Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair is also referred to as a buggy, stroller or pram. It's the Swiss Army knife of infant transportation. From navigating through crowded streets to navigating rough terrain, these baby-chariots are built to conquer all types of surfaces.

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

Folding

When selecting a stroller, many parents are concerned with how easy it is to fold. A true standout is the EeZeFold which features an incredible one-handed fold that allows you to hold your child while folding the buggy, meaning that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy also stays standing when folded, which means you do not have to worry about your child falling out or being injured during the process.

Some of the really compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they can be tucked away in the trunk of your car, which means they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a small car boot. There are also day-today buggies that require less of space than the average pushchair but still come with decent features, like a comfortable recline and light-weight wheels. They're also generally lightweight enough to be carried on your own and can be used by Grandma or Grandad when needed.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, since some have a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They might also be travel strollers system compatible and allow you to attach an infant car seat to the frame in one click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel buggy many compact pushchairs still take up a tiny space when they're folded with the seat on, so they're perfect for those who are short of storage space in their home or in an apartment. They're also light and usually have a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair from this class can be folded with just the press of a button. It's ideal for traveling as it is easy to fold. It is also very light, making it simple to use even on rough surfaces. It also comes with a great suspension. The seat can be turned to face either the world or the parent and the hood can also be extended to provide extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller changes shape to fit the needs of growing families. It can be used as an individual stroller, then transform into a double stroller for children and even become a triple stroller through the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a flexible stroller that can be converted to accommodate a car seat, a bassinet for infants or two toddler seats or even a third child by using adapters.

Convertible strollers must have adjustable features, like height and reclining settings. They should also come with large handles that are easy to hold, making it comfortable for dad, mom or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers strollers typically contain more parts than traditional pushchairs, they should be more stable and less likely to tip over when carrying a number of children or loads of gear.

Larktale's crossover stroller/wagon, a first of its kind it includes a single stroller and a wagon. Parents do not have to purchase separate items. It can be converted quickly and easily to a single foldable stroller or double stroller, without the need for tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle offer the flexibility of seating when used as a wagon. The Larktale is more bulky than the other convertibles we have rated top-rated, but it has excellent maneuverability and is able to handle hills. Its biggest flaw is the lack of storage space underneath the seat. Click here for more details.

Safety

A good pushchair should have a number of safety features, including five-point harnesses for infants. The harness should be able to fit over shoulders and around the waist, and also between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't fall off, and that there are no areas where a child's fingers could be stuck.

Choose the brake that suits your lifestyle. The most commonly used brake is one that is a foot brake. It's a great option if you frequently stop, like when you go to the shops. Many jogger-style pushchairs feature the option of a hand brake. This is useful when you are changing your speed frequently, for example when you run. Some pushchairs feature an active hand brake which operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a useful option for parents who are likely to be frequent stop-and-starts as it makes it easier to keep your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the pushchair has an option to lock the front wheel. This is extremely beneficial for those who live in uneven terrain or steep hills. A front wheel that locks can help stop the pushchair from slipping away when you are in a hurry or there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

Even though it might seem like a small consideration but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a light pushchair can be surprisingly heavy when loaded up with an expanding child and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your stroller and see if you can lift it up a flight of stairs and into the boot of your car, while carrying a toddler.

Buggy prams pushchairs, pushchairs, or prams are designed for babies that can sit up. They are generally used after 6 months. They have seats that can be oriented both towards you for bonding and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs come with adjustable handles, seat positions, and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents appreciate the convenience features of pushchairs, and there are many to pick from. Some are more suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the type of brake is also a factor to consider. A foot brake, for example, is best suited to daily use. A hand brake that is active that is found on pushchairs with joggers, can be more responsive when on an adventure.

One of the most important comfort features is whether or not your pushchair features a fully lie flat position for infants. Babies need to be in a completely flat position to help them develop their spine, and it is important to choose a pushchair with this feature from birth. This will give your baby a relaxing nap or time to rest, which will allow more time for outdoor adventures and a happier, healthier child.

It is essential to select a pushchair that is compatible with the infant car seat you have chosen. This makes it fast and easy to move your child from the car into the pushchair, which reduces fuss and keeping him calm throughout his excursions.

Some pushchairs feature a smart car seat adaptor that lets you easily attach your car seat to the frame. This means that you can use the same seat from birth until toddlerhood, saving money and time. Many brands also offer a travel system bundles that include a carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and 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 in urban areas, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while ensuring your baby is comfortable.

Other useful comfort features you might want to check for include a spacious shopping basket (or even a separate bag), the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and the hood that is ventilated. All of these features can assist you in navigating across the country or around town and make sure that your child gets the best possible rest for the longest naps.
