A baby buggy, pushchair, stroller, pram. We give the device used to push little tiny people around a lot of different name. Some are not universal, as I found when I was in Canada, where they thought it was awfully cute that I called it a pram.

The thing is, when you're a first time mum, it is really hard to decide what it is you actually need. First off, what you don't want to get is a stroller. These are sometimes called a pushchair as well. But confusingly, I've also seen prams or buggies called pushchairs too.

A stroller is a mode of transportation suited to much older babies and toddlers. Definitely not for newborns.

Now that we've got that struck off the list, you're basically left with three types of buggy to choose from. Read on to find out what they are, and whether they're any use for you. Start from the beginning as some of the features you'll need to take into consideration are the same for some or all pushchairs.

Halfords sell pushchairs, three wheelers, twin pushchairs and travel systems. I didn't test the code to see if it applied to all accessories, or just to the ones for pushchairs and prams. One accessory I did spot that I'd really have liked to have had when my son was younger was the Sunshine Kids Dry Seat, a waterproof insert that fits into a car seat. Now that would have been handy during the potty training months. But I didn't see anything like it back then.
