Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair, also known as a buggy, pram shops near me or stroller, is like the Swiss army knife of infant transport. These baby-chariots can handle any surface, from busy streets to rough terrain.

A quality pushchair provides comfort and safety for your baby, convenience for you and the chance to explore the world together. Find out what to consider when you are buying a pushchair.

Folding

One of the key features that a lot of parents are looking for when they choose a pushchair is how easy it folds. A standout is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while folding the buggy. This means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy is also stable when folded, which means you do not have to worry about the child falling out or causing injury during this process.

Some of the most compact 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 tiny car boot. Some are small buggies designed for everyday use, which have a smaller footprint than the average pushchair, but still offer decent features such as a comfortable recline or light wheels. They're also usually light enough to carry by hand, and Convertible Strollers therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

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

Many compact cheap pushchairs are very compact when folded with the seat attached. They're ideal for those who have limited storage space at home or in apartments. They're also light and usually come with a rain cover to protect them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this category it is an excellent option for traveling as it can be folded one-handed with a simple press of the button. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and it has excellent suspension. The seat can be turned to face either the world or the parent and the hood can be extended to give you extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be altered to meet the demands of families that are growing. It can be a single stroller that transforms into a double stroller in order to accommodate more siblings, or a triple stroller by adding the third seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top pick. It's a multi-purpose stroller that is able to be transformed to accommodate a car seat, a bassinet for infants, two toddler seats, or even a third child using adapters.

Apart from changing shape to adjust for different configurations, convertible strollers should offer adjustable features like height and reclining. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for dads, moms or grandmas to push. These strollers are more stable than traditional pushchairs as they are made up of more components.

Larktale's new crossover stroller/wagon is a first of its kind it is a stroller that can be used as a wagon. Parents do not have to purchase separate items. It can be converted quickly and easily to a single stroller or a double stroller, without the necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give ample seating space when used as a wagon. The Larktale is heavier than our other top-rated convertibles, but it has excellent maneuverability and can easily handle the hills. The biggest issue is the small storage space under the seat.

Safety

A good pushchair should have many safety features including a five point harness for infants. The harness should fit over shoulders and around the waist as well as between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't become loose, and there aren't any areas that children's fingers might get stuck.

Pick the brake that is best suited to your lifestyle. A foot brake is the most popular and ideal for those who are likely to stop often like when you go shopping. A hand brake is seen on a lot of jogger-style pushchairs, and is more appropriate if you are going to be able to change momentum frequently, like when you go for an exercise. Some pushchairs have an active handbrake that can activate by pressing a pedal at the bottom of your foot. This is a good choice for Convertible strollers parents who are stopping and beginning their pushchairs more frequently. It helps to stay in your position while applying pressure to the wheels.

Verify that the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This is particularly useful for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A wheel lockable on the front can stop the pushchair from slipping away if you're in a hurry or have lots of luggage in the rear.

Even though it may seem like a minor consideration it is important to consider the weight of the stroller. Even a small pushchair can become quite heavy when it is loaded with a growing baby and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair and determine if you can lift it up stairs and into the trunk of your car, while carrying the toddler.

Buggy, pram, or pushchairs are designed for babies that can sit up. They are usually used after six months. The seat can be positioned towards you or away from you depending on whether you want your child to connect with you or explore the world. Many pushchairs have adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs that come with features for comfort that parents love. Some are more suited to urban streets or rough terrain than others and the brake type is another factor to take into consideration. For example, a foot brake is great for daily use, whereas an active hand brake found on jogger style pushchairs can be more responsive and simpler to operate on adventures.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not the pushchair is able to lie completely flat position for babies. It is crucial to select an infant pushchair with this feature from the moment of birth. This will let your baby grow into a straight position. This will allow your child to sleep or relax in a comfortable position, allowing for longer outdoor excursions and a more relaxed and healthier child.

If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, you need to select a model that is compatible with your chosen infant car seat. This makes it fast and easy to move 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 enables you to easily attach your car seat. It is possible to use the seat from birth to toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands also offer a travel bundle that includes infant car seat, adaptors and a footmuff all in one purchase.

A good suspension system is also important particularly for the front wheels. This can make a big difference when driving on rough roads or in urban streets, allowing you to move over bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping the baby in a comfortable position.

You may also want to consider other practical comfort features, like the capacity of a large basket (or separate bag) with the ability to recline handles, an adjustable seat and a hood that is ventilated. These features will aid you in your travels through the city or country and make sure that your child gets the best possible rest for the longest nap possible.
