Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also referred to as a buggy, pram or stroller, is like the Swiss knife of infant transport. These baby-chariots are able to handle any surface, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will provide safety and comfort for your child, ease for you and a chance to bond and explore the world together. Find out what to consider when purchasing one.

Folding

When selecting a stroller, parents are often concerned about the ease to fold. A true standout is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold which lets you hold your baby while folding the buggy, which means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded so you don't have to worry about your child getting out.

Some folding pushchairs are so compact that they fit into the boot of your car. They're ideal for frequent travel or if you have a small vehicle. There are some compact buggies that are ideal for everyday use, which have smaller footprints than the typical pushchair, yet provide decent features like a good recline or lightweight stroller wheels. They're also typically lightweight enough to be carried on your own and can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, and some come with a lie-flat seats or carrycot option. They may also be travel system prams system compatible which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame with just a click.

Although they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggy, many compact pushchairs require a small amount of space when folded with the seat on, so they're perfect for those who are short on storage space at their homes or an apartment. They're also lightweight and frequently have a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another very popular pushchair in this class that is a great choice for travelling as it can fold one-handed with a simple press of a button. It's also light, making it simple to maneuver even on rough surfaces. It also has an excellent suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the world or the parent and the hood can also be extended to offer additional sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the needs of growing families. It could be a single stroller that transforms into a double pushchair stroller to accommodate more siblings, or a triple stroller with the addition of an additional seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top pick. It's a flexible single to double stroller that is able to be transformed to accommodate a car seat, a 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 such as reclining and height settings. They should also feature large handles that are easy to grip, making it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers usually contain more parts than traditional pushchairs pushchairs, they will be more stable and less likely to tip over when carrying a number of children or loads of gear.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a 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 quickly and easily converts to a double or single stroller without tools or additional conversion kits, and provides the flexibility of seating with its second seat and pull handle when in wagon mode. Although the Larktale is a bit bulkier than some of our other top-rated convertibles, it is extremely maneuverable and can maneuver well over hills. The biggest issue is the limited storage under the seat. Click here for additional information.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include several safety features, including five-point harnesses for infants. This should fit over the shoulders, around the waist, and between the legs. It is also essential that the harness doesn't become out of its place and that there are no places where a child could get their fingers stuck.

There are many different pushchair brakes to choose from, and you should choose one that best suits your needs. A foot brake is the most commonly used and is ideal if you are likely to stop frequently such as when shopping. A lot of jogger-style pushchairs come with a hand brake. This is useful in situations where you have to change your momentum often, like when running. Some pushchairs feature an active hand brake which operates by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a good choice for parents who are stopping and beginning their pushchairs more frequently. It allows you to keep your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

Examine if the front wheel of the pushchair is able to be locked. This is especially useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A lockable wheel on the front can stop the pushchair from rolling away when you're in a hurry or have lots of luggage in the rear.

Even though it may seem like a minor consideration but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a light pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with an expanding child and shopping bags. Make sure you know how much it weighs and consider whether you would be in a position to lift it into your car's boot and up the stairs while holding a toddler and juggling a coffee from a takeaway.

Buggy, pram, or pushchairs are made for babies who can sit up. They are usually used after the age of six months. The seat can be set to face you or away from you, depending on the preference of your child to bond with you or explore the world. Many pushchairs feature adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents love the convenience features of pushchairs, and there are plenty to pick from. Some are more suitable for rough terrain or city streets and others aren't. The type of brake is another aspect to take into consideration. For instance, a foot brake is perfect for simple daily use, whereas an active hand brake found on jogger-style pushchairs may be more responsive and easy to operate when out on adventures.

The capability of your pushchair to allow infants to lie completely flat is among the most important characteristics. Babies should be lying flat in a position to develop their spines, so it is important to choose a pushchair with this feature from birth. This will allow your child to sleep or relax comfortably, which will allow for more time outdoors and a more relaxed and healthier child.

It is crucial to select the right pushchair with the infant car seat you have chosen. This will make it simple for you 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 a smart adaptor for car seats that allows you to attach your car seat. This means that you can use the same seat from birth to toddlerhood, saving money and time. Many brands also offer a travel system bundle that includes a carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and footmuff all in one purchase.

Another important aspect of comfort is a good suspension, especially on the front wheels. This can make all the difference when you drive on rough roads or in urban areas and allows you to negotiate bumps and uneven surfaces without difficulty while ensuring your baby is comfortable.

It is also possible to think about other practical comfort features, such as the capacity of a large basket (or separate bag) with the ability to recline handles with an adjustable seat, as well as a ventilated hood. The combination of these features will allow you to navigate your way around town or country, and ensure your child gets the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
