Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

A pushchair is also referred to as a stroller, buggy or pram and car seat. It's the Swiss Army knife of baby transportation. These baby-chariots can be used on any surface, from busy streets to rough terrain.

A good pushchair will provide safety and comfort for your child, ease for you and a chance to explore the world together. Learn more about what to look for when selecting one.

Folding

One of the main features that a lot of parents are looking for when selecting a pushchair is how easy it is to fold. A standout is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that allows you to hold your child while folding Pushchair the buggy, which means that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy stays upright when folded, which means you don't have to worry about the child falling out or being injured during the process.

Some of the really compact folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so compactly that they fit into the boot of your car, so they're ideal for frequent traveller or have a smaller car boot. Others are day-to-day buggies that are smaller in size of space than the typical pushchair but still come with decent features like a good recline and light-weight wheels. They are typically light enough to be carried with hand which means that Grandma or Grandad can use them in the event of need.

Some pushchairs can be used from birth, and some come with a lie-flat seats or carrycot option. They might also be compatible with travel systems which means you can connect an infant car seat to the frame in one click.

Although they're not as tiny fold of a travel buggy, many compact pushchairs require a small amount of space when they're folded with the seat on and are ideal for those short on storage space in their home or live 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 in this category, can be folded with one hand by pressing a button. It's ideal to travel with because it's easy to fold. It's also extremely lightweight, making it easy to handle on rough surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the outside world or the parent facing pram, and the hood can also be extended to offer additional sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller can change form to meet the requirements of families that are growing. It can be one stroller that converts into a double stroller to accommodate siblings, or even a triple stroller with the addition of the third seat. The UppaBaby Vista V2 is our top pick. It's a multi-purpose single to double stroller that can be converted to accommodate a car seat or bassinet for newborns, two toddler seats, or even a third child with adapters.

Convertible strollers must have adjustable features, like the height and recline settings. They should also have large handles that are easy to grip, making it comfortable for mom, dad or grandma to push. Also, since these types of strollers often have more parts than traditional pushchairs they need to be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of equipment.

Larktale's crossover stroller/wagon, a first of its kind that is a stroller that can be used as a wagon. Parents do not need to purchase separate products. It is quick and easy to convert into a single or double stroller with no tools or conversion kits. It also offers the flexibility of seating with its second seat as well as a pull handle when it is in wagon mode. The Larktale is bulkier than the other convertibles we have rated top-rated however it is a great maneuverability and is able to easily climb the hills. The biggest issue is the limited storage under the seat. Click here for more information.

Safety

A great pushchair should come with 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 essential that the harness doesn't come loose, and that there aren't any places where fingers of children could be stuck.

There are many different brakes for pushchairs, so pick the one that is most suitable for your lifestyle. The most commonly used brake is one that is a foot brake. It's great when you frequently stop for example, when you shop. A lot of jogger-style pushchairs come with hand brakes. This is helpful when you are changing your momentum frequently, for example when you run. Some pushchairs have an active handbrake that you can activate by pressing a pedal on the bottom of your foot. This is a great option for parents who need to stop and starting their pushchairs more often. It allows you to stay in your position while applying pressure to the wheels.

Examine if the front wheel of the pushchair can be locked. This is particularly beneficial for those who live in areas with uneven terrain or steep slopes. A lockable front wheel can help to prevent the pushchair from slipping away in a hurry or if there is a lot of baggage in the back.

While it may appear to be a minor issue 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 child and shopping bags. Make sure you know the weight of the pushchair and think about whether you'd be in a position to lift it into your car's boot and up flights of stairs while holding a toddler and juggling a coffee from a takeaway.

A buggy, pram newborn or pushchair is made for babies who sit up and is generally used until six months. They have seats that can be oriented toward you to bond with you and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs come with adjustable handlebars, seat positions and other accessories.

Comfort

There are a variety of pushchairs with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are more suitable for rough terrain or city streets, while others are not. The type of brake is a different aspect to consider. For instance, a hand brake is perfect for simple daily use, while the hand brake that is active on pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive and easy to operate when out on adventures.

One of the most important aspects of comfort is whether or not your pushchair has a full lie flat position for infants. Babies must be in a completely flat position to help them develop their spines, so it's worth choosing a pushchair with this feature right from the start. This will give 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 going to be using a car seat in conjunction with your pushchair, it's essential to select a model that is compatible with the infant car seat. This will make it easier for you to move your child from the car to the pushchair. It will also keep him calm and minimize the amount of fuss.

Some pushchairs have a smart adaptor for car seats, which allows you to quickly connect your car seat. You can use the seat from birth until toddlerhood and save time and money. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, as well as the footmuff in one purchase.

Another essential aspect for comfort is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a big difference when driving over rough roads or urban streets, allowing you to move over bumps and uneven surfaces easily while keeping your the baby in a comfortable position.

Other useful comfort features you should look for include a large shopping basket (or even an additional bag) and a adjustable handle bar that can recline, adjustable seat position and an air-conditioned hood. All of these features will assist you to navigate your way around town or country and ensure that your child gets the best sleep possible for his longest naps.
