A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A cheap single stroller pushchair is an excellent option for newborns and infants. Many of these pushchairs have 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 be converted into a double by the addition of another seat or carrycot. They are a great option for parents who will be expecting a second baby in the near future.

Convertible

A single pushchair convertible is a great choice for parents looking to save space and money. It starts as a stroller that has all the features to accommodate a newborn and later it can be converted easily into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This unique stroller/wagon combination has many features parents love like an extra seat and a handy pull handle that converts it into wagon mode. It also features a headrest that can be adjusted, as well as harness straps and a basket that can be used to store items, and a retractable canopy.

The single pushchair convertible can be used as a second baby seat with the adapter included. It also has a large undercarriage for groceries and other shopping. It is heavier than other single stroller with standing board strollers, and can be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and is more likely to fall over in the event that you load it with too much weight. Additionally the convertible single sit and stand stroller pushchair can be difficult to use because it requires you to re-thread straps to the seat and zip every time you switch between a stroller and wagon.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This could be a full-size pram, a travel set with a bassinet, or an infant car seat that has a flat base. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't remain in a seated position for too long. They may need to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot within an hour or so.

If you're looking for a single buggy to use from birth, choose one with a fully-reclining seat unit. This can be linked with a newborn cot (usually the case for travel systems that have detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with an enclosed fabric that can be attached to the chassis. This offers a similar result however, without the need to purchase a separate car-seat.

Some single pushchairs come with a parent-facing option, which allows you to keep a close eye on your child and offer peace of mind during the first few years. Certain Jane models come with this feature by default which makes them perfect for parents who are new.

All-terrain pushchairs are a great option for parents who wish to take their child for a stroll over uneven or bumpy terrain. They usually come with three wheels to maximize stability and are very easy to maneuver. They tend to be smaller and lighter in the front, which makes them easier to navigate in tight spaces.

If you plan to use your pushchair on rough or uneven terrain, you should choose one with high performance tyres with a puncture-resistant design. These are a good alternative to air tyres, and provide excellent grip on rough or sandy surfaces.

A rain cover and a comfortable footmuffs are also a good addition as they offer additional protection from the elements. Many of these products can be washed by a machine, which saves you the headache of cleaning up spills and crumbs. A seat liner will provide an extra level of comfort for your children and also protect the fabric of your pushchair from spillages. A cosy pram cover will keep your child warm and comfortable if they begin to feel cold.

Safety

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

These cost around PS50 and include another space on the chassis where your other baby's carrycot or seat can be connected. It's an excellent choice for parents expecting twins or have children with similar ages. However it can be a bit difficult to maneuver around tight spaces, since you'll need to put the second seat behind the first.

Consider a convertible stroller when you are planning to have a second child. These are able to be used in single and tandem modes and some brands such as CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to personalize the design with an additional seat, a second carrycot or ride-on boards to ensure they expand with your family.

Many pushchairs have a raincover as standard and these can be useful for quick stops or in the event of a heavy rainfall. It's also worth checking whether your pushchair has sun canopy that can offer UV protection for your children.

Also, a basket for shopping is essential for storage and will keep everything you need to shop in reach, making it less likely to fall out of the stroller. It is also possible to consider purchasing an extra liner for your pushchair, which will shield the seat from spills and messy stains.
