A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is a fantastic option for infants and newborns. Many of these pushchairs have a flat seat that can be used from the moment of birth. They also integrate with a variety of travel systems.

Some can also be converted, allowing them to be converted to a double using the addition of a second seat or carrycot. This makes them a great choice for parents-to-be expecting another child in the near future.

Convertible

A single convertible pushchair is a fantastic choice for parents who want to save money and space. It is an infant stroller with all the features needed to be used by a baby, and then can easily be converted into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This first-of-its-kind stroller/wagon combo has many features that parents love such as an additional seat as well as a handy pull handle that can be used in wagon mode. It also has an adjustable harness strap and a headrest, a basket for storage, and an adjustable sun canopy.

The single pushchair convertible can be used as a second baby seat with the adapter included. It has a large undercarriage to store things like groceries and other items. The downside is that it weighs more than other single strollers, and could be harder to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable and more likely to tip over if loaded with too heavy weight. The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model is also difficult to use since you need to weave and secure the seat straps each when you switch between stroller or wagon.

Lightweight

If you're seeking a single pushchair that is the quickest and easiest to carry look no further than the Babyzen Yoyo. It weighs just 6kg in weight and can be easily carried by hand or tucked into the trunk of your car. You can purchase an extension for your cot to turn it into a stroller suitable for infants and there are plenty of add ons like rain covers, reversible seat liner, a baby comfortable footmuff, carry strap and more. It features a recliner that can be operated by one hand and is compact when folded. This is a great lightweight option for traveling abroad as it is able to handle moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This could be a full-size pram, a travel set with bassinet, or an infant car seat that has an elongated base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies should not be kept in the seated position for too long, so they may have to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot within a short period of time.

If you're looking for a single buggy to use from birth, choose one with a fully-reclining seat unit. This can be linked up with a newborn pod (usually the case for travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single stroller pushchair pushchairs come with a fabric cocoon that can be affixed to their chassis. This gives the same effect, but without having to purchase a car seat separately.

Some single pushchairs include an option for parents that lets you keep an eye on your child's progress and provide security during the initial stages. Some Jane models have this feature by default. They are great for new parents.

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

If you plan to use your pushchair on rough or uneven terrain, look for one with high performance tyres with a puncture-resistant design. These tyres can be a great alternative to air tyres, and offer excellent grip on rocky or uneven surfaces.

A rain cover and a comfortable footmuffs can also be beneficial as they provide additional protection from the elements. These items can be washed by machines to save you from the hassle of cleaning up spillages or dust. A seat liner can provide additional comfort to your children and also protect the fabric of your stroller from spillages. If your child begins to feel cold, a warm pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.

Safety

A pushchair, pram or buggy must have a five-point safety harness that will keep your child safe from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. Make sure the harness is snugly positioned over shoulders and around the waist, and is securely connected. The straps should be adjustable and the harness should rest level on the child's chest and not lower than the belly or higher than the back.

A combi single stroller-to-double pushchair such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily be converted into a second seat or carrycot by adding a set tandem adaptors, which cost approximately PS50 that add a second location on the chassis for your other baby's chair or carrycot. However, while it's an excellent option for parents who are expecting twins or siblings close in age, it can be tricky to maneuver through tight spaces since it requires that you put one seat and the second carrycot directly behind the other.

Consider a convertible stroller when you are planning to have a second child. These are able to be used in single and tandem models and certain brands like CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to personalize the design with an additional seat, second carrycot or ride-on board so they can develop with your family.

A lot of pushchairs come with raincovers that can be used to make short stops or in the event of heavy rain. Make sure your pushchair is equipped with an umbrella that can protect your children from UV rays.

A shopping basket is essential for storage and will keep everything you need to shop within reach so it's less likely to fall out of the pushchair. You might also want to consider investing in an upholstered pushchair that protects the seat against food spillages and stains.

A pram, a pushchair or buggy requires regular cleaning to ensure that it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends a gentle clean using warm water and mild soap or detergent. Check the manufacturer's instructions on maintenance and care and ensure that the product meets all safety standards.
