The best dolls' prams and pushchairs: realistic strollers and classic wooden prams

A great all-rounder with an adjustable design suitable for children aged four to eight years, the Daisy Chain Connect 5 in 1 Dolls Pram comes well-rated amongst Mumsnet users and online reviewers.

With a beautiful classic pink design including silver trim detailing, this convertible pram can be switched between a forward or rear-facing pushchair or even be completely removed from the frame to create a portable carrycot. Little ones will love the retractable hood and the large shopping basket underneath the seat, allowing them to stash their favourite toys or snacks for their adventures outside the home.

While it doesnt come cheap, we love how the Daisy Chain 5 in 1 Dolls Pram grows with your child, with an adjustable handlebar height of between 46 and 85cm. Thanks to its folding design, it is also quick and convenient to stash away when not in use.

Why stop at just a pram when you can have a whole travel system for your doll? The Giggle Quad set from Cosatto comes with a chassis and carrycot that can convert into a pushchair seat unit, as well as a car seat that can also clip directly onto the chassis.

We love how versatile this set is, with so many options for playing and taking dolls of up to 60cm out and about to the park or the shops. The added extras like a matching backpack also add to the fun as well as the value that you get for the higher price point.

Dolls' prams dont really get more stylish than this traditional wooden offering from Moover. We love the clean, classic look of the white model but you can also get it in vibrant red, navy blue, light blue, and natural wood. Solid and sturdy its perfect for younger children and will help new walkers develop their motor skills.

Its not adjustable and cant fold down for storage but its pretty compact design means you can still fit it easily in most homes. The pram comes fully assembled and ready to use straight out of the box, with shock-absorbing rubber wheels and a sweetheart cut-out window to peek through the hood at sleeping dollies. You can take this pram out and about with you, but it is better suited for indoor use and is the perfect first pram for little ones to take care of their dolls at home.
