Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

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

A quality pushchair provides safety and comfort for your child, ease for you and a chance to bond and explore the world together. Find out what to look for when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

When selecting a stroller, parents are often concerned about how easy it is to fold. A true standout is the EeZeFold which features an amazing one-handed fold that allows you to hold your child while folding the buggy, meaning you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy also stays standing when folded, which means you don't have to worry about your child falling off or being injured during the process.

Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they can fit into the trunk of your car, which means they're ideal if you're a frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. Some are day-to-day buggies which take up a smaller amount of space than the typical pushchair but still have decent features such as a great recline and wheels that are lightweight. They are typically light enough to be able to be carried by hand and so Grandma or Grandad can use them if necessary.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth, since they come with a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. Some are travel system compatible so you can attach an automobile seat to your infant with one click.

While they don't have the tiny fold of a travel buggy, many Compact Pushchair pushchairs still require a small amount of space when they're folded with the seat on, so they're perfect for those who are tight of storage space in their homes or an apartment. They are also lightweight, and they often have a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really well-known pushchair in this category that is an ideal option for traveling as it folds by pressing a button. It is also very light, making it easy to use even on rough surfaces. It also has an outstanding suspension. The seat can be turned to face either the outside world or the parent and the hood can also be extended to provide extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller changes form to meet the requirements of families growing. It can begin as a single stroller, transform into a double stroller for children and even turn into 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 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 accommodate different configurations convertible compact strollers should also have adjustable features such as recline and height settings. They should also feature large handles that are easy to hold, making it easy for dad, mom or grandma 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 a number of children or loads of equipment.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is a first-of-its-kind that combines a fully-featured single stroller with an incline wagon, removing the need for parents to purchase separate products. It can be converted quickly and effortlessly into a single stroller or double stroller, with no need for tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle offer plenty of seating flexibility when being used as an actual wagon. The Larktale is heavier than our other top convertibles, but it has excellent maneuverability and can easily handle uphills. The main issue is the lack of storage space underneath the seat.

Safety

A quality pushchair should include many safety features like the five-point harness for babies. The harness should be able to fit over the shoulders and around the waist, and also between the legs. It is also important that the harness isn't loose and has no areas where a child may get their fingers stuck.

There are a variety of different pushchair brakes to choose from, so pick the one that is most suitable for your needs. A foot brake is the most commonly used and is ideal if you are likely to stop frequently such as when shopping. A lot of jogger-style pushchairs come with hand brakes. This is helpful when you are changing your momentum often, like when you run. Some pushchairs come with an active hand brake which operates by pressing a pedal with your foot. This is a great option for parents who are likely to be stopping and starting more often as it makes it easier to keep your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also worth checking whether the pushchair comes with a lockable front wheel. This can be very helpful for those who live on uneven terrain or steep hills. A lockable wheel on the front can prevent the pushchair from slipping away if you're in a hurry or have a lot of luggage in the rear.

Although it may seem like a minor consideration, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a pushchair that is light can be surprisingly heavy when stuffed with an expanding child and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair and determine whether you can carry it up stairs and into the trunk of your car while carrying an infant.

Buggy prams, pushchairs, or prams are designed for infants who can sit up. They are usually used after the age of six months. They have 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 handles, seat positions, and other accessories.

Comfort

Many parents appreciate the convenience features of pushchairs, and there are many to choose from. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain and others aren't. The brake type is another factor to consider. For instance, a foot brake is ideal for easy daily use, while an active hand brake found on pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive and simpler to operate when out on adventures.

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

If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, you need to get a model that is compatible with your chosen infant car seat. This makes it fast and simple to move your child from the car to the pushchair, reducing fuss and ensuring he's calm during his excursions.

Some pushchairs feature an adaptor for car seats that lets you easily attach your car seat to the frame. This means that you can use the same seat from birth to toddlerhood, reducing costs and hassle. Many brands also offer a travel bundle that includes infant car seat, adaptors and a footmuff all in one purchase.

Another important aspect of comfort is good suspension - especially on the front wheels. This can make a big difference when driving through rough terrain or urban streets, allowing you to get over bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping the baby in a comfortable position.

Other features for comfort that you should look for include a large shopping basket (or even a separate bag) as well as a reclining handle bar, an adjustable seat position and the hood that is ventilated. All of these features can assist you in navigating through the city or country and ensure that your child has the best sleep possible for the longest naps.
