The summer holidays are around the corner, and that means six weeks of freedom...
Freedom to explore the great outdoors that is, which is exactly what the summer holidays should be all about! It's the best time of the year to enjoy everything the world around us has to offer thanks to the warm and sunny weather - well, fingers crossed!
So, we want to share some of our product-inspired ideas for getting your family out and about during the summer holidays...
All-terrain pushchairs
Your pushchair helps you explore the great outdoors with a little one in tow. However, for the more active adventurers, a robust, all-terrain model will be your best friend compared with a city-built stroller. With large wheels, all-wheel suspension and big baskets, all terrain strolling will make life on the move a breeze, and ensure you're ready to take on any summer strolls or cruises through the countryside!
We house a great range of all-terrain pushchairs, with some of our favourites from Silver Cross, Thule, and CYBEX. Here are a couple of great strollers we recommend for an active summer and beyond...
Mountain Buggy Swift
The Mountain Buggy Swift Pushchair is the perfect size for city adventures and walks in the park or long strolls on the beach. It has an ultra compact fold so is easy to squeeze into your boot on a family weekend getaway.
