Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also known as a pram, buggy or stroller, is the Swiss knife of infant transport. From navigating through crowded streets to braving rough terrain, these baby-chariots have been designed to conquer all kinds of terrain.

A quality pushchair will provide comfort and safety to your child, convenience to you, and a opportunity for you and your baby to explore and bond. Find out what to look for when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

One of the key aspects that a lot of parents look for when choosing the best pushchair is how simple it is to fold. The EeZeFold is unique because it comes with a single-hand fold, which enables you to hold the baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't have to balance the two. The buggy is stable when folded, meaning you don't have to worry about your child slipping out.

Some of the smaller folding pushchair pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold down so small that they can be tucked away in the trunk of your car, so they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. Some are compact buggies for everyday use that have smaller footprints than typical pushchair, yet provide decent features like a comfortable recline or light wheels. These buggies are usually lightweight enough to be carried with hand, so Grandma or Grandad can use them in the event of need.

The majority of these pushchairs are designed at older babies and toddlers since they can sit upright, but some have a lie-flat chair and the option of adding a carrycot to make them suitable for babies from the time of birth. Some are compatible with travel strollers systems and allow you to attach an infant car seat to your baby with just a click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel buggy, the majority of compact pushchairs take up a tiny space when they're folded with the seat on which is why they're ideal for those who are tight of storage space in their homes or an apartment. They're also light, and they often come with a raincover to protect them against the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another very well-known pushchair in this category, which is an excellent choice for travelling as it can fold one-handed by simply pressing one button. It's also lightweight, making it easy to maneuver even on rough surfaces. It also comes with a great 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 transforms its form to meet the requirements of families that are growing. It can begin as a single stroller, change into a double pram stroller for siblings, and even become a triple stroller with the addition of a third seat or ride-along board. Our top choice, the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a multi-functional stroller that converts to accommodate a bassinet, car seat for infants as well as one or two toddler seats and an additional child through the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers should have adjustable features, like the height and recline settings. They should also have large, easy-to-grip handles that make it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. These strollers are more stable than traditional pushchairs because they have more parts.

Larktale's cross-over stroller/wagon, the first of its kind that combines a single stroller with a wagon. Parents do not have to purchase separate items. It is quick and easy to convert into a single or double foldable stroller with no tools or conversion kits. It also offers plenty of seating versatility with the second seat and pull handle when in wagon mode. The Larktale is heavier than our other top convertibles however it offers excellent maneuverability and can easily handle the hills. Its biggest flaw is the lack of storage space underneath the seat.

Safety

A great pushchair should come with a number of safety features, including five-point harnesses for babies. The harness should fit over the shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is essential that the harness does not come loose, and that there are no areas where a child's fingers could become stuck.

Select the brake that best suits your lifestyle. The most commonly used brake is one that is a foot brake. It's a great option if you frequently stop such as when you go shopping. A hand brake is found on many jogger style pushchairs, and is more appropriate when you will frequently change your momentum, for instance, when going for a run. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake that operates by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a good option for parents who will be stopping and starting more often since it helps to maintain your balance while still applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the stroller has a lockable front wheel. This is particularly beneficial for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A front wheel that locks can help to prevent the pushchair from moving away when you are in a hurry or if there is a lot of baggage in the back.

While it might seem like a small consideration but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can become surprisingly heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Take a look at the weight of your stroller and see whether you are able to lift it up stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying a toddler.

A pram, buggy or pushchair is designed for babies who are able to sit up and is generally used from six months. The seat can be positioned to face you or away from you, depending on whether you want your child to bond with you or explore the world. A lot of pushchairs come with adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs with features for comfort that parents love. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain, while others are not. The brake type is a different aspect to consider. A foot brake, for instance, is best suited to everyday use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive on an adventure.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not the pushchair has a full lie flat position prams for newborns infants. It's important to choose the pushchair with this feature right from birth. This will allow your baby to grow into a straight position. This will allow your baby a comfortable nap or a rest, allowing for longer outdoor excursions and a healthier, happier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat along with your pushchair, it's essential to get a model that is compatible with your chosen infant car seat. This makes it quick and easy to transfer your baby from the car into the pushchair, reducing fuss and ensuring he's calm during his outings.

Some pushchairs have a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to attach your car seat to the frame. It is possible to use the seat from birth until toddlerhood, and save money and time. Many brands also offer a travel stroller system bundles that include a carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors, and a footmuff all in one purchase.

A good suspension system is also important, especially for the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving on rough roads or in urban areas and allows you to negotiate bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping your baby comfy.

Other practical comfort features that you may want to look out for include a spacious shopping basket (or even an additional bag), reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat, and a an air-conditioned hood. All of these features can help you navigate around town or the country and ensure that your child has the best possible sleep for the longest naps.
