A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is an excellent option for infants and newborns. Many of these pushchairs have a flat seat that can be used from the moment of birth. They also work with many travel systems.

Some are also convertible, allowing them to be converted into a double by the addition of an additional carrycot or seat unit. They are a great choice for parents who will be expecting a second baby in the near future.

Convertible

A single pushchair that converts to a convertible model is an excellent choice for parents looking to reduce space and save money. It is initially a fully-featured stroller 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 single/wagon combo has numerous features that parents appreciate, including an extra seat and a convenient pull handle for wagon mode. It also has an adjustable headrest and harness straps as well as a basket for storing things, and a retractable canopy.

The single pushchair convertible accommodates a second infant seat using the adapter included. It also has a large undercarriage that can be used for grocery and other purchases. It's heavier than other single strollers, and may be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers, and more likely to tip over if you load it up with too much weight. Additionally the small single stroller pushchair convertible can be difficult to use because it requires you to re-thread straps to the seat and zip every time you switch between the stroller and wagon.

Lightweight

If you're looking for a single pushchair that is quick and most comfortable to carry look no further than the Babyzen Yoyo. The stroller weighs just 6kg and easily fits into the trunk of a car, or be carried by hand. You can buy an infant cot to turn the stroller into a pram that is suitable for babies. There are also many accessories like rain covers, reversible seat covers, baby cosy feetmuffs that are comfortable, carry straps, and more. It features a recliner that can be operated by one hand and is compact when folded. This is a great light option for travel 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 lie-flat base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies should not be left in the seated position for too long, so they may need to be moved to an upright pushchair seat or cot after a short period of time.

If you are looking for a single buggy to use from birth, look for one with a fully-reclining seat unit. It can be set with a baby pod (usually the case with travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with a fabric cocoon which can be affixed to the chassis, and gives the same effect but without the requirement for an additional car seat.

Some single pushchairs come with the option of facing the parent, which lets you keep an eye on your little one and give them plenty of peace and comfort during the early stages. Certain Jane models have 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 child for a stroll over bumpy or uneven terrain. They typically have three wheels to maximise stability and are very maneuverable. They are often narrower and lighter in the front, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

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

A rain cover and cosy footmuffs are also beneficial as they provide extra protection from the elements. Many of these products are machine washable, saving you the trouble of cleaning up spills and dust. A seat liner can offer extra comfort to your child, and also protect your fabric from food and drink spillages. If your child starts to get cold, a warm pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.

Safety

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

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and egg 2 are single pushchairs that can be easily transformed into a double pushchair by adding a tandem adaptor. They are priced around PS50 and provide a second place on the chassis where the other baby's carrycot or seat can be placed. While it's an excellent option for parents expecting twins or siblings close in age but it can be a challenge to maneuver through tight spaces since it requires you to put one seat and a second carrycot directly behind the other.

Consider a convertible stroller if 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 design by adding an additional seat, a second carrycot, or a ride-on board.

Many pushchairs are equipped with raincovers that can be used for quick stops or in the event of heavy rain. Check if your pushchair comes with a sun canopy that can shield your children from UV rays.

A basket for shopping will allow you to keep your shopping organized and keep it from falling out of the stroller. It is also a good idea to think about purchasing a pushchair lining that protects the seat from spills of food and stains.

A pram, pushchair or buggy will need regular cleaning to ensure it remains safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide suggests a gentle clean using warm water and mild soap or detergent. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for care and maintenance, and ensure that the product meets all safety standards.
