CHOICE Expert Rating

What is the CHOICE Expert Rating?

CHOICE Expert Rating

This is the product's overall performance score, based on key tests conducted by our industry experts in the CHOICE labs.

Good points

• Adjustable seat recline.
• Reversible seat direction.
• Adjustable handle height.
• Attachment points for an extra seat.

Bad points

• Serious safety failure: A child's head can go over the head end of the seat, but the head barrier stops the child from falling any further.
• Serious safety failure: When the rear fabric of the canopy (which serves as the head barrier) is removed, the gap created could trap a child's head.
• Minor safety failure: A number of buckles and adjusters can be removed from the straps, rendering the harness insecure.
• Minor safety failure: The harness does not meet all the requirements for securing the child.
• Very minor safety failure: Warning labels are not properly displayed.
• No front bar or tray
• The canopy detaches quite easily from its attachment to the side of the seat.
• Bulky, and feels very heavy when folded.
• Fiddly to adjust the harness.

We recommend models with a CHOICE Expert Rating of 70% or more, and that meet all safety requirements.

No
CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score combines performance (70%) and ease of use (30%). Our test is based on the voluntary Australian standard, AS/NZS 2008:2013 which goes beyond mandatory requirements. Recommended strollers meet all safety requirements. Some models in the 60–69% range are worth considering if they meet all key safety requirements but fail some minor points (such as finger entrapment hazards). Models we don't recommend have at least one serious safety failure.

Our performance score is based on selected tests to the Australian Standard, AS/NZS 2088, and looks at stability and harness safety as well as mandatory aspects.

Overall ease of use score View more details.

We rate seat recline functions, using the harness, loading and unloading the basket, using the brakes and manoeuvring. We fold and unfold the strollers, push them over rough terrain, up and down stairs and through doorways, and see how well they fit into a car boot. Overall ease of use is an average of all the scores.

60%
Passed key safety tests View more details.

Based on the Australian standard for strollers, AS/NZS 2088:2013. We check if the harness straps are safe; the child is securely restrained; folding mechanisms are safe and secure; and there are no possible entrapment points for heads, fingers or limbs. We also test the stability of the stroller and that the brakes work well.

No
Passed durability tests View more details.

Durability tests are based on Australian standards. All the strollers are attached to a machine that continuously simulates the action of mounting a kerb. New brands are placed on our 'rolling road' rig for 64 hours at a speed of 5km/h. These tests show whether anything breaks, falls off or stops working properly after regular use.

Yes
Year tested View more details.

We continually test strollers and add results to our database. We retest popular models after some years to make sure they're still safe, or to check if manufacturers have made improvements.
