Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair is also known as a stroller, buggy or pram. It's the Swiss Army knife of baby transport. These baby-chariots can handle any surface, from busy streets to rough terrain.

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

Folding

When choosing a stroller, parents are often concerned about the ease to fold. A true standout is the EeZeFold which features an incredible one-handed fold that allows you to hold your baby mobility while folding the buggy. This means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded, so you don't have to be concerned about your child slipping out.

Some folding pushchairs are compact enough that they can be tucked away into the boot of your car. They're perfect for frequent travel or if you have a small vehicle. Some are day-to-day buggies which are smaller in size of space than the average foldable pushchair but still come with decent features, like a comfortable recline and light-weight wheels. They're also typically light enough to carry by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad in case they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are aimed at toddlers and older children since they can sit up, however some offer a lie-flat seat and the option to add a carrycot to make them suitable from the time of birth. They may also be compatible with travel systems which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame in one click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel buggy, many compact pushchairs require a small amount of space when they're folded with the seat on which is why they're ideal for those short on storage space in their home or live in an apartment. They're also light and they often have a rain cover to protect them against the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this category it is a great option for traveling as it can fold one-handed by simply pressing the button. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and it has excellent suspension. The seat rotates to switch between parent-facing and world-facing, while the hood can be extended for additional protection and protection from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the requirements of families that are growing. It can begin as a single stroller, change into a double stroller for siblings and even a triple pushchair stroller with the addition of a third seat or ride-along boards. Our top choice is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for infants as well as one or two toddler seats and even an additional child through the use of adapters.

Apart from 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 hold, making it easy for dad, mom or grandma to push. These strollers are more stable than traditional pushchairs because they are made up of more components.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is the first of its kind that combines a full-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the need for parents to purchase 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 the flexibility of seating with its second seat as well as a pull handle when in wagon mode. Although the Larktale is a little heavier than our other top prams-rated convertibles, it has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. Its biggest drawback is limited under-seat storage.

Safety

A great pushchair should come with many safety features like a five point harness for infants. It should be able to fit over the shoulders over the waist, around the waist and between the legs. It is also important that the harness doesn't come loose and has no areas where a baby could get their fingers stuck.

There are a number of different pushchair brakes available so pick the one that is most suitable for your needs. The most popular brake is one that is a foot brake. It's a great option if you have to stop frequently such as when you go shopping. A hand brake is found on many jogger style pushchairs and is more useful in situations where you'll be changing momentum often such as when using it for a run. Some pushchairs come with an active hand brake that works by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a good option for parents who are likely to be frequent stop-and-starts because it allows you to maintain your balance while applying pressure on the wheels.

Examine if the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This is extremely beneficial for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A front wheel lockable can help stop the pushchair from slipping away when you are in a hurry or if there is a lot of luggage in the back.

While it might seem like a minor consideration but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a small pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with a growing baby and shopping bags. Be sure to know how much it weighs and consider whether you would be able to lift it into the car boot and up the stairs while balancing a toddler and juggling a cup of coffee from a takeaway.

A pram, buggy or pushchair is designed for babies who can sit and can be used from 6 months. The seat can be positioned towards you or away from you depending on the preference of your child to bond with you or explore the world. A lot of pushchairs have adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents enjoy the comfort of pushchairs - and there are many to choose from. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the brake type is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for example is the best choice for daily use. An active hand brake, found on jogger-style pushchairs can be more responsive during an adventure.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not your stroller features a fully lie flat position for infants. Babies need to be in a completely flat position to develop their spines, so it is important to choose a pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will allow your baby to nap or rest comfortably, allowing for more time outdoors as well as a happier and healthier child.

If you're going to be using a car seat in conjunction with your pushchair, it's essential to select a model that is compatible with the infant car seat. This makes it fast and easy to transfer your child from the car into the pushchair, which reduces fuss and ensuring he's calm during his excursions.

Some pushchairs come with an intelligent adaptor for car seats that allows you to quickly attach your car seat. The seat can be used from birth to toddlerhood and save money and time. Many brands offer a bundle which includes a baby car seat, a carrycot, and adaptors, as well as the footmuff in one purchase.

A solid suspension system is also crucial particularly for the front wheels. This can really make the difference when driving over rough terrain or city roads and allows you to negotiate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while ensuring your baby is comfortable.

It is also possible to consider other practical features, like an ample basket (or separate bag) with reclining handles as well as an adjustable seat and an air-conditioned hood. All of these features can assist you in navigating around town or the country and ensure that your child has the best possible sleep for the longest naps.
