As hardware goes, the stroller is pushed to its very limits. Given Hong Kong's intense heat, humidity and downpours, challenging terrain and tight spaces, finding a perfect pushchair requires careful consideration.
It's also essential for parents to choose a model that suits their lifestyle. Assessing what's required - alongside child comfort and safety - can help narrow the options.
Sun and rain protection features can include built-in sunshades and rain covers but always check what's included in the price. Extras such as a parasol or sun canopy, bags and other accessories, can often be purchased separately.
Lucy McLennan, marketing manager of Bumps to Babes, says the Quinny Zapp Xtra and Bugaboo Bee+ are good options to protect against Hong Kong's elements.
Both models are multifunction travel systems that can adapt to the peculiarities of Hong Kong. In addition to sun canopy and rain cover, each has forward- and rear-facing seating and recline positions.
Bugaboo's four-wheel maneuverable suspension and small frame make it an ideal urban stroller whose compact frame easily fits through turnstiles and in taxi trunks.
