The Nursery Advisors at Peter Jones, the Sloane Square branch of John Lewis department stores, have launched Buggy Test Drive Consultations designed specifically to help dads fulfill their Top Gear credentials. Geared specifically for dads-to-be, the free, personalised consultations will offer impartial guidance on buying the best buggy for your baby.

The Peter Jones Nursery Advice team will use their expert skills to steer dads-to-be towards the best buggy for them, and also for mum – whether she is strolling through the park or navigating her way round the shops.

The Nursery Advisors will also be on hand to offer baby tutorials - answering bewildered dads-to-be questions on how to get ready for the new arrival.

1. Test-drive your new buggy - try the escalators, check out how easy it is to steer around corners and make sure it’s comfortable to push.
3. If you’re a city slicker opt for a lightweight, easy-to-fold pram which won’t cause you any hassle on the tube and will be easy to get onto buses and into your flat. For those in the country, go for a three wheeler, or pushchair with good suspension to help you through the country lanes.
5. Don’t be swayed by gadgets and gizmos. Get what’s right for you and your baby – remember to take measurements of your stair and hallway width, as well as the size of the boot of your car.
6. Decide if you want a pram, pushchair, buggy or stroller as they all have different functions and most double up these days and will convert from a pram to a pushchair.
8. For those families always on the go a travel system can be the best option which will transform from pushchair to car seat in seconds and will collapse easily to fit in your car.
