A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is an excellent option for newborns and infants. Many of these pushchairs feature an upholstered seat that can be used from the moment of birth. They also integrate with many travel systems.

Some can also be converted, allowing them to convert to a double using the addition of another seat or carrycot. This makes them a good option for parents who are expecting an additional child in the near future.

Convertible

A convertible single pushchair is a great choice for parents who want to reduce space and cost. It starts as an infant stroller with all the features that can be used by a baby, and then can easily be converted into a wagon for two children. This unique stroller/wagon combination has numerous features that parents appreciate such as an additional seat as well as a handy pull handle for wagon mode. It also features an adjustable headrest and harness straps as well as a basket for storing items, and a retractable canopy.

In addition, the single pushchair convertible can accommodate a second infant car seat by using the adapter. It also has a large undercarriage that can be used for grocery and other grocery shopping. It is heavier than other single strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable and more likely to tip over if loaded up with too much heavy weight. The single pushchair convertible is also a challenge to use because you must thread and tie the seat straps every time you switch between stroller or wagon.

Lightweight

If you're seeking a single pushchair that is quick and most comfortable to carry you can't go wrong with the Babyzen Yoyo. This stroller is only 6kg and can be easily carried by hand or put into the trunk of your car. You can buy a cot to transform this stroller into a pram suitable for babies. There are also many accessories, including rain covers, reversible seats baby cosy feetmuffs, straps for carrying and more. It features a recliner that can be operated by one hand and is compact when folded. This is a great light option for travel as it can withstand moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This could be a full pram, a travel system with bassinets or an infant car seat that has a lie-flat base. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't remain in a seated position for too long. They might need to be transferred to a standing pushchair or cot in a short time.

If you're looking for a single buggy to use from birth, you should look for one with a fully reclining seat unit. This can be linked up with a newborn pod (usually the case for travel systems that have detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs have a fabric cocoon which can be affixed to the chassis and offers the same effect but without the requirement for an additional car seat.

Some single pushchairs have a parent facing option which allows you to keep an eye on your little one and give them plenty of comfort in the early stages. Some Jane models come with this feature in the standard version. They are great for parents who are just starting out.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice for those who want to take their child to a walk on bumpy or uneven terrain. They are easy to maneuver and have three wheels for maximum stability. They are often narrower and lighter in the front, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

If you intend to use your pushchair on rough or uneven terrain, look for one with high performance tyres with a puncture-resistant design. They're a great alternative to air tyres and provide excellent grip on rocky or sandy surfaces.

A rain cover or a comfy footmuff can also be a good addition as they offer additional protection from the elements. Many of these products are machine washable, saving you the headache of cleaning up spills and crumbs. A seat liner can offer an extra level of comfort for your children and protect the fabric of your pushchair from spillages. If your child starts to feel cold, a cozy pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.

Safety

A pram, pushchair or buggy must have a five-point safety harness that will prevent your child from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. The harness should be snugly fitted around the waist and shoulders and have a secure attachment. The straps should be adjustable and the harness should rest on the chest of the child, not lower or higher than their stomach.

A single wheel stroller-to-double pushchair such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily be converted into the role of a second carrycot or seat by adding a set tandem adaptors for about PS50, which add an additional space on the chassis to accommodate your other baby's chair or carrycot. It's an excellent choice for parents who are expecting twins or have children of similar age. However it can be a challenge to maneuver around tight spaces, since you need to place the second seat behind the first.

Consider a convertible stroller if you are planning to have an additional child. They can be used in single and tandem modes and some brands like CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave allow you to customise the design with an additional seat, a second carrycot, or ride-on board to allow them to grow with your family.

A lot of pushchairs come with raincovers as standard, and these can be useful for quick stops or in the event that there is a significant rain. It's also worth checking whether your pushchair has an umbrella that can provide UV protection for your children.

A shopping basket can help you keep your shopping in one place and keep it from falling out of the stroller. It is also a good idea to consider investing in an upholstered pushchair, which will protect the seat against food spillages and staining.

A pushchair, pram or buggy requires regular cleaning to ensure that it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on maintenance and care and make sure that it is in compliance with all safety standards.
