These baby-chariots can be used on any terrain, from crowded streets to rough terrain.A good pushchair will offer security and comfort to your baby, convenience to you, and the chance for you both to spend time together and play. Read on to find out what to look for when picking one.FoldingWhen it comes to choosing a stroller many parents are concerned with the ease to fold. The EeZeFold is unique because it features a one-handed fold that allows you to hold the baby while folding the buggy. This means that you don't need to juggle the two. The buggy is stable when folded so you don't need to worry about your child getting out.Some of the smaller folding pushchairs (like the Babyzen YOYO) are designed to fold so small they can fit in the trunk of your car, so they're ideal for frequent traveler or have a smaller car boot. Some are small buggies designed for everyday use, which have a smaller footprint than the typical pushchair, yet provide decent features like a good recline or lightweight wheels. They're also usually lightweight enough to be carried by hand, and therefore can be used by Grandma or Grandad if needed.Some pushchairs can be used from birth, and some have a lie-flat seat or carrycot option. They could also be compatible with travel systems, so you can attach an infant car seat to the frame in a single click.Many compact pushchairs are very compact when folded with the seat attached. They're great for people who have a limited storage space at home or live in apartments. They're also lightweight and often come with a rain cover to shield them from the elements.The Ergobaby Pivot 360 is another really popular pushchair in this class, which is an excellent option for travel because it can be folded one-handed by simply pressing the button. It's also extremely light, making it easy to maneuver on uneven surfaces, and comes with excellent suspension. The seat can rotate to switch between parent-facing and world-facing. The hood can be extended to provide extra protection and coverage from the sun.ConvertibleA convertible stroller can be altered to meet the needs of families that are growing. double buggy can be a single stroller that transforms into a double stroller in order to accommodate children, or a triple stroller when you add an additional seat. Our top pick is the UppaBaby Vista V2, is a versatile single-to-double stroller that converts to accommodate a bassinet, car seat for newborns, one or two toddler seats and even an additional child through the use of adapters.Apart from changing shape to adjust for different configurations convertible strollers should also have adjustable features, such as recline and height settings. They should have large, easy-to-grip handles that are comfortable for moms, dads or grandmas to push. And because these types of strollers typically contain more parts than traditional pushchairs, they should be more sturdy and less likely to fall over when carrying several children or loads of gear.The Larktale crossover stroller/wagon is the first of its kind that combines a fully-featured single stroller with the pull wagon, removing the necessity for parents to purchase separate products. It is able to convert quickly and easily into a single stroller or double stroller, without the necessity of tools or conversion kits. The second seat and pull handle give ample seating space when being used as a wagon. While the Larktale is a little heavier than some of our other top-rated convertibles has great maneuverability and maneuvers well over hills. The main drawback is the lack of storage space under the seat.

It should be placed over the shoulders, around the waist, and between the legs. It is also essential that the harness doesn't become loose and has no areas where a baby could get their fingers stuck.Select the brake that best suits your lifestyle. The most common brake is a foot brake. It's a great option if you frequently stop, like when you shop. A lot of jogger-style pushchairs come with hand brakes. This is useful if you will be changing your momentum frequently, for example when running. Some pushchairs have an active handbrake which you can activate by pressing a pedal at the bottom of your foot. This is a great option for parents who are likely to be stopping and starting more often since it helps to maintain your balance while applying pressure to the wheels.It is also worth checking whether the pushchair has a lockable front wheel. This is a great feature for those who live in uneven terrain or steep hills. A lockable front wheel can help to prevent the pushchair from moving away in a rush or there is a large amount of baggage in the back.While it might seem like something of a minor issue but the weight of the pushchair is something you need to bear in mind too. Even a light pushchair can be quite heavy when stuffed with a growing infant and shopping bags. Examine the weight of your pushchair and see whether you are able to lift it up a flight of stairs and into the trunk of your car, while carrying an infant.Buggy prams, pushchairs, or prams are made for babies who can sit up. They are usually used after the age of six months. They have seats that can face both towards you for bonding and away from you to explore the world. Many pushchairs come with adjustable handlebars, seat positions and other accessories.ComfortThere are a variety of pushchairs with features for comfort that parents love. Certain models are better suited for rough terrain or city streets than others and the type of brake is another factor to consider. A foot brake, for example is ideal for everyday use. A hand brake that is active, found on jogger-style pushchairs is more responsive on an adventure.The capacity of your pushchair to allow infants to lie flat is among the most important features. Babies must be lying flat in a position to help develop their spine, so it's worth choosing a pushchair that has this feature from the beginning. This will give your baby a comfortable nap or rest, making more time for outdoor adventures and a happier, healthier child.If you're planning on using a car seat with your pushchair, it's important to choose a car seat that is compatible with your 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 come with a smart car seat adaptor that lets you easily attach your car seat to the frame. This means that you can use the same seat from birth until toddlerhood, saving money and hassle. Many brands offer a travel package that includes a baby car seat, a carrycot and adaptors, along with a footmuff, all in one purchase.Another important aspect of comfort is a good suspension, especially on the front wheels. This can make a huge difference when you drive on rough terrain or city roads that allow you to navigate bumps and uneven surfaces easily while keeping your baby comfy.You might also want to think about other practical comfort features, like a spacious basket (or separate bag), the ability to recline handles as well as an adjustable seat and a ventilated hood.
