Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

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

Folding

One of the key aspects that a lot of parents are looking for when selecting a pushchair is how easy it folds. The most notable is the EeZeFold which features an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, which means you don't have to worry about the child falling out or getting harmed during this process.

Some folding pushchairs are so small that they can be tucked away in your car's boot. They're ideal for frequent travel or if you have a small vehicle. Some are day-to-day buggies which require less of space than the average pushchair, but have good features such as a great recline and wheels that are lightweight. They're also usually light enough to carry by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad when needed.

The majority of these pushchairs are targeted at toddlers and older children since they can sit upright, but some have a lie-flat chair and the option of adding an infant carrycot, making them suitable from birth. They may also be compatible with travel systems which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame in one click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel buggie, many compact pushchairs still require a small amount of space when folded with the seat on which is why they're ideal for those who are tight on storage space in their homes or an apartment. They're also lightweight and often come with a rain cover to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this category, which is a great option for travel because it can fold one-handed with a simple press of the button. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to maneuver on rough surfaces, and it has excellent suspension. The seat rotates to turn from parent-facing to world-facing, while the hood can be extended to provide extra protection and coverage from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller changes shape to meet the demands of growing families. It can be an individual stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller to accommodate children, or a triple stroller when you add the third seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top pick. It's a multi-purpose single to double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for infants, two toddler seats, or even a third child using adapters.

Convertible strollers should come with adjustable features, such as height and reclining settings. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for moms, dads or grandmas to push. These strollers are more stable than traditional pushchairs as they have more parts.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a unique model that combines a full-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the need for parents to buy separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily to a double or single stroller without tools or additional conversion kits, and offers ample seating options with its second seat and pull handle when it is in wagon mode. While the Larktale is a bit heavier than our other top-rated convertibles has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. The main drawback is the lack of storage space under the seat.

Safety

A good pushchair should have a number of safety features, including a five point harness for babies. The harness should be able to fit over the shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't fall off, and that there are no areas where a child's fingers could get stuck.

Select the brake that best suits your lifestyle. The most common brake is one that is a foot brake. It's great if you frequently stop such as when you shop. A hand brake is found on a lot of jogger-style pushchairs and is more useful in situations where you'll be able to change momentum frequently, like when you go for an exercise. Some pushchairs have 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 since it helps to maintain your balance while still applying pressure to the wheels.

Check if the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This is especially useful for those who live in areas that have uneven terrain or steep slopes. A front wheel lockable can help to prevent the pushchair from moving away when you are in a hurry or there is a lot of luggage in the back.

Although it may seem a minor consideration but the weight of the pushchair is something to keep in mind. Even a pushchair that is light can be quite heavy when loaded up with a growing child and shopping bags. Check the weight of your stroller and see whether you are able to lift it up stairs and into the boot of your car, while carrying the toddler.

Comfort

There are a variety of pushchairs with features for comfort that parents love. Some are more suitable for urban streets or rough terrain but others are not. The type of brake is another aspect to take into consideration. A foot brake, for example, is best suited to daily use. An active hand brake, found on jogger-style pushchairs can be more responsive on an adventure.

The ability of your pushchair to permit newborns to lie completely flat is among the most crucial features. It's important to choose a pushchair that has this feature right from birth. This will enable your baby to grow into a flat position. This will allow your child to sleep or relax comfortably, allowing for longer outdoor adventures and a happier and healthier child.

It is crucial to select a pushchair that is compatible with the infant car seat you have selected. This will make it easier for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also help keep him calm and reduce fuss.

Some pushchairs have an intelligent adaptor for car seats that allows you to connect your car seat. This means that you can use the same seat from birth until toddlerhood, saving money and time. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

Another crucial comfort feature is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving through rough terrain or city streets, allowing you navigate bumps and uneven surface easily while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

You might also want to consider other practical features, like an ample basket (or separate bag), reclined handles as well as an adjustable seat and a hood that is ventilated.
