Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also referred to as a buggy, pram or stroller, is like the Swiss army knife of baby transport. From navigating crowded streets to navigating rough terrain, these baby-chariots are built to conquer all types of surfaces.

A good pushchair offers security and comfort for your child, ease for you and the chance to spend time together and explore the world together. Find out what to consider when purchasing one.

Folding Pushchair

One of the key aspects that a lot of parents are looking for when selecting a pushchair is how easy it is to fold. A standout is the EeZeFold, which has an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your child while folding the buggy. This means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded so you don't have to be concerned about your child slipping out.

Some of the most compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they can fit into the boot of your car, which means they're ideal if you're a frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. Some are day-to-day buggies which take up a smaller amount of space than a standard pushchair but still come with decent features like a good recline and wheels that are lightweight. They're also typically lightweight enough to be carried on your own and can be used by Grandma or Grandad when needed.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, and they come with a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. Some are compatible with travel systems so you can attach an infant car seat to your infant with one click.

A lot of compact pushchairs are extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're ideal for those who have a limited storage space at home or in apartments. They're also lightweight and frequently come with a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another very popular pushchair in this class that is an ideal choice for travelling as it folds with a simple press of a button. It's also incredibly light, making it easy to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the outside world or the parent and the hood can be extended to offer additional sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the demands of families that are growing. It can be a single stroller that transforms into a double stroller in order to accommodate more siblings, or a triple stroller by adding an additional seat. Our top pick, the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a stroller that can be used as a single or double. It can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for newborns and toddlers, as well as two toddler seats and even an additional child through the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers must have adjustable features, including the height and reclining setting. They should also have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for moms, dads, or grandmas to push. Additionally, because these kinds of strollers typically have more parts than traditional pushchairs, they should be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a unique model that combines a fully-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the need for parents to purchase separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily to a double or single stroller without tools or additional conversion kits, and provides the flexibility of seating with its second seat as well as a pull handle when it is in wagon mode. Although the Larktale is a bit bulkier than our other top convertibles, it has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. Its biggest drawback is limited under-seat storage.

Safety

A quality pushchair will come with several safety features, including a five-point harness that is suitable for the infant. The harness should fit over shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is also important that the harness isn't out of its place and that there are no areas where a child could get their fingers stuck.

There are many different pushchair brakes available so pick the one that is most suitable for your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most commonly used and ideal for those who are likely to stop frequently such as when shopping. Many jogger-style pushchairs have hand brakes. This is helpful when you are changing your speed frequently, for Folding Pushchair example when you run. Some pushchairs feature an active handbrake which you can activate by pressing a pedal on the bottom of your foot. This is a useful option for parents who will be stopping and starting more frequently since it helps to keep your balance while applying pressure on the wheels.

It is also important to determine whether the pushchair has a lockable front wheel. This is particularly useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A lockable front wheel can help stop the pushchair from rolling away in a hurry or there is a lot of baggage in the back.

Although it may seem like a minor consideration however, the weight of the pushchair is something to keep in mind. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when loaded up with an expanding child and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair twin and see whether you are able to lift it up a flight of stairs and into the boot of your car while carrying the toddler.

Buggy, pram, or pushchairs are designed for babies that can sit up. They are generally used after 6 months. They come with a seat that can face both towards you for bonding and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs have adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs that come with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the type of brake is another factor to take into consideration. A foot brake, for example is ideal for daily use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs can be more responsive when on an adventure.

The ability of your pushchair to allow infants to lie completely flat is one of the most important characteristics. It is essential to select the pushchair with this feature right from birth. This will allow your baby to develop their spine in a flat position. This will give your baby a comfortable nap or time to rest, which will allow for longer outdoor excursions and a happier, healthier child.

It is essential to select the right pushchair with the infant car seat you've selected. This makes it fast and easy to move your child from the car into the pushchair, reducing fuss and ensuring he's calm during his outings.

Some pushchairs have a smart adaptor for car seats, which allows you to easily connect your car seat. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood and save money and time. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot, and adaptors, as well as an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

A solid suspension system is also crucial, especially for the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving through rough roads or city streets, allowing you get over bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping baby safe.

Other practical comfort features that you might want to check out for include a spacious shopping basket (or even an additional bag), reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and ventilated hood. These features will help you navigate around town or the country and ensure that your child gets the best sleep possible for his longest naps.
