So You ve Purchased Single Pushchair ... Now What

A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single hand fold stroller pushchair is an excellent option for babies and newborns. A lot of them have an adjustable seat that can be used for use starting at birth and are compatible with a range of travel systems.

Some are also convertible, allowing them to be converted into a double with the addition of another seat or carrycot. They are a good option for parents who are expecting a baby in the near future.

Convertible

A convertible single pushchair is a great choice for parents looking to reduce space and save money. It is a stroller that has all the features to be used by a baby, and then can easily be converted into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This unique stroller/wagon combination has many features that parents love such as an additional seat as well as a handy pull handle for wagon mode. It also has an adjustable headrest, harness straps, a basket to store things and an adjustable canopy.

The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model also accommodates a second infant seat using the adapter included. It also has a huge undercarriage that can store things like groceries and other items. The drawback is that it weighs more than other single gb stroller strollers and is harder to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable and could likely to tip over if packed with too heavy weight. The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model is not easy to use since you have to re-thread and tie the seat straps every time you switch between a stroller or wagon.

Lightweight

If you're looking for a single pushchair that is the quickest and easiest to carry, look no further than the Babyzen Yoyo. This stroller is only 6kg in weight and can be carried by hand or tucked into the boot of your car. You can purchase a cot to transform this stroller into a pram suitable for babies. There are many add-ons such as rain covers, reversible seat covers, baby cosy feetmuffs that are comfortable, carry straps, and more. It also features a one-handed recline for the seat and is compact when folded. This is a great light option for traveling abroad since 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 that has bassinet or an infant car seat that has flat bases. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't be left in a seated position for too long. They might need to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot in some time.

If you're looking for a single stroller to use from birth, look for one that has a fully-reclining seat unit. This can be paired with a newborn cot (usually the case with travel systems that have detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs have a fabric cocoon which can be connected to the chassis and provides a similar effect but without the requirement for a separate car seat.

Some single pushchairs come with an option for parents that allows you to keep an eye on your baby and provide plenty of peace and comfort during the early stages. Certain Jane models include this feature in their standard models which makes them perfect for parents who are new.

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

If you plan to push your stroller over uneven or rough terrain, choose a model with puncture-resistant tyres. These are a good alternative to air tyres, and offer excellent grip on uneven or sandy surfaces.

A rain cover and cosy footmuffs are also beneficial as they offer additional protection from the elements. These products can be cleaned by a machine, saving you from the trouble of cleaning up spills or food particles. A seat liner can offer additional comfort to your children and also protect the fabric of your stroller from spillages. If your child begins to get cold, a cozy pram blanket will keep them warm and snug.

Safety

A five-point safety harness should be fitted on a pram, buggy, or pushchair to prevent your child from falling out of the seat or falling over the vehicle. Make sure the harness is fitted snugly over the shoulders and around the waist, and that it has a firm connection. The straps must be adjustable and the harness should rest on the chest of the child, and not lower or higher than their belly.

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and egg 2 are single to double pushchairs that can be converted into a double pushchair by adding the tandem adaptor. They cost about PS50 and provide a second place on the chassis to which your other baby's carrycot or seat can be connected. However, while it's a great choice for parents who are expecting twins or children of similar age however, it can be difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces as it requires that you put one seat and the second carrycot in the same space behind the other.

Another tip is to think about a convertible pushchair if are planning on having an additional child. These are able to be used in single running stroller and tandem models and some brands such as CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to customize the design by adding an additional seat, a second carrycot or ride-on board to allow them to expand with your family.

A lot of pushchairs come with raincovers as standard, and these can be useful for quick stops or in the event of a heavy rainfall. Check if your pushchair comes with sun canopy to shield your children from UV ultraviolet rays.

A shopping basket can help you keep your shopping in one spot and also prevent it from falling out of the stroller. You might also want to consider investing in the lining of your pushchair that will shield the seat against food spillages and staining.

A pushchair, pram or buggy requires regular cleaning to ensure it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide suggests gentle cleaning with warm water, mild detergent or soap. Review the manufacturer's recommendations regarding maintenance and care, and make sure that it is in compliance with all safety standards.
