A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is a great option for newborns and infants. A lot of these pushchairs come with a flat seat that can be used from birth. They are also compatible with many travel systems.

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

Convertible

A single pushchair that converts to a convertible model is a great option for parents who want to reduce space and cost. It begins as an all-inclusive stroller that can be used for newborns and later easily converts into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This unique combination of a wagon and stroller has many features parents love like an extra seat and a convenient pull handle to convert it into a wagon. It also comes with adjustable harness straps and headrest, a basket for storage, and an adjustable sun canopy.

The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model also allows for a second seat for infants with the adapter included. It also has a big 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 smaller spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and more likely to tip over in the event that you load it with too much weight. Additionally, the convertible single pushchair isn't easy to use since it requires you to re-thread seat straps and zip each time you switch between a stroller and wagon.

Lightweight

If you are looking for a single pushchair with buggy board stroller that is quick and most comfortable to carry, look no further than the Babyzen Yoyo. It weighs only 6kg and can easily fit into the boot of a car or be carried by hand. You can purchase an extension for cots to transform this into a pram suitable from birth and there are plenty of add ons like rain covers, a reversible seat liner, a baby cosy footmuff, carry strap, and more. It has a one-handed recliner and folds down to a compact size when folded. This is a great lightweight option for travel abroad since it is able to withstand moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be a full pram or a travel system that includes a bassinet or a dedicated infant car seat that has a lie-flat 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 after only some time.

If you are looking for a single pro stroller stroller to use from birth, choose one that has a fully-reclining seat unit. It can be set up with a newborn pod (usually the case with travel systems that have detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs have a fabric cocoon that can be attached to their chassis. This offers the same result, but without having to purchase a separate car-seat.

Some single sit and stand stroller pushchairs come with an option for parents that lets you keep a close eye on your child and offer comfort during the early stages. Certain Jane models have this feature in the standard version. They are ideal for new parents.

All-terrain strollers are ideal for parents who wish to take their child on a walk in bumpy or uneven terrain. They are easy to maneuver and come with three wheels for maximum stability. They're often narrower at the front, and light which means they can be manoeuvred in tight spaces.

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

A rain cover or cosy footmuffs are also great options as they offer additional protection against the elements. Many of these products can be washed by a machine, which saves you the hassle of cleaning up spillages and crumbs. Adding a seat liner will offer extra comfort to your child and protect the fabric of your pram from spills of food or drinks. A cozy pram cover will keep your child warm and comfortable if they start to feel cold.

Safety

A pushchair, pram 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 fit snugly around the shoulders and waist and be secured. The straps should be adjustable, and the harness should be placed on the chest of the child, not higher or lower than their belly.

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, costing about PS50 that add an additional space on the chassis to accommodate your other baby's chair or carrycot. Although it's an excellent option for parents expecting twins or siblings of similar age however, it can be difficult to maneuver through tight spaces since it requires that you put one seat and the second carrycot right behind the other.

Consider a convertible stroller if plan to have an additional child. They can be used in both single and tandem models and some brands like CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to customize the design by adding an additional seat, a second carrycot or ride-on boards to ensure they expand with your family.

Many pushchairs have raincovers that can be used to make short stops, or in the case of heavy rain. Check if your stroller comes with a sun canopy that can protect your children from UV rays.

A shopping basket is essential for storage and will keep all your purchases close at hand, making it less likely to fall out of the stroller. You may also want to invest in a liner for your pushchair that can protect the seat from spills of food and messy stains.

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