Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also known as a pram double, buggy 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 designed to conquer all kinds of terrain.

A good pushchair will provide comfort and safety for your child, ease for you, and an opportunity to bond and explore the world together. Read on to find out what to look for when selecting one.

Folding

When it comes to choosing a stroller parents are often concerned about how easy it is to fold it. The most notable is the EeZeFold which features an amazing one-handed fold that allows you to hold your child while folding the buggy, meaning you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded, meaning you don't need to worry about your child falling out.

Some of the most compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they can be tucked away in 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 use in everyday life that have smaller footprints than the typical pushchair newborn, yet provide decent features like a comfortable recline or light wheels. These buggies are usually lightweight enough to be carried by hand which means that Grandma or Grandad can utilize them if they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are targeted at older babies and toddlers because they can sit upright, but some have a lie-flat chair and the option of adding an infant carrycot, making them suitable for babies from the time of birth. They may also be travel system compatible and allow you to attach an infant car seat to the frame with just a click.

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

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair from this class is foldable with one hand by pressing the button. It's ideal to travel with because it's easy to fold. It's also extremely light, making it easy to maneuver on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat rotates to turn from parent-facing to the world, and the hood can be extended to provide extra protection and protection from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller transforms its form to meet the requirements of growing families. It can be a single stroller that transforms into a double pram pushchair stroller to accommodate more siblings, or a triple stroller with the addition of an additional seat. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a multi-functional stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for newborns, one or two toddler seats, and even a third child by the use of adapters.

In addition to changing shape to adjust for different configurations, convertible strollers [online] should offer adjustable features like reclining and height settings. They should also feature large, easy-to-grip handles that make it comfortable for dad, mom or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers usually have more parts than traditional pushchairs, they will be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of equipment.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is the first of its kind that combines a full-featured single stroller with an incline wagon, removing the need for parents to purchase separate products. It converts quickly and easily to 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 it is used as an actual wagon. The Larktale is bulkier than the other convertibles we have rated top-rated however it is a great maneuverability and is able to handle the hills. Its biggest flaw is the small storage space under the seat. Click here for more information.

Safety

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

There are many different brakes for pushchairs, and you should choose one that is most suitable for your lifestyle. The most popular brake is one that is a foot brake. It's a great option if you frequently stop, like when you shop. Many jogger-style pushchairs feature hand brakes. This is useful in situations where you have to change your momentum frequently, such as when running. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake which 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 allows you to stay in your position while still applying the pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the pushchair has a lockable front wheel. This is especially useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A lockable front wheel can prevent the pushchair from rolling away in a hurry or if 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 surprisingly heavy when loaded up with an ever-growing child and shopping bags. Make sure you know the weight of the pushchair and think about whether you'd be in a position to lift it into your car boot and then up a flight of stairs while balancing a toddler and juggling a takeaway coffee.

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

Comfort

Many parents enjoy the comfort of pushchairs - and there are a variety to pick from. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the type of brake is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for instance is the best choice for daily use. An active hand brake used on jogger-style pushchairs can be more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important features of comfort is whether or not your stroller is able to lie completely flat position for infants. Babies must be in a completely flat position to help them develop their spine, and it's worth choosing a pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will allow your child to nap or rest comfortably, which will allow for longer outdoor adventures and a happier and healthier child.

If you're going to be using a car seat with your pushchair, it's important to choose a car seat that is compatible with your infant car seat. This will make it easy for you to move your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also help keep him calm and reduce fuss.

Some cheap pushchairs come with a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to attach your car seat to the frame. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood, and save time and money. Many brands also offer a travel system bundle that includes the carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and a footmuff all in one purchase.

Another crucial comfort feature is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough roads or urban streets, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surface without difficulty while keeping your baby comfortable.

You may also want to consider other practical comfort features, like the capacity of a large basket (or separate bag) with reclining handles, an adjustable seat and a hood that is ventilated. These features will aid you in your travels around town or the country and ensure that your child gets the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
