and this often begins with choosing between a pushchair or a stroller. While both are designed to support you and your child during your outings, each has unique features. Which one is best for your family? Here, we’ve outlined the differences between a pushchair and a stroller for you.



Pushchair: the all-rounder from birth

A pushchair is ideal for newborns, offering a comfortable, supportive space for your baby to lie flat during those first months. The carrycot ensures your baby lies flat in an ergonomic position, which is essential for proper support. As your little one grows, you can easily switch to a seat.

At Joolz, our pushchairs, like the Joolz Day+, are adjustable and designed to grow with your family. With handy features such as a height-adjustable handlebar, spacious shopping baskets, and a stylish design, our pushchairs are durable, comfortable, and ideal for both long strolls and busy city days.



Stroller: compact and perfect for travel

Once your child is older and can sit up comfortably, a stroller becomes your best friend. Lighter and more compact than a pushchair, a stroller is designed with mobility in mind—perfect for outings and holidays! The Joolz Aer+, for example, folds easily with one hand, making it a great choice for travel.

While a stroller may have simpler features, it still offers comfort and style. With adjustable backrests, ventilation panels, and practical accessories, a stroller is the ideal companion for quick trips and longer journeys alike.

The right choice for your family

Pushchairs and strollers complement each other perfectly. A pushchair provides comfort and versatility from day one, while a stroller is light and practical for later. Many parents start with a pushchair and transition toa stroller as their child grows.

With Joolz, you can, for instance, choose the Joolz Hub² with both a carrycot and a seat. This gives you a compact pushchair that grows with your child from birth. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and flexibility—ideal for parents who live in a busy city like London or are always on the go!
