A pushchair, also referred to as a buggy, pram bag or stroller, is like the Swiss army knife of baby transport. From navigating crowded streets to navigating rough terrain, these baby-chariots are built to conquer all types of surfaces.

When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with the ease to fold it. A standout is the EeZeFold which features an amazing one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while Folding Pushchair the buggy. This means you don't need to move between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, meaning you don't need to be concerned about your child getting out.

Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they can be tucked away in the boot of your car, which means they're perfect if you're a frequent traveller or have a tiny car boot. Others are day-to-day buggies that are smaller in size of space than a standard pushchair, but have good features such as a great recline and light-weight wheels. They're also typically light enough to carry by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad when needed.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, since some have a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They could also be travel system compatible, so you can attach an infant car seat to the frame in just a click.

A convertible foldable stroller can be reshaped to meet the requirements of growing families. It can start as a single stroller, change into a double stroller for children and even become a triple stroller by the addition of an additional seat or ride-along boards. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top choice. It's a multi-purpose single to double stroller newborn that is able to be transformed to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for newborns or two toddler seats or even a third child by using adapters.

Apart from changing shape to adjust for different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features like recline and height settings. They should also come with large, easy-to-grip handles that make it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. Also, since these types of strollers typically have more parts than traditional pushchairs, they should be more sturdy and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include many safety features like five-point harnesses for babies. The harness should fit over the shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is also crucial that the harness isn't loose and that it has no areas where a child might get their fingers stuck.

Choose the brake that suits your lifestyle. The most popular brake is one that is a foot brake. It's a great option if you stop a lot, like when you go shopping. A hand brake is seen on many jogger style pushchairs and is more useful in situations where you'll frequently change your momentum, like when you go for running. Some pushchairs have an active hand brake that works by pressing a pedal using your foot. This is a useful option for parents who will be stopping and starting more frequently because it allows you to keep your balance while still applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth determining whether the pushchair comes with an adjustable front wheel that locks. This is a great feature for those who live in uneven terrain or steep hills. A wheel lockable on the front can prevent the pushchair rolling away if you are in a rush or have lots of baggage in the rear.

While it might seem like a minor consideration it is important to consider the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when it is loaded with a growing baby and shopping bags. Take a look at the weight of your stroller and see whether you are able to lift it up the stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying an infant.

A buggy, pram or pushchair is made for babies who can sit and can be used until six months. The seat can be positioned to face you or away from you depending on how much you want your child to connect with you or explore the world.

Comfort

Many parents love the comfort of pushchairs - and there are plenty to choose from. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain and others aren't. The type of brake is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for instance is ideal for daily use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs, can be more responsive on an adventure.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not the pushchair is able to lie completely flat position for infants. Babies must be lying flat in a position to develop their spine, so it's worth choosing a pushchair that has this feature from the beginning. This will give your baby a peaceful nap or time to rest, which will allow more time for outdoor adventures and a healthier, happier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, it's essential to select a model that is compatible with your infant car seat. This will make it easy for you to transfer your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep the child calm and less agitated.

Some pushchairs feature a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to fix your chosen car seat to the frame. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood, and save money and time. Many brands also offer a travel bundles that include the carrycot, baby car seat, adaptors and footmuff all in one purchase.

A good suspension system is also important, especially for the front wheels. This can really make the difference when driving over rough terrain or city roads, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces easily while keeping your baby comfortable.

You might also want to consider other practical comfort features, such as a spacious basket (or separate bag) as well as the ability to recline handles, an adjustable seat and a hood that is ventilated. Having all of these features will allow you navigate through the country or town, and ensure your child has the best possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
