Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

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

A good pushchair will offer safety and comfort to your child, convenience for you, and the possibility for you to bond and explore together. Find out what to consider when purchasing one.

Folding

When selecting a stroller, many parents are concerned with how easy it will be to fold. The EeZeFold is an exceptional model because it comes with a single-hand fold that allows you to hold the baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy is stable when folded, so you don't have to be concerned about your child falling out.

Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they can fit into the trunk of your car, so they're perfect if you're a frequent traveller or have a small car boot. Some are small buggies designed for everyday use that have a smaller footprint than the average pushchair, but still have features that are good, such as recline that is comfortable or light wheels. They're also typically lightweight enough to carry by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, and some have a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They could also be travel system compatible which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame with a single click.

Many compact pushchairs are still very compact when folded with the seat attached. They're great for people who have limited storage space at home, or who live in apartments. They're also lightweight and frequently have a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair from this class is foldable with one hand by pressing a button. It is great for travel because it is easy to fold. It's also light, making it simple for you to handle even on rough surfaces. It also has a great 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 stroller can change shape to fit the needs of families that are growing. It can begin as a single stroller, transform into a double stroller for children and even a triple stroller with the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. Our top pick, the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that converts to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for infants as well as one or two toddler seats and a third child with the use of adapters.

Apart from changing shape to accommodate different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features such as recline and height settings. They should come with large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms, or grandmas to push. Also, since these types of strollers often contain more components than traditional pushchairs they need to be more sturdy and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of equipment.

Larktale's crossover stroller/wagon, a first of its kind it combines a single stroller with a wagon. Parents do not have to purchase separate items. It is able to convert quickly and easily into a single stroller or double stroller, with no necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give ample seating space when being used as a wagon. The Larktale is more bulky than our other top convertibles however it is a great maneuverability and can easily handle the hills. The biggest issue is the limited storage under the seat.

Safety

A quality pushchair will come with several safety features, including five-point harnesses for the baby. It should be placed over the shoulders as well as around the waist and between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't become loose, and there aren't any areas where a child's fingers could get stuck.

There are many different brakes for pushchairs, and you should choose one that best fits your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most common and great if you are likely to stop frequently such as when shopping. Hand brakes are found on many jogger style pushchairs, and is more appropriate when you will frequently change your momentum, like when you go for a run. Some pushchairs come with an active hand brake that operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a good choice for parents who need to stop and starting their pushchairs more frequently. It makes it easier to maintain your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the stroller has an adjustable front wheel that locks. This is particularly useful for those who live in areas with steep slopes or uneven terrain. A front wheel lockable can help to prevent the pushchair from moving away in a rush or there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

Although it might appear to be a minor issue, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Check the weight of your stroller and see whether you can carry it up stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying a toddler.

Buggy, pram pushchair, or pushchairs are designed for babies that can sit up. They are usually used after the age of six months. They have seats that can face towards you for bonding and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs feature adjustable handlebars, seat positions and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs that come with comfort features that parents enjoy. Some are better suited to rough terrain or city streets but others are not. The brake type is another aspect to take into consideration. A foot brake, for example is the best choice for everyday use. An active hand brake used on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive on an adventure.

The capability of your pushchair to allow infants to lie completely flat is among the most crucial features. It's important to choose an infant pushchair with this feature from the beginning. This will allow your baby to develop their spine in an upright position. This will give your baby a comfortable nap or a rest, allowing more time for outdoor adventures and a healthier, happier child.

It is crucial to select a pushchair that is compatible with the infant car seat you've chosen. This makes it quick and easy to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair, reducing stress and ensuring he's calm during his excursions.

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

A well-designed suspension system is also essential, especially for the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough roads or in urban areas and allows you to negotiate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping your baby comfortable.

Other useful comfort features you might want to check for include a large shopping basket (or even an additional bag) and a adjustable handle bar that can recline, adjustable seat and a ventilated hood. All of these features will allow you navigate your way through the country or town and ensure that your child gets the best possible sleep for his longest naps.
