A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is an ideal option for infants and newborns. Many of these 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 convert into a double with the addition of an additional seat or carrycot. This makes them an excellent choice for parents-to-be expecting another child in the near future.

Convertible

A single convertible pushchair is a great option for parents looking to save money and space. It begins as a full-featured stroller that can accommodate a newborn and then easily transforms into a wagon which can hold two children. This first-of-its-kind wagon/stroller combo comes with many features that parents love such as an additional seat as well as a handy pull handle that can be used in wagon mode. It also features adjustable harness straps and headrest, a basket 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 using the adapter included. It has a big undercarriage for storing things like groceries and other items. It weighs more 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 single that converts to a convertible model is also difficult to use, as you must weave and tie the seat straps every time you switch between a stroller or wagon.

Lightweight

Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for those who need a stroller that is easy to use and quick. It weighs just 6kg in weight and can be easily carried by hand or put into the trunk of your car. You can purchase an infant cot to turn the stroller into a pram suitable for babies. There are many accessories, including rain covers, reversible seats, baby cosy feetmuffs that are comfortable, straps for carrying and more. It has a one-handed recliner and folds down to a compact size when folded. This is a great lightweight option for traveling abroad as it can handle moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be a full pram or a travel set-up with a bassinet or a dedicated infant car seat that has a lie-flat base. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't be left in a seated position for too long. They may need to be transferred to an upright pushchair or cot within some time.

If you're 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 with travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with an enclosed fabric that can be attached to the chassis and offers a similar effect but without the need for an additional car seat.

Some single pushchairs have a parent facing option which allows you to monitor your little one and provide plenty of comfort in the early stages. Some Jane models include this feature as standard. They are perfect for parents who are just starting out.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent option for parents who want to take their child for a stroll on uneven or bumpy terrain. They are easy to maneuver and come with three wheels to ensure maximum stability. They are often narrower and lighter at the front, which makes them easier to navigate in tight spaces.

If you are planning to use your pushchair on uneven or rough terrain, choose one with high performance tyres that are puncture-resistant design. These tyres can be a great alternative to air tyres and provide excellent grip on rocky or uneven surfaces.

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

Safety

A pram, pushchair or buggy must have a five-point safety harness that will keep your child safe from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. Make sure the harness is snugly positioned over the shoulders and around the waist, and that it is securely connected. The straps should be adjustable and the harness should rest 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 the role of a second carrycot or seat by adding a set tandem adaptors for around PS50, which add an additional space on the chassis to accommodate your other baby's seat or carrycot. While it's a great choice for parents who are expecting twins or siblings of similar age but it can be a challenge to maneuver through tight spaces as it requires you to put one seat and the second carrycot right behind the other.

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

Many pushchairs come with a raincover as standard and they can be very useful for quick stops or in the event of a heavy rainfall. Check if your stroller comes with an umbrella that can protect your children from UV rays.

Finally, a shopping basket is essential to store your items and keep everything you need to shop close at hand, making it less likely to fall out of the pushchair. It is also a good idea to think about investing in a pushchair lining that protects the seat from spills of food and stains.

A pram, pushchair or buggy will need regular cleaning to ensure that it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends gentle cleaning with warm water and mild detergent or soap. Check the manufacturer's instructions regarding maintenance and care, and make sure it meets all safety standards.
