Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair is also known as a stroller, buggy or pram. It's the Swiss Army knife of infant transportation. These baby-chariots can handle any terrain, from crowded streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will provide security and comfort for your baby, convenience for you, and an opportunity to bond and explore the world together. Find out what to look for when buying one.

Folding

One of the main aspects that a lot of parents are looking for when selecting a pushchair is how easy it is to fold. The most notable is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your baby while folding pushchair the buggy. This means you don't have to juggle between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, meaning you don't need to be concerned about your child falling 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 trunk of your car, which means they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a small car boot. Some are day-to-day buggies which are smaller in size of space than a standard pushchair but still come with decent features such as a great recline and lightweight wheels. They are typically light enough to be able to be carried by hand, so Grandma or Grandad can use them if necessary.

The majority of these pushchairs are targeted towards toddlers and older infants as they can sit up, but some have a lie-flat chair and the option of adding a carrycot to make them suitable from birth. They may also be travel system compatible and allow you to attach an infant car seat to the frame with one click.

Although they don't have the tiny fold of a travel strollers buggy, the majority of compact pushchairs take up very little space when they're folded with the seat in and are ideal for those who are short on storage space in their home or in an apartment. They are also lightweight, and many have a rain cover to protect them against the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360, another popular pushchair from this category can be folded with just the press of a button. It's great for traveling as it is easy to fold. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat rotates to switch between parent-facing and the world, and the hood can be extended for extra protection and coverage from the sun.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can be reshaped to meet the needs of growing families. It could be one stroller that converts into a double stroller in order to accommodate children, or a triple stroller when you add the third seat. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a bassinet, car seat for newborns, one or two toddler seats, and even a third child by the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers should come with adjustable features, like height and reclining settings. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for moms, dads or grandmas to push. These strollers are more sturdy than traditional pushchairs due to the fact that they have more parts.

The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is the first of its kind that combines a fully-featured single stroller with a pull wagon, eliminating the necessity for parents to purchase separate products. It quickly and easily converts into a single or double stroller without the need for tools or conversion kits. It also offers ample seating options with its second seat as well as a pull handle when used in wagon mode. Although the Larktale is a bit bulkier than our other top-rated convertibles is very maneuverable and can be maneuvered well over hills. Its biggest drawback is limited storage under the seat.

Safety

A good running pushchair will have numerous safety features, such as a five-point harness that is suitable for the baby. The harness should fit over the shoulders and around the waist, and also between the legs. It is crucial that the harness doesn't come loose, and that there are no areas that children's fingers might be stuck.

There are a variety of different pushchair brakes available so choose the one that best suits your needs. The most popular brake is one that is a foot brake. It's great when you have to stop frequently for example, when you go shopping. A hand brake is found on many jogger style pushchairs, and is more appropriate if you are going to frequently change your momentum, for instance, when going for an exercise. Some pushchairs feature an active handbrake that can activate by pressing a button on the bottom of your foot. This is a good option for parents who are stopping and starting their pushchairs more often. It helps to keep your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

It is also important to determine whether the pushchair comes with an adjustable front wheel that locks. This is extremely beneficial 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 luggage in the rear.

Even though it might seem like a small consideration, you should also consider the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when loaded with a growing child and shopping bags. Be sure to check the weight of the item and think about whether you'd be capable of lifting it into the car boot and then up a flight of stairs while holding a toddler and juggling a coffee from a takeaway.

Buggy or running pram are designed for infants who can sit up. They are typically used after 6 months. The seat can be positioned towards you or away from you depending on the preference of your child to connect with you or explore the world. Many pushchairs feature adjustable seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs that come with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are more suited to rough terrain or city streets than others, and the brake type is also a factor to take into consideration. A foot brake, for instance is ideal for daily use. An active hand brake, found on jogger-style pushchairs can be more responsive when on an adventure.

The capacity of your pushchair to allow newborns to lie flat is among the most important characteristics. Babies must be lying flat in a position to help them develop their spine, and it is important to choose a pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will give your baby a comfortable nap or a rest, allowing for longer outdoor excursions and a happier, healthier child.

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

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

Another crucial comfort feature is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when driving over rough roads or in urban streets, allowing you to navigate bumps and uneven surface without difficulty while keeping your baby comfortable.

You may also want to consider other practical features, like an ample basket (or separate bag) with reclining handles, an adjustable seat and a ventilated hood. These features will assist you in navigating across the country or around town and make sure that your child gets the best sleep possible for the longest naps.
