2. Baby's comfortability:
  A. weather covers included: including weather-proof cover, rain cover, fitted apron, parasol, insect net, footmuff
  B.good suspension: large wheeled chassis offers better suspension, four wheels suspension
  C.Multi-position recline seat: Fully reclining---ew babies need the back support that only fully reclining pushchairs can give. Check the pushchair’s back reclines to more than 150°.
  D.seat facing inward/outward: babies can see mums when facing inward
  E.pneumatic rear tyres (pro:less bumpy, con:puncture pro, might need tyre repair kit always)
  F.bumper bar
  G.padded seat

  I.carry cot available: Babies should sleep on a firm horizontal base, so if you’re expecting to use the pushchair for lengthy daytime naps, or whole afternoons in the park, consider one with a carry cot and mattress.
  J.Good back support
  K.Good side protection

3. Parents' comfortability
        A. handles: height adjustable, with bar, hand break on handle bar
        B. wheels: fixed/swivel, fixed (for bumpy roads) /lockable swivel wheels (for manoeuvrability), The number of wheels: You shouldn't use a three-wheeler pushchair over rough ground until your baby is about six months old – babies’ necks aren’t strong enough to take the strain of a bouncing head.
        C. all covers washable, removable
        D. wheels removable, lockable
        E. shopping basket/tray, cup holder available and its size
        F. changing bag available and its size
        G. Handle grip: Hard plastic grips can be uncomfortable after a time; look for pushchairs with softer rubber or foam grips and handles with soft, rounded edges that are angled to support a natural wrist position. Some handle bars can be adjusted higher or lower to give you a more comfortable grip.
        H.Uninterrupted stride: Check you’re able to walk with the pushchair using your normal stride, and that you don't scrape your shin on a rear axle, brake bar, shopping basket or other accessories.
                I.A good braking system(Brake pedals): Check you find the pushchair's brake easy to apply, and that there’s a good grip on foot pedals, so you won't risk ripping off your toenails if you tend to wear open-toed shoes.
                J. Manoeuvring pushchairs: When putting pushchairs through their paces, check how easy you find them to move in a tight space, do a complete about-face, tip backwards to mount kerbs and change direction abruptly.

4 .Transportability

                F. tyres: puncture proof, or  tyre pump included

5. Others
                A. the price
                B. check all included wares and those not included and sold separately

My choice is Mamas & Papas Urbo new version: it is light, compact, easy manoeuvrable. It has face inwarding full reclined seat.It almost ticked all the boxes in the list above except tyres. Its tyres are not suitable for very bumpy roads, like country side roads,because it is designed for urban life. That is why it is called Urbo.
