A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants
A single pushchair is an excellent option for newborns and infants. A lot of these pushchairs come with a flat seat that can be used from the moment of birth. They are also compatible with many travel systems.
Some can also be converted, allowing them to convert into a double with the addition of another seat or carrycot. They are a great choice for parents who are expecting a baby in the near future.
Convertible
A single convertible pushchair is a fantastic choice for parents who want to save money and space. It is an infant stroller with all the features needed to accommodate a newborn and later can easily be converted into a wagon that can accommodate two children. The unique combination of the wagon and stroller comes with many features parents love like an extra seat, as well as a handy pull handle that converts it into wagon mode. It also comes with adjustable harness strap and headrest, a basket for storage, and an adjustable sun canopy.
In addition the single pushchair convertible can accommodate a second infant car seat with the included adapter. It also has a large undercarriage to store groceries and other purchases. It is heavier than other single strollers and can be more difficult to maneuver in small spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and more likely to tip over when loaded with too much weight. The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model is also a challenge to use because you have to re-thread and secure the seat straps each when you switch between stroller or wagon.
Lightweight
Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for those who are looking for something simple to use and fast. This stroller is only 6kg in weight and can be easily carried by hand or tucked into the boot of your car. You can purchase an infant cot to turn this stroller into a pram that is suitable for infants. There are many accessories, including rain covers, reversible seats, baby cosy feetmuffs that are comfortable, straps for carrying and more. It also has a one-handed recline seat and is compact when folded. This is an excellent lightweight option for travelling overseas as it is able to handle moderately rough roads.
Lie-flat
Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. It could be a complete pram or a travel set-up with a bassinet or a dedicated infant car seat with a base that is lying flat. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't be left in a sitting position for too long. They may need to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot in a short time.
If you're seeking a single pushchair 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 for travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs have a fabric cocoon which can be connected to the chassis, and gives the same effect but without the requirement for a separate car seat.
Some single pushchairs include a parent facing option which allows you to monitor your child and provide them with plenty of security in the early stages. Certain Jane models have this feature as standard. They are perfect for new parents.
All-terrain strollers are ideal for parents who want to take their children on walks on bumpy or uneven terrain. They are simple to maneuver and feature three wheels to ensure maximum stability. They tend to be smaller and lighter at the front, making them easier to navigate in tight spaces.
If you intend to push your stroller on uneven or rough terrain opt for a model that has puncture-resistant tyres. They are a great alternative to air tyres and provide excellent grip on rough or sandy surfaces.
A rain cover or cozy footmuff are also good additions as they offer extra protection against the elements. A lot of these items are machine washable, saving you the headache of cleaning up spills and dust. The addition of a seat liner will offer extra comfort to your child and protect the fabric of your pram from spills of drinks or food. A soft pram cover can keep your child warm and cozy when they begin to feel cold.
Safety
A pram, pushchair or buggy should be equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your child safe from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. Make sure the harness fits snugly over the shoulders and around your waist, and is securely connected. The straps must be adjustable and the harness should rest on the chest of the child, and not lower or higher than their stomach.
UPPAbaby Vista V2 and egg 2 are single to double pushchairs that are easily converted into double pushchairs by adding the tandem adaptor. They are priced around PS50 and include another space on the chassis where the other baby's carrycot or seat can be connected. It's a great option for parents expecting twins or have siblings of similar age. However it can be a challenge to maneuver around tight spaces, as you need to place the second seat behind the first.
Consider a convertible stroller when you intend to have a second child. These can be used in single and tandem mode. Certain brands, such as CYBEX or Silver Cross Wave, allow you to customise their designs by adding an extra seat, a second carrycot, or a ride-on board.
A lot of pushchairs come with a rain cover as standard and can be helpful to stop quickly or in the event that there is a significant rain. Check if your pushchair comes with sun canopy to protect your children from UV rays.
A shopping basket is essential to store your items and keep all your purchases within reach so it's less likely to fall out of the pushchair. It is also a good idea to consider investing in a pushchair lining that will shield the seat from food spills and stains.
To ensure your child's safety You must clean the buggy, pushchair or pram frequently. The Pushchair Guide suggests gentle cleaning using warm water, mild detergent or soap. It is also important to review the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and care and ensure that the product is compliant with all safety standards applicable to it.
