Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also referred to as a foldable pram, buggy or stroller, is like the Swiss army knife of infant transport. These baby-chariots are able to handle any surface, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will provide comfort and safety for your baby, convenience for you, and an opportunity to bond and explore the world together. Find out what to look for when purchasing one.

Folding

One of the key characteristics that many parents look for when choosing a buggy is how easy it folds. The most notable is the EeZeFold that has an amazing one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while folding the buggy, which means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded, so you don't have to worry about your child slipping out.

Some of the smaller folding Pushchair pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they fit into the boot of your car, so they're ideal if you're a frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. Some are compact buggies for everyday use that have smaller footprints than the average pushchair, but still offer decent features such as recline that is comfortable or light wheels. They're also generally lightweight enough to be carried on your own and can be used by Grandma or Grandad in case they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are aimed towards toddlers and older infants since they can sit up, but some come with a lie-flat seating option and the option to add an infant carrycot, making them suitable from the time of birth. They might also be travel system compatible, so you can attach an infant car seat to the frame in one click.

Many compact pushchairs are still very compact when folded with the seat attached. They're perfect for those who are limited in storage space at home, or who live 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 extremely well-known pushchair in this category it is a great choice for travelling as it can be folded one-handed by pressing the button. It's also extremely light, making it simple to handle on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the world or the parent, and the hood can also be extended to provide extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible my babiie stroller can be reshaped to meet the needs of growing families. It can be one stroller that converts into a double stroller in order to accommodate siblings, or even a triple stroller with the addition of a third seat. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for infants as well as one or two toddler seats, and even a third child by the use of adapters.

Apart from changing shape to accommodate different configurations convertible strollers must also offer adjustable features like reclining and height settings. They should also feature large handles that are easy to hold, making it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers usually contain more components than traditional pushchairs they need to be more sturdy and less likely to tip over when carrying a number of children or loads of gear.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a first-of-its-kind that combines a full-featured single stroller with a pull wagon, eliminating the need for parents to invest in separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily into a single stroller or a double stroller without the need for tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give the flexibility of seating when used as an actual wagon. While the Larktale is a little heavier than some of our other top-rated convertibles has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. The main issue is the small storage space underneath the seat. Click here for more information.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include several safety features including five-point harnesses for baby. It should be placed over the shoulders as well as around the waist and between the legs. It is important that the harness doesn't come loose, and that there are no areas where a child's fingers could get stuck.

Pick the brake that is best suited to your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most popular and ideal for those who are likely to stop a lot for shopping. A hand brake is seen on a lot of jogger-style pushchairs and is more useful when you will be changing momentum often like when you go for running. Some pushchairs come with an active hand brake that operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a good option for parents who will be stopping and starting more often because it allows you to maintain your balance and apply pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the stroller has an option to lock the front wheel. This is a great feature for those who live in uneven terrain or steep hills. A wheel that locks in the front of the pushchair can prevent the pushchair from rolling away when you are in a rush or have lots of baggage in the rear.

While it may seem like a minor consideration, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can become surprisingly heavy when it is loaded with a growing infant and shopping bags. Be sure to know the weight of the item and consider whether you would be capable of lifting it into your car boot and up flights of stairs while balancing a toddler and juggling a coffee from a takeaway.

Buggy or pram are designed for infants who can sit up. They are usually used after 6 months. The seat can be placed towards you or away from you, depending on whether you want your child to bond with you or explore the world. Many pushchairs can be adjusted to seat positions, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs that come with features that are comfortable for parents. Certain models are better suited for rough terrain or city streets than others, and the brake type is also a factor to consider. For instance, a foot brake is great for daily use, whereas an active hand brake found on jogger style pushchairs can be more responsive and easy to use when on adventures.

The capability of your pushchair to allow infants to lie flat is one of the most important features. It is crucial to select the pushchair with this feature from the beginning. This will enable your baby to develop their spine in an upright position. This will allow your baby to sleep or relax in a comfortable position, allowing for longer outdoor adventures and a happier and healthier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat in conjunction with your pushchair, it's essential to choose a car seat that is compatible with your chosen infant car seat. This will make it easier to move your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs have a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to easily fix your chosen car seat to the frame. This means that you can use the same seat from birth until toddlerhood, saving money and time. Many brands also offer a travel system prams system bundles that include a carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and footmuff all in one purchase.

Another crucial comfort feature is good suspension - especially on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough roads or urban terrain, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while ensuring your baby is comfortable.

You may also want to think about other practical comfort features, like an ample basket (or separate bag), the ability to recline handles with an adjustable seat, as well as a ventilated hood. All of these features can assist you in navigating across the country or around town and ensure that your child has the best travel pushchair possible sleep for his longest naps.
