Pros and cons

Pros

  • The range covers pram, full size and compact, so pram, full size, compact, travel system, double and jogging buyers are all served.
  • Car seats run to infant, convertible and booster with standards r129 and r44, an Isofix latch and a load leg or rebound bar, so a newborn to booster set can be bought together.
  • Reference models include Noordi Sole V3, Noordi Fjordi V2, Jane Trider, Jane Newel, which shows the floor is not tied to a single frame design.
  • Delivery covers GB and IE from a company based in the United Kingdom, so buyers in both markets avoid a freight forwarder.

Cons

  • Only 8 brands are stocked, against a site median of 60 and an upper quartile of 87.
  • The registry is not offered, so gift lists and group buying have to run somewhere else.
  • Second hand frames are not sold, so a shopper hunting a discount has nothing here.
  • Stroller entry prices sit at €173.17 against a site median of €87.70, and the upper quartile runs to €350.78.

Who it suits

  • Parents in GB and IE buying a pram, a travel system and car seats in a single order.
  • Shoppers who want a named British company behind the sale, since the business trades as Johnston Prams & Buggies Ltd.
  • Buyers who want room to change their mind, with a 30 day money back window and a 1 to 3 year product guarantee.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone set on a dedicated travel stroller, since Kids2Shop lists full size, compact and travel and travel sizes sit alongside the other formats there.
  • Buyers shopping only a double frame, since Harppa Baby covers double and keeps the shortlist short.
  • Anyone who needs a gift registry, as the registry is not offered here and the list has to be run elsewhere.

Who runs it

Johnston Prams trades as Johnston Prams & Buggies Ltd, a company based in the United Kingdom, and it has been running since 1936. That date places the name alongside the long established British pram makers rather than the newer online resellers, and it is the main reason the shelves run as deep as they do across prams, travel systems, doubles and car seats. On a shop selling so many labels, support carries a lot of weight, and here it runs on email, phone and help centre. A sizing or fit question can be put to a person by phone, sent in by email, or looked up in the help centre without waiting in a queue. The registered name and the trading name also sit close together, which matters when a returns claim or a warranty case has to name a legal entity rather than a shopfront. Buyers who check the paperwork before they pay will find the details easy to trace.

Frequently asked questions

What does delivery cost and is free shipping offered?+

Orders over £100 ship free, and anything below that carries a shipping fee of £4.95. Products are sold at a listed price for the item rather than as a plan, so the amount at checkout is the amount that applies later. A pram plus a car seat usually clears the free delivery threshold in a single order.

How long do I have to change my mind?+

There is a 30 day money back window on returns, which is the time allowed to send a pram or car seat back. The claim sits with Johnston Prams & Buggies Ltd, a company based in the United Kingdom, so a return names a real entity. That matters most on the larger frames, where a second guess is common.

Which countries do you deliver to?+

Delivery runs to GB and IE, and the company is based in the United Kingdom, so stock and the returns address sit in the same place. Buyers in GB and IE order on the same terms, including the £4.95 fee on smaller baskets. Anyone outside those markets should check their address before committing to a large frame.

Which stroller types and models are sold?+

The range covers pram, full size and compact, and reference models include Noordi Sole V3, Noordi Fjordi V2, Jane Trider, Jane Newel. Carrycot suitability is listed as carrycot for the newborn stage, so a first basket can hold a lie flat set and later be swapped for a compact frame. Doubles and jogging frames are in the mix for families who need them.

What car seats are stocked and which standards apply?+

Seat types run to infant, convertible and booster, covering infant, convertible, booster and extended rear facing shells. Standards listed are r129 and r44, and the seats take a child up to 100-150cm or 36 kg depending on the model. An Isofix latch, a load leg or rebound bar, and rotating seats all sit within the range.

How long is the guarantee on a pram or seat?+

The product guarantee runs 1 to 3 years depending on the model, and it is the frame and mechanism that matter most. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a part or a claim can go to the same team that handled the sale. The business has traded since 1936, which is a long time to keep spares moving.

Is there price match, loyalty or a gift registry?+

Price match is offered, so a lower price found elsewhere can be raised with the team, and a loyalty scheme is in place for repeat buyers. Neither changes the price on its own: the match has to be raised and rewards build over later orders. A gift registry is not offered, so baby lists are not hosted here.

How do I get help before buying?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a sizing or fit question can go by phone, by email or through the help centre. With 8 brands on the floor, a question about which car seat fits an existing car is easier put to a person than read off a chart. The same channels handle questions after purchase.
