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 can be used on any terrain, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will offer security and comfort for your baby, ease to you, and the possibility for you to spend time together and play. Find out what you should consider when purchasing one.

Folding

One of the most important characteristics that many parents are looking for when they choose a buggy is how easy it folds. The EeZeFold is an exceptional model because it features a one-handed fold, which allows you to hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy is stable 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 small they can be tucked away in the boot of your car, so they're perfect if you're a frequent traveller or have a tiny car boot. Others are day-to-day buggies that are smaller in size of space than a standard pushchair but still come with decent features like a good recline and lightweight wheels. They're also generally light enough to carry by hand and so can be used by Grandma or Grandad when 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 so you can attach an automobile seat to your infant with a click.

While they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggy, many compact pushchairs take up a tiny space when they're folded with the seat in which is why they're ideal for those who are tight on storage space in their home or in an apartment. They're also light and usually come with a rain cover to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another extremely popular pushchair in this class it is a great option for traveling as it folds by pressing a button. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can rotate to turn from parent-facing to world-facing, while the hood can be extended for extra protection and protection from the sun.

Convertible

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

Aside from transforming shape to adjust for different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features, such as recline and height settings. They should also come with large handles that are easy to grip, making it comfortable for dad, mom or grandma to push. Additionally, because these kinds 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.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a first-of-its-kind that combines a full-featured single stroller with an incline wagon, removing the necessity for parents to purchase separate products. It is able to convert quickly and effortlessly into a single stroller or a double pram and pushchair stroller, with no necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle provide ample seating space when used as an actual wagon. The Larktale is heavier than the other convertibles we have rated top-rated however it is a great maneuverability and can easily handle uphills. Its biggest flaw is the limited storage under the seat. Click here for more info.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include several safety features like a five point harness for infants. The harness should fit over the shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is also crucial that the harness doesn't come loose and that it has no areas where a child might get their fingers stuck.

Pick the brake that is best suited to your lifestyle. The most popular brake is a foot brake. It's a great option if you stop a lot such as when you shop. Many jogger-style pushchairs have a hand brake. This is helpful when you are changing your speed frequently, such as when you run. Some pushchairs feature an active hand brake that works by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a good option for parents who will be stopping and starting their pushchairs more often. It allows you to stay in your position while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth determining whether the stroller has a lockable front wheel. This is especially useful for those who live in areas that have steep slopes or uneven terrain. A wheel that locks in the front of the pushchair can prevent the pushchair from slipping away if you are in a rush or have lots of baggage in the rear.

Although it might appear to be a minor issue, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a small pushchair can become surprisingly heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair and determine whether you can carry it up the stairs and into the boot of your car, while carrying a toddler stroller.

Buggy, pram, or pushchairs are designed for infants who can sit up. They are generally used after 6 months. They come with seats that can be oriented toward you to bond with you and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs can be adjusted to seating positions, handlebars, and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents love the convenience features of pushchairs, and there are a variety to choose from. Some are better suited for urban streets or rough terrain but others are not. The brake type is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for instance is the best travel pram choice for daily use. An active hand brake that is found on pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive when on an adventure.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not your stroller features a fully lie flat position for babies. It is crucial to select the pushchair with this feature right from birth. This will enable your baby to develop their spine in an upright position. This will give your baby a relaxing nap or time to rest, which will allow the ideal choice for more extended outdoor adventures and a healthier, happier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, you need to choose a car seat that is compatible with your infant car seat. This makes it fast and easy to move your baby from the car into the pushchair, reducing fuss and ensuring he's calm during his outings.

Some pushchairs have a smart adaptor for car seats, which allows you to quickly attach your car seat. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood, and save money and time. Many brands offer a bundle that includes a car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

A well-designed suspension system is also crucial particularly for the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough roads or city streets, allowing you get over bumps and uneven surfaces without difficulty while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

Other useful comfort features you may want to look for include a large shopping basket (or even a separate bag) and a the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and an air-conditioned hood. The combination of these features will help you navigate your way around town or country, and ensure your child gets the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
