What is a pushchair?

A pushchair, also known as a buggy, is an essential baby item for getting out and around. It helps parents connect with their newborn or baby and be able to enjoy family life.

However, choosing the right pushchair for your child is a major choice and there are many different options to choose from. At Direct4Baby we suggest to take the time to consider your options prior to making a purchase. There are many things to consider, including the age of your child as well as the frequency you're likely to use it.

There are a variety of buggies to choose from with a range of single to triple buggies. The majority of pushchairs are designed for babies aged from birth to about four years of age. These pushchairs are designed to be safe and have features that keep your baby secure. For instance, the majority come with a five-point harness that secures your baby in place and prevents them from falling out of their seat. Two straps are secured around the shoulders, and two straps are put on the hips. Another strap is placed between the legs.

Some pushchairs are able to hold twins side by side, or in tandem. Others are able to accommodate carseats as well as the carry cot. They are akin to travel systems. No matter if you opt for either a triple or a double pushchair, it's important that the product you choose will give your child the best possible experience and comfort.

The main distinction between a stroller and a pram is that a pushchair is suited for children who sit up in a chair and is usually forward-facing. A pram is specifically designed for newborns and infants. It usually comes with a carry cot or bassinet. Some prams are able to be converted into pushchairs, allowing you to switch between the two as your child grows.

Another major difference between a pram and a pushchair is the fact that most pushchairs come with a reclining seat. This allows your child to lie flat and is particularly important for newborns and babies as experts advise that they should lie flat for the first few months of their lives in order to improve their breathing and head control.

What is a buggy?

A buggy could be a carriage pulled by horses for two or more passengers. It can have four or two wheels and typically comes with a hood or a folding top. It was once a popular mode of transportation in the United States, and some Amish communities still use it to this day. Buggy is similar to a phaeton or a wagon however it is smaller and has less space in the back.

The etymological origins of buggy is not clear but it could be rooted in the Middle English word bugge, which meant something scary or ominous. It was originally a word to describe a stately coach, but was later used to describe a simple vehicle for short journeys. It also serves as a slang for small motorized carts or a gasoline or electric powered vehicle.

There are a variety of buggy, each with their own purpose. Two-wheeled carts are by far the most common type and are primarily used for short, local trips. Wagons are four-sided vehicles that can carry heavier loads, are used by both passengers and cargo. Phaetons are more fashionable buggies that can be used for long journeys or to carry a high-profile person. Hacks are used to transport livestock and bulky items.

Buggy is also used as a slang word for things that are difficult or difficult to deal with like a terribly slow computer or an unreliable pushchair. It is also used to describe a weather condition that is damp or unpleasant like a rainy or humid day.

In certain regions where the word "buggy" can also refer to shopping carts. For instance the newspaper The Corona Daily Independent (CA) reported that a woman fell on her shopping cart in a supermarket in 1943. Other usages of the term include an informal name for a child’s pram, also known as a mining cart or a motorized cart used to transport cargo along dunes or sandy beaches.

What is the difference between an infant pushchair and a baby pram?

A pushchair is a similar product to a stroller, however it is designed for babies that can sit up straight. The seat can be adjusted to several recline positions, and often come with a safety belt to ensure your child's safety. They are lightweight and compact and can easily be moved around different terrains. Many pushchairs are reversible to allow your baby to look at you or the world to reassure, or towards you to explore their surroundings.

Prams are made for infants and newborns. They come with a sturdy and deep carrycot which your baby can lay on, along with soft walls and a comfy mattress. Most prams are parent facing pram-facing so your baby can look at you, which is crucial to build trust and strengthen bonds. As your baby grows, they may wish to see the world more and struggle to sit in their pram. This is when you'll have to change to a pushchair.

There are prams that can be converted into strollers or pushchairs, which is great in the event that your baby grows and you want to switch between them. You can take off the frame and carry cot to create room for your baby from birth, and then transform it into a pushchair when they are ready to make the transition.

It is essential to ensure that the seat of a pushchair is able to be fully reclined, since this is crucial for newborns. This can be a difficult feature to determine, as some pushchairs are merely described as 'reclining' which does not mean they are able to lie flat. Look for a pushchair which is able to be used from birth, or a pram or travel system that includes a carrycot that can be used from birth.

You should also consider how it's easy to clean your pushchair car seat since you're likely to find more drools and spills the future than you'd expect. Ideally, you'll be able to clean the entire seat and chassis easily, and then choose machine washable and removable fabrics.

What should I look for when buying a pushchair?

A pushchair is likely to be one of your most important baby purchases. It's important to consider all the details prior to spending your hard-earned money.

The most important thing to consider is whether it is suitable for your family's lifestyle and requirements. If you're likely to be on the go frequently with your child, then you'll probably need an easy-to-use, compact pushchair that will fold down to a size that could fit in the car boot or take up less room in public transport.

If you have twins or babies who are similar in age it is possible to buy a double stroller which can seat both children simultaneously. You may also wish to purchase a footmuff, or a parasol for additional comfort and to protect your child from sun.

It's also worth considering whether you're satisfied with the pushchair's appearance, and if it's going to look good several years down the road. You are likely to be using your pushchair for a while, so it's best to choose a model that you enjoy even when your child is a toddler.

Wheel type and quality are equally important, since you want a pushchair which can manage different terrains such as pavements and grass. You can upgrade the standard wheels on most pushchairs to all-terrain durable wheels that permit you to travel off-road as well as in muddy fields.

Lastly, if you will be transporting your pushchair often up and down stairs it is recommended to choose a model that has a simple and convenient folding mechanism. Some models fold with one hand while others can be upright when folded. This makes them easier to transport up and down stairs.

Based on your budget There are a myriad of brands of pushchair to choose from. For a budget-friendly model look at Graco, Chico, Cuggl or Kinderkraft for a more affordable option, or if you are looking for something more mid-priced look into John Lewis, Cybex, Silver Cross or some Joie models. If you have a bigger budget, then there are some high-end alternatives that are available from brands like Bugaboo, Cosatto and iCandy.
