Pushchairs - The Swiss Army Knife of Baby Transport

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

A quality pushchair will provide security and comfort to your child, convenience to you, and the opportunity for you and your baby to explore and bond. Find out what to consider when purchasing one.

Folding

When it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with how easy it is to fold. The most notable is the EeZeFold that has an incredible one-handed fold that lets you hold your child while folding the buggy, meaning that you don't have to switch between the two. The buggy is also stable when folded, which means you don't have to worry about the child falling out or getting harmed during this process.

Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they 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 compact buggies for everyday use that have a smaller footprint than the standard pushchair, but have features that are good, such as a good recline or lightweight wheels. They're also usually light enough to carry by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.

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

Many compact pushchairs are extremely compact when folded with the seat attached. They're ideal for those who are limited in storage space at home or in apartments. They're also light and many come with a raincover to shield them from the elements.

The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another very popular pushchair in this class that is an ideal choice for travelling as it can be folded one-handed by pressing one button. It's also light, making it simple for you to handle even on rough surfaces. It also comes with an excellent suspension. The seat can be rotated to face either the outside world or the parent, and the hood can also be extended to give you extra sun protection.

Convertible

A convertible stroller transforms its shape to meet the demands of growing families. It could be one stroller that converts into a double pushchair stroller to accommodate siblings, or even a triple stroller by adding an additional seat. Our top choice is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a stroller that can be used as a single or double pushchair. It can be converted to accommodate a bassinet, car seat for newborns, one or two toddler seats and even a third child with the use of adapters.

Convertible strollers should come with adjustable features, such as the height and recline settings. They should also feature large handles that are easy to hold, making it comfortable for dad, mom or grandma to push. And because these types of strollers typically contain more parts than traditional pushchairs, they will be more stable and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.

Larktale's crossover stroller/wagon, the first of its kind it combines a single stroller with a wagon. Parents no longer need to buy separate products. It can be converted quickly and easily to a double or single stroller without the need for tools or conversion kits, and offers the flexibility of seating with its second seat as well as a pull handle when in wagon mode. While the Larktale is a little heavier than our other top-rated convertibles has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. Its biggest drawback is limited storage under the seat.

Safety

A quality twin pushchair should include several safety features including a five point harness for babies. The harness should fit over shoulders and around the waist, as well as between the legs. It is also crucial that the harness doesn't come out of its place and that there are no areas where a child might get their fingers stuck.

There are a variety of different brakes for pushchairs, so pick the one that is most suitable for your needs. A foot brake is the most popular and is ideal if you are likely to stop a lot such as when shopping. Many jogger-style pushchairs have hand brakes. This is useful in situations where you have to change your speed frequently, such as when you run. Some pushchairs feature an active handbrake which you can activate by pressing a pedal on the bottom of your foot. This is a good choice for parents who need to stop and starting their pushchairs more often. It makes it easier to maintain your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.

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

While it might seem like a small consideration it is important to consider the weight of the stroller. Even a lightweight pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with a growing child and shopping bags. Check the weight of your pushchair and see whether you can carry it up stairs and into the boot of your car while carrying an infant.

A pram, buggy or pushchair is made for babies who can sit up and is typically used from 6 months. The seat can be positioned to face you or away from you, depending on how much you want your child to be close to you or explore the world. Many pushchairs can be adjusted to seats, handlebars and other accessories.

Comfort

There are many pushchairs with features that are comfortable for parents. Some are better suited to urban streets or rough terrain, while others are not. The type of brake is another aspect to take into consideration. For instance, a hand brake is great for, everyday use, whereas the hand brakes that are active on pushchairs with joggers can be more responsive and easy to operate on adventures.

One of the most important features of comfort is whether or not your pushchair is able to lie completely flat position for infants. It's important to choose a pushchair that has this feature from the beginning. This will let your baby grow into an upright position. This will allow your child to nap or rest in a comfortable position, allowing for longer outdoor excursions and a happier and healthier child.

It's important to choose a pushchair that's compatible with the infant car seat you have chosen. This makes it fast and easy to move your baby from the car into the pushchair, reducing fuss and keeping him calm throughout his outings.

Some pushchairs feature a smart car seat adaptor that allows you to easily attach your 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 system bundles that include infant car seat, adaptors and a footmuff all in one purchase.

Another important aspect of comfort is a great suspension - particularly on the front wheels. This can make a significant difference when driving through rough roads or in city streets, allowing you get over bumps and uneven surfaces with ease while keeping the baby in a comfortable position.

Other features for comfort that you should look out for include a spacious shopping basket (or even a separate bag), adjustable handle bar that can recline, adjustable seat and a ventilated hood. All of these features can assist you in navigating across the country or around town and ensure that your child has the best travel stroller possible sleep for the longest nap possible.
