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 can handle any surface, from busy streets to rough terrain.

A quality pushchair will provide safety and comfort to your baby, convenience to you, and the opportunity for you and your baby to bond and explore together. Learn more about what to look for when selecting one.

Folding

One of the main characteristics that many parents are looking for when they choose a pushchair pram is how easy it is to fold. The most notable is the EeZeFold, which has an amazing one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while folding the buggy, which means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy remains upright when folded, meaning you don't have to be concerned about your child falling out.

Some folding pushchairs are so compact that they can be tucked away into the boot of your car. They're ideal for frequent travelers or those with a small vehicle. Others are day-to-day buggies that are smaller in size of space than the typical pushchair, but have good features like a good recline and lightweight wheels. These buggies are usually lightweight enough to be carried by hand and so Grandma or Grandad can utilize them if they need to.

The majority of these pushchairs are targeted at older babies and toddlers since they can sit up, but some offer a lie-flat seat and the option of adding an infant carrycot, making 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 with one click.

Many compact pushchairs are extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're great for people who are limited in storage space at home or in apartments. They're also lightweight and frequently have an umbrella to shield 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 great to travel with because it's easy to fold. It's also extremely light, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and has great suspension. The seat can be turned to face either the world or the parent and the hood can be extended to offer additional sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller transforms its shape to meet the demands of growing families. It can start as a single stroller, transform into a double stroller for siblings and even turn into a triple stroller through the addition of an additional seat or ride-along boards. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a multi-functional stroller that converts to accommodate a bassinet or car seat for newborns as well as one or two toddler seats and a third child with the use of adapters.

Aside from transforming shape to adjust for different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features, such as height and reclining. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms, or grandmas to push. Additionally, because these kinds of strollers usually contain more components than traditional pushchairs, they should be more stable and less likely to tip over when carrying multiple children or loads of gear.

Larktale's crossover stroller/wagon, a first of its kind that includes a single stroller and a wagon. Parents do not have to purchase separate products. It converts quickly and easily into a single stroller or double stroller, without the necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give ample seating space when being used as a wagon. While the Larktale is a little heavier than the other top-rated convertibles is very maneuverable and can be maneuvered well over hills. The main issue is the lack of storage space underneath the seat. Click here for more details.

Safety

A good pushchair twin should have a number of safety features, including five-point harnesses for infants. The harness should fit over the shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is essential that the harness doesn't fall off, and that there are no areas where fingers of children could become stuck.

Pick the brake that is best suited to your lifestyle. The most commonly used brake is a foot brake. It's great when you have to stop frequently, like when you go shopping. A hand brake is found on a variety of jogger style pushchairs. It is more beneficial if you are going to be able to change momentum frequently, such as when using it for a run. Some pushchairs feature an active hand brake that operates by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a useful option for parents who will be frequent stop-and-starts because it allows you to maintain your balance while still applying pressure on the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the pushchair comes with an adjustable front wheel that locks. This is a great feature for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A front wheel lockable can help stop the pushchair from rolling away in a hurry or if there is a large amount of luggage in the back.

Although it may appear to be a minor issue but you must also think about the weight of the stroller. Even a pushchair that is light can be surprisingly heavy when loaded up with an ever-growing child and shopping bags. Make sure you know the weight of the pushchair and think about whether you'd be capable of lifting it into your car's boot and up the stairs while balancing a toddler and juggling a cup of coffee from a takeaway.

A buggy, pram or pushchair is made for babies who can sit up and is typically used until six months. They come with a seat that can face toward you to bond with you and away from you to explore the world. A lot of pushchairs have adjustable handlebars, seat positions and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents appreciate the comfort of pushchairs - and there are plenty to choose from. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the type of brake is another factor to take into consideration. For example, a foot brake is perfect for simple, everyday use, whereas the hand brakes that are active on twin pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive and easier to use when on adventures.

One of the most important features of comfort is whether or not the pushchair has a full 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 a peaceful nap or time to rest, which will allow the ideal choice for more extended outdoor adventures and a happier, healthier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, it's important to choose a car seat that is compatible with your infant car seat. This makes it fast and easy to move your baby from the car to the pushchair twin, reducing stress and keeping him calm throughout his outings.

Some pushchairs come with a smart adaptor for car seats that enables you to connect your car seat. The seat can be used from birth to toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands also offer a travel bundles that include a carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and footmuff all in one purchase.

Another crucial comfort feature is good suspension - especially on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when you drive on rough terrain or city roads that allow you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces easily while ensuring your baby is comfortable.

Other practical comfort features that you might want to check for include a large shopping basket (or even an additional bag), the reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and the hood that is ventilated. All of these features will help you navigate your way around town or country, and ensure your child gets the best possible sleep for his longest naps.
