Convertible

A single convertible pushchair is an excellent choice for parents who want to save money and space. It starts out as a fully-featured stroller single that is able to accommodate a newborn and then easily transforms into a wagon which can hold two children. This first-of-its-kind stroller/wagon combo has numerous features that parents appreciate including an extra seat as well as a handy pull handle that can be used in wagon mode. It also comes with adjustable harness straps and headrest, a basket to use for storage, and a retractable sun canopy.

The single pushchair that converts to a convertible model also can be used as a second baby seat with the adapter included. It also has a huge undercarriage to store groceries and other shopping. It is heavier than other single strollers, and could be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable and will likely to tip over if packed with too heavy weight.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be a full pram or a travel system that includes bassinets or an infant car seat that has a lie-flat base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies should not be kept in a seated position for too long. Therefore, they might need to be moved to an upright pushchair seat or cot after a brief period of time.

If you are looking for a single buggy to use from birth, look for one with a fully reclining seat unit. This can be paired with a newborn cot (usually the case for travel systems that come with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with an enclosed fabric that can be affixed to the chassis, and gives the same effect but without the need for a separate car seat.

Some single pushchairs include a parent-facing option, which lets you keep a close eye on your child's progress and provide peace of mind during the first few years. Certain Jane models have this feature in their standard models which makes them perfect for parents who are new.

All-terrain strollers are ideal for parents who want to take their child for a walk in bumpy or uneven terrain. They are simple to maneuver and feature three wheels to ensure maximum stability. They are usually narrower in the front and lighter, so they are able to maneuver in tight spaces.

If you plan to push your stroller across uneven or rough terrain opt for a model that has puncture-resistant tyres. These tyres are a great alternative to air tyres and offer excellent grip on uneven or rocky surfaces.

A rain cover or a comfy footmuffs can also be a good addition as they provide extra protection from the elements. Many of these products can be washed by a machine, which saves you the hassle of cleaning up spillages and crumbs. The addition of a seat liner will provide extra comfort for your child and shield your pushchair fabric from any spills of food or drinks. If your child begins to get cold, a cozy pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.

Safety

A pushchair single, pram or buggy must have five-point safety harnesses to keep your child safe from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. The harness should fit snugly around the waist and shoulders and have a secure attachment. The straps should be adjustable, and the harness should be placed on the chest of the child, and not higher or lower than their stomach.

A single to double pushchair such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily take on a second seat or carrycot by adding a set tandem adaptors, which cost about PS50 and adding a second location on the chassis for your other baby's seat or carrycot. It's a great choice for parents expecting twins or have children of similar age. However it can be a bit difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, especially if you'll need to put the second seat behind the first.

Another good tip is to consider a convertible pushchair if you are planning to have an additional child. These can be used both in single and tandem mode. Some brands, such as CYBEX or Silver Cross Wave, allow the user to personalize their designs by adding an extra seat, second carrycot or a ride-on board.

Many pushchairs are equipped with raincovers that can be used to make short stops, or in the case of heavy rain. It's also worth checking whether your pushchair comes with an umbrella that will provide UV protection to your children.

Finally, a shopping basket is essential for storage and will keep all your purchases within reach so it's less likely to be thrown out of the pushchair. You might also want to think about purchasing a pushchair lining that will shield the seat against food spillages and staining.

A pram, a pushchair or buggy needs regular cleaning to ensure it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends a gentle clean-up using warm water mild soap or detergent. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines on maintenance and care and make sure it meets all safety standards.
