Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

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

A quality pushchair will provide comfort and safety to your baby, convenience for you, and the chance for you both to explore and bond. Read on to find out what to look for when selecting one.

Folding

When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with how easy it is to fold. The EeZeFold is a standout because it features a one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, so you don't have to be concerned about your child falling out or being injured during the process.

Some of the most compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold down so small that they can fit in the boot of your car, so they're ideal if you're a frequent traveler or have a small car boot. Some are day-to-day buggies which require less of space than the typical pushchair, but have good features, like a comfortable recline and light-weight wheels. These buggies are usually lightweight enough to be carried with hand and so Grandma or Grandad can utilize them if they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are targeted at older babies and toddlers as they can sit upright, but some offer a lie-flat seat and the option of adding a carrycot that makes them suitable from birth. Some are travel system compatible which means you can connect an infant car seat to your infant with just a click.

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

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair from this category, can be folded with one hand by pressing the button. It's ideal for travel because it is easy to fold. It's also extremely light, making it easy to maneuver on rough surfaces, and it has excellent suspension. The seat can be turned to face either the world or the parent and the hood can be extended to give you extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the requirements of families that are growing. It could be one stroller that converts into a double stroller to accommodate siblings, or even a triple stroller when you add the third seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top pick. It's a flexible single to double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for infants as well as two toddler seats or even a third child by using adapters.

In addition to changing shape to accommodate different configurations convertible strollers must also offer adjustable features like reclining and height settings. They should come with large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for moms, dads, or grandmas to push. And because these types of strollers usually contain more components than traditional pushchairs they need to be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of equipment.

Larktale's new crossover stroller/wagon is a first of its kind, is a stroller that can be used as a wagon. Parents no longer need to purchase separate items. It converts quickly and effortlessly into one stroller or a double stroller without the necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give ample seating space when being used as wagon. The Larktale is more bulky than our other top-rated convertibles, but it has excellent maneuverability and can easily handle hills. The main issue is the lack of storage space underneath the seat.

Safety

A good pushchair will have many safety features, including a five-point harness for the infant. The harness should be able to fit over shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't fall off, and that there aren't any areas that children's fingers might be stuck.

Pick the brake that is best suited to your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most common and is ideal if you are likely to stop often like when you go shopping. A hand brake is seen on a variety of jogger style prams pushchairs, and is more appropriate if you are going to frequently change your momentum, such as when using it for a run. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake that operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a useful option for parents who are likely to be stopping and starting more frequently because it allows you to keep your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth determining whether the stroller has an option to lock the front wheel. This is particularly useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A front wheel that locks can help stop the pushchair from slipping away when you are in a hurry or there is a lot of luggage in the back.

While it might appear to be a minor issue, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a light pushchair can be quite heavy when loaded with a growing infant and shopping bags. Take a look at the weight of your stroller and see if you can lift it up stairs and into the boot of your car while carrying the toddler.

A pram, buggy or pushchair is made for babies who can sit and can be used from six months. They have a seat that can face both towards you for bonding and away from you to explore the world. A lot of pushchairs have adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents enjoy the comfort features of pushchairs - and there are a variety to pick from. Some are better suited for urban streets or rough terrain, while others are not. The brake type is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for instance is the best choice for daily use. An active hand brake, found on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive when on an adventure.

The capacity of your pushchair to permit newborns to lie completely flat is one of the most important features. It's important to choose an infant pushchair with this feature from the moment of birth. This will let your baby develop their spine into a flat position. This will allow your baby to rest or nap comfortably, allowing for longer outdoor adventures and a more relaxed and healthier child.

It is crucial to select a pushchair that's compatible with the infant car seat you've selected. This will make it simple for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep him calm and minimize the amount of fuss.

Some pushchairs feature an adaptor for car seats that allows you to fix your chosen car seat to the frame. It is possible to use the seat from birth until toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with the footmuff in one purchase.

A well-designed 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 navigate bumps and uneven surface easily while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

Other useful comfort features you might want to check for include a spacious shopping basket (or even a separate bag) as well as a adjustable handle bar that can recline, adjustable seat, and a ventilated hood. These features will aid you in your travels through the city or country and ensure that your child gets the best possible sleep for his longest naps.
