A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is an excellent option for newborns and infants. Many of them come with an adjustable seat that can be used for use right from birth and can be used with a variety of travel systems.

Some are convertible, allowing you to convert them into a double by adding an additional seat or carrycot. This makes them a great option for parents who are expecting an additional child in the near future.

Convertible

A single convertible pushchair is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money and space. It is initially a fully-featured stroller that is able to accommodate a newborn, and then easily transforms into a wagon that holds two children. This first-of-its-kind stroller/wagon combo has numerous features that parents appreciate, including an extra seat and a convenient pull handle that can be used in wagon mode. It also has a headrest that can be adjusted, as well as harness straps as well as a basket for storing items, and an adjustable canopy.

The single pushchair convertible allows for a second seat for infants using the adapter included. It has a big undercarriage to store groceries and other items. It weighs more than other single strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver in small spaces. It's also less stable and will likely to tip over when loaded up with too much heavy weight. Additionally, the convertible single pushchair isn't always easy to use since it requires you to re-thread seat straps and zip each time you change between stroller and wagon.

Lightweight

Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for people who are looking for something simple to use and fast. This stroller weighs just 6kg and is able to fit into the boot of a car or be carried by hand. You can buy an extension for cots to transform it into a stroller suitable for infants and there are a variety of accessories like rain covers, reversible seat liner, baby comfortable footmuff, carry strap and more. It features a recliner that can be operated by one hand and folds down to a compact size when folded. It is a great light option for travelling overseas as it can handle moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. It could be a full-size pram, a travel set that includes bassinet, or an infant car seat with an elongated base. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies should not be left in a seated position for too long. They may need to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot in an hour or so.

If you are looking for a single stroller to use from birth, choose one with a fully-reclining seat unit. It can be set with a baby pod (usually the case with travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with a fabric cocoon which can be attached to the chassis, and gives a similar effect but without the requirement for a separate car seat.

Some single pushchairs come with an option for parents that lets you keep a close eye on your child and offer security during the initial stages. Certain Jane models have this feature as standard. They are great for parents who are just starting out.

All-terrain pushchairs are a great choice for those who want to take their baby for a stroll over uneven or bumpy terrain. They are easy to maneuver and come with three wheels for maximum stability. They're usually smaller at the front and lightweight, so they can be manoeuvred in tight spaces.

If you are planning to use your pushchair on uneven or rough terrain, look for one with high-performance tyres which have a puncture resistant design. These tyres are a great alternative to air tyres and provide excellent grip on rocky or uneven surfaces.

A rain cover or cozy footmuff are also good additions as they offer additional protection against the elements. A lot of these items are machine washable, saving you the trouble of cleaning up spills and crumbs. A seat liner will provide extra comfort for your children and 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 pram, pushchair 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. The harness should be snugly fitted around the waist and shoulders and be secured. The straps should be adjustable, and the harness should rest in a comfortable position on the chest of the child and not lower than the belly or higher than the back.

A single-to-double pushchair such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily take on a second seat or carrycot by incorporating a set of tandem adaptors, which cost around PS50 and adding a second location on the chassis to accommodate your other baby's seat or carrycot. It's a great choice for parents who are expecting twins or have children who are similar in age. However, it can be difficult to maneuver through tight spaces, as it is necessary to put the second seat behind the first.

Consider a convertible stroller if intend to have another child. These can be used in tandem or single person buggy mode. Certain brands, such as CYBEX or Silver Cross Wave, allow the user to personalize their design with an extra seat, second carrycot or a ride-on board.

Many pushchairs have raincovers as standard, and can be helpful to stop quickly or in the event of a heavy rainfall. Check if your stroller comes with sun canopy to protect your children from UV radiation.

Finally, a shopping basket is essential to store your items and keep all your shopping within reach so it's less likely to fall out of the pushchair. You might also want to think about investing in an upholstered pushchair that will shield the seat from food spills and staining.

A pram, pushchair or buggy requires regular cleaning to ensure that it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends a gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap or detergent. It is also essential to review the manufacturer's guidelines for care and maintenance and to ensure that the product meets all safety standards in force.
