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 baby transport. From navigating through crowded streets to navigating rough terrain, these baby-chariots have been built to conquer all types of surfaces.

A quality pushchair will provide security and comfort for your baby, ease to you, and a possibility for you to bond and explore together. Find out what to look for when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

One of the key aspects that a lot of parents are looking for when they choose a pushchair is how easy it is to fold. The EeZeFold is a standout because it has a one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy is also stable when folded, meaning you don't have to be concerned about the child falling out or getting harmed during this process.

Some of the really compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they can fit into the boot of your car, so they're ideal for frequent traveller or have a smaller car boot. Others are day-to-day buggies that require less of space than the typical pushchair but still have decent features like a good recline and wheels that are lightweight. They are usually light enough to be carried with hand and so Grandma or Grandad can use them if necessary.

The majority of these pushchairs are designed towards toddlers and older infants since they can sit up, however some have a lie-flat chair and the option of adding a carrycot that makes them suitable for babies from birth. Some are travel system compatible so you can attach a car seat for your infant with just one click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel pushchair buggy, many compact pushchairs still require a small amount of space when folded with the seat in which is why they're ideal for those who are tight of storage space in their home or in an apartment. They're also light and many come with a raincover to protect them against the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair in this category is foldable with one hand by pressing a button. It's great for traveling as it is easy to fold. It's also extremely light, making it simple to maneuver on rough surfaces, and has great suspension. The seat rotates to change between parent-facing and world-facing. The hood can be extended for extra protection and coverage from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be altered to meet the demands of families that are growing. It could be one stroller that converts into a double stroller in order to accommodate children, or a triple stroller with the addition of the third seat. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a multi-functional stroller that converts to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for newborns and toddlers, as well as two toddler seats, and even a third child by the use of adapters.

Aside from transforming shape to adjust for different configurations convertible strollers must also offer adjustable features such as reclining and height settings. They should also 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 are made up of more components.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a unique model that combines a fully-featured single stroller with an incline wagon, removing the necessity for parents to invest in separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily to a double or single stroller with no tools or conversion kits, and provides the flexibility of seating with its second seat and pull handle when used in wagon mode. While the Larktale is a bit heavier than the other top-rated convertibles is extremely maneuverable and can maneuver well over hills. The main issue is the lack of storage space under the seat.

Safety

A good pushchair will have many safety features, including five-point harnesses for the infant. The harness should be able to fit over shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is also essential that the harness doesn't come loose and that it has no places where a child could get their fingers stuck.

Choose the brake that suits your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most commonly used and great if you are likely to stop a lot such as when shopping. Hand brakes are found on many jogger style pushchairs. It is more beneficial when you will be changing momentum often such as when using it for an exercise. Some pushchairs feature an active handbrake that can activate by pressing a pedal at the bottom of your foot. This is a great option for parents who will be stopping and starting more often because it allows you to keep your balance while still applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also important to determine whether the stroller has an option to lock the front wheel. This can be very helpful for those who live in uneven terrain or steep hills. A wheel lockable on the front can stop the pushchair from rolling away when you're in a hurry or have a lot of luggage in the rear.

Although it may seem a minor consideration, the weight of the pushchair is something you need to bear in mind too. Even a lightweight pushchair can be surprisingly heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Check the weight of your stroller and see if you can lift it up a flight of stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying an infant.

A pram, buggy or pushchair is made for babies who can sit and can be used from six 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. A lot of pushchairs come with adjustable seating positions, handlebars, and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are better suited to rough terrain or city streets and others aren't. The type of brake is a different aspect to consider. A foot brake, for instance is ideal for daily use. A hand brake that is active used on jogger-style pushchairs, can be more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important comfort features is whether or not your stroller has a full lie flat position for infants. It's important to choose the pushchair with this feature from the beginning. This will allow your baby to develop their spine into an upright position. This will allow your baby a peaceful nap or time to rest, which will allow the ideal choice for more extended outdoor adventures and a healthier, happier child.

It is essential to select a pushchair that is compatible with the infant car seat you have chosen. This will make it simple to move your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep him calm and minimize the amount of fuss.

Some pushchairs come with an intelligent adaptor for car seats that allows you to connect your car seat. The seat can be used from birth to toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands offer a travel bundle which includes a baby car seat, a carrycot, and adaptors, as well as a footmuff, all in one purchase.

Another important aspect of comfort is good suspension - especially on the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving over rough terrain or city streets, allowing you navigate bumps and uneven surface without difficulty while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

Other useful comfort features you may want to look out for include a spacious shopping basket (or even a separate bag) and a adjustable handle bar that can recline, adjustable seat and a the hood that is ventilated. All of these features will help you navigate around town or country and ensure that your child has the best possible sleep for his longest naps.
