Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also known as a pram, buggy or stroller, is the Swiss knife of infant transport. From navigating crowded streets to braving rough terrain, these baby-chariots have been built to conquer all types of terrain.

A good pushchair will offer safety and comfort to your child, convenience to you, and a opportunity for you and your baby to spend time together and play. Find out what to look for when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

When selecting a stroller, stroller many parents are concerned with how easy it is to fold. The most notable is the EeZeFold which features an amazing one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy, which means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, so you don't need to be concerned about your child slipping out.

Some of the smaller 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 if you're a frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. There are some compact buggies that are ideal for everyday use that have smaller footprints than the standard pushchair, but have features that are good, such as recline that is comfortable or light wheels. They're also usually lightweight enough to be carried on your own and can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, as they come with a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. Some are compatible with travel systems and allow you to attach an infant car seat to your infant with just a click.

Many compact pushchairs are still extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're perfect for those who are limited in storage space at home or 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 category can be folded with just the press of a button. It's great to travel with because it's easy to fold. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and has great suspension. The seat rotates to switch between parent-facing and world-facing, while the hood can be extended for extra protection and coverage from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller transforms its form to meet the requirements of growing families. It could be one stroller that converts into a double stroller in order to accommodate more siblings, or a triple stroller with the addition of an additional seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a multi-purpose stroller that is able to be transformed to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for infants or Baby pram two toddler seats or even a third child with adapters.

Convertible strollers must have adjustable features, like the height and recline settings. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms, or grandmas to push. Also, since these types of strollers typically have more parts than traditional pushchairs, they will be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.

Larktale's new crossover stroller/wagon is the first of its kind, is a stroller that can be used as a wagon. Parents no longer need to buy separate products. It is able to convert quickly and easily to a single stroller or a double stroller, without the necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle offer the flexibility of seating when it is used as wagon. The Larktale is heavier than the other convertibles we have rated top-rated, but it has excellent maneuverability and can easily handle hills. Its biggest drawback is limited storage space under the seat. Click here for more information.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include many safety features including five-point harnesses for infants. The harness should be able to fit over the shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is also important that the harness isn't out of its place and that there are no areas where a child might get their fingers stuck.

There are a number of different brakes for pushchairs, and you should choose one that is most suitable for your needs. A foot brake is the most commonly used and great if you are likely to stop often like when you go shopping. Hand brakes are found on many jogger style pushchairs, and is more appropriate if you are going to be changing momentum often like when you go for an exercise. Some pushchairs feature an active hand brake that works by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a good choice for parents who are stopping and beginning their pushchairs more frequently. It makes it easier to keep your balance while still applying the pressure to the wheels.

Check if the front wheel of the pushchair is able to be locked. This is a great feature for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A lockable front wheel can prevent the pushchair from rolling away when you are in a rush or there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

Although it might seem like a small consideration, 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. Be sure to check the weight of the pushchair and consider whether you would be in a position to lift it into the car boot and then up a flight of stairs while holding a toddler and juggling a cup of coffee from a takeaway.

Buggy, pram, or pushchairs are designed for babies that can sit up. They are typically used after the age of six months. The seat can be placed to face you or away from you depending on how much you want your child to be close to you or explore the world. Many pushchairs feature adjustable handles, seat positions, and other accessories.

Comfort

There are a variety of pushchairs with features for comfort that parents love. Some are more suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the brake type is also a factor to take into consideration. For instance, a foot brake is great for daily use, while an active hand brake found on pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive and simpler to operate when out on adventures.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not the pushchair features a fully lie flat position for infants. It's important to choose an infant pushchair with this feature right from birth. This will let your baby grow into a straight position. This will give your baby a peaceful nap or time to rest, which will allow the ideal choice for more extended outdoor adventures and a happier, healthier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat along with your pushchair, it's essential to select a model 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 the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs have an adaptor for car seats that allows you to easily attach your car seat. This means you can use the same seat from birth to toddlerhood, saving money and hassle. 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 particularly for the front wheels. This can make all the difference when driving on rough roads or urban terrain that allow you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping your baby comfy.

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. All of these features can aid you in your travels through the city or country and ensure that your child gets the best sleep possible for the longest naps.
