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 baby transportation. These baby-chariots can handle any surface, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A quality pushchair provides comfort and safety for your baby, convenience for you, and an opportunity to explore the world together. Read on to find out what to look for when selecting one.

Folding

One of the most important aspects that a lot of parents look for when choosing the best pushchair is how simple it folds. The EeZeFold is a standout because it has a one-handed fold that allows you to hold the baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy is also stable when folded, meaning you don't have to worry about your child falling off or being injured during the process.

Some folding pushchairs are compact enough that they fit into the boot of your car. They're great for frequent travelers or those with a small vehicle. Some are compact buggies for use in everyday life that have smaller footprints than standard pushchair, but offer decent features such as a good recline or lightweight wheels. They are usually light enough to be able to be carried by hand and so Grandma or Grandad can utilize them if they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are aimed towards toddlers and older infants because they can sit up, however some come with a lie-flat seating option and the option to add a carrycot that makes them suitable from the time of birth. They could also be travel stroller system compatible and allow you to attach an infant car seat to the frame with just a click.

Although they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggie, many compact pushchairs still take up very little space when they're folded with the seat on which is why they're ideal for those short on storage space at their home or live in an apartment. They are also lightweight, and many come with a raincover to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this category that is a great option for traveling as it can fold one-handed with a simple press of one button. It's also light, making it easy to use even on rough surfaces. It also has a great suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the world or the parent, and the hood can be extended to provide extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be altered to meet the demands of growing families. It can start as a single stroller, change into a double stroller for siblings, and even become a triple stroller with the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a versatile single to double stroller that can be transformed to accommodate a car seat, a bassinet for infants, two toddler seats, or even a third child with adapters.

In addition to changing shape to accommodate different configurations convertible strollers must also offer adjustable features like reclining and height settings. They should have large, easy to grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms or grandmas to push. And because these types of strollers often contain more components than traditional pushchairs, they should be more sturdy and less likely to tip over when carrying a number of children or loads of equipment.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a first-of-its-kind that combines a full-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the necessity for parents to invest in separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily to a double or single stroller without the need for tools or conversion kits, and offers plenty of seating versatility with its second seat and pull handle when in wagon mode. The Larktale is more bulky than our other top convertibles, but it has excellent maneuverability and is able to handle the hills. Its biggest drawback is limited under-seat storage.

Safety

A well-constructed pushchair should have several safety features, including a five-point harness for the infant. It should be placed over the shoulders over the waist, around the waist, and between the legs. It is important that the harness does not come loose, and that there are no areas where fingers of children could be stuck.

There are a variety of different pushchair brakes available so pick the one that best suits your needs. The most common brake is a foot brake. It's great if you stop a lot such as when you go to the shops. A hand brake is seen on a lot of jogger-style pushchairs and is more useful if you are going to frequently change your momentum, like when you go for an exercise. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake which operates by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a useful option for parents who will be frequent stop-and-starts since it helps to keep your balance and apply pressure on the wheels.

Verify that the front wheel of the pushchair is able to be locked. This can be very helpful for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A lockable front wheel can prevent the pushchair from slipping away in a hurry or if there is a large amount of baggage in the back.

Although it may seem something of a minor issue however, the weight of the pushchair is something you need to bear in mind too. Even a light pushchair can become quite heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Be sure to know the weight of the pushchair and think about whether you'd be in a position to lift it into your car's boot and up flights of stairs while balancing a toddler and juggling a cup of coffee from a takeaway.

Buggy or running pram are designed for infants who can sit up. They are typically used after 6 months. The seat can be positioned towards you or away from you depending on how much you want your child to be close to you or explore the world. Many pushchairs can be adjusted to seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents love the convenience features of pushchairs, and there are many to pick from. Some are better suited to rough terrain or city streets but others are not. The brake type is a different aspect to consider. A foot brake, for example, is best suited to daily use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive when on an adventure.

One of the most important comfort features is whether or not your stroller features a fully lie flat position for newborns. It is crucial to select a pushchair that has this feature from the beginning. This will enable your baby to develop their spine in a straight position. This will allow your baby a comfortable nap or a rest, allowing for longer outdoor excursions and a happier, healthier child.

It's important to choose a pushchair that's compatible with the infant car seat you've chosen. This makes it fast and easy to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair, which reduces fuss and keeping him calm throughout his outings.

Some pushchairs have a smart adaptor for car seats that allows you to connect your car seat. This means you can use the same seat from birth to toddlerhood, which saves money and hassle. Many brands offer a bundle which includes a baby car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with an infant footmuff, all in one purchase.

A solid suspension system is also essential particularly for the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving through rough roads or urban streets, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surface easily while keeping your the baby stroller in a comfortable position.

Other features for comfort that you should look for include a spacious shopping basket (or even a separate bag), the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and ventilated hood. The combination of these features will help you navigate around town or country and ensure that your little one has the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
