Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair is also referred to as a stroller, buggy or babiie pram. It's like the Swiss Army knife of baby transport. These baby-chariots are able to handle any terrain, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will offer comfort and safety to your baby, convenience to you, and the chance for you both to bond and explore together. Find out what to consider when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with the ease to fold it. A true standout is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy, meaning that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, meaning you don't need to worry about your child slipping out.

Some of the really compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they can fit into the boot of your car, so they're ideal for frequent traveller or have a tiny car boot. Others are day-to-day buggies that take up a smaller amount of space than the typical pushchair but still come with decent features such as a great recline and light-weight wheels. They are typically light enough to be carried with hand, so Grandma or Grandad can use them if necessary.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, as some come with a lie-flat seats or carrycot option. They may also be compatible with travel systems which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame with just a click.

While they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggy, the majority of compact pushchairs take up very little space when they're folded with the seat on which is why they're ideal for those short on storage space at their home or live in an apartment. They're also light and usually come with an umbrella to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair in this category, can be folded with one hand by pressing the button. It is great to travel with because it's easy to fold. It's also incredibly light, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can rotate to switch between parent-facing and world-facing, while the hood can be extended for extra protection and protection from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller changes shape to meet the demands of families that are growing. It can start as a single stroller, change into a double stroller for children and even a triple stroller through the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a multi-purpose babiie stroller that can be converted to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for newborns as well as two toddler seats or even a third child by using adapters.

Aside from transforming shape to accommodate different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features, such as reclining and height settings. They should also feature large handles that are easy to hold, making it easy for dad, mom or grandma to push. These strollers are more stable than traditional pushchairs because they have more parts.

Safety

A good pushchair will have many safety features, including five-point harnesses for the baby. This should fit over the shoulders, around the waist, and between the legs. It is also essential that the harness doesn't come loose and has no places where a child may get their fingers stuck.

There are many different pushchair brakes available so choose the one that best suits your needs. The most commonly used brake is a foot brake. It's a great option if you stop a lot for example, when you shop. Many jogger-style pushchairs have the option of a hand brake. This is helpful when you are changing your momentum frequently, such as when running. Some pushchairs have an active handbrake which you can activate by pressing a button on the bottom of your foot. This is a useful option for parents who are likely to be stopping and starting more often as it makes it easier to maintain your balance while still applying pressure on the wheels.

Verify that the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This is especially useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A lockable front wheel can help to prevent the pushchair from rolling away in a rush or there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

Although it may seem like an unimportant thing to consider, the weight of the pushchair is something you need to be aware of. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with an expanding child and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair and determine if you can lift it up the stairs and into the boot of your car, while carrying the toddler.

Buggy or pram are designed for infants who can sit up. They are typically used after six months. The seat can be positioned towards you or away from you, depending on whether you want your child to bond with you or explore the world. Many pushchairs come with adjustable handlebars, seat positions and other accessories.

Comfort

There are a variety of pushchairs with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are better suited for rough terrain or city streets and others aren't. The type of brake is a different aspect to consider. A foot brake, for instance is ideal for daily use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs, can be more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important comfort features is whether or not your pushchair has a full lie flat position for newborns. Babies must be in a completely flat position to help develop their spine, so it is important to choose a twin pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will allow your baby to nap or rest comfortably, allowing for longer outdoor adventures as well as a happier and healthier child.

If you're going to be using a car seat along with your pushchair, it's essential to select a model that is compatible with your infant car seat. This will make it easy for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs come with an adaptor for car seats that allows you to connect your car seat. This means you can use the same seat from birth until toddlerhood, reducing costs and hassle. Many brands offer a bundle that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with a footmuff, all in one purchase.

Another essential aspect for comfort is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough terrain or city roads, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping your baby comfy.

Other practical comfort features that you might want to check for include a large shopping basket (or even a separate bag) and a the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat, and a the hood that is ventilated. The combination of these features will help you navigate through the country or town and ensure that your child has the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
