A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair can be an excellent choice for newborns and babies. A lot of them have an adjustable seat that can be used for use from birth and can be used with a variety of travel systems.

Some are also convertible, allowing them to be transformed into a double with the addition of another seat or carrycot. They are a good option for parents who are expecting a second child in the near future.

Convertible

A single pushchair convertible is a great choice for parents who wish to save space and money. It starts out as a full-featured stroller that can be used for newborns and later easily transforms into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This unique stroller/wagon combination has numerous features that parents love, such as an extra seat and a easy pull handle that allows you to convert it into wagon mode. It also has an adjustable headrest and harness straps as well as a basket for storing things and an adjustable canopy.

Additionally the convertible single person buggy pushchair can also accommodate a second infant car seat using the adapter. It also has a huge undercarriage for groceries and other grocery shopping. The downside is that it's heavier than single infant stroller strollers, and could be difficult to navigate in tight spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and more likely to slide over if you load it up with too much weight. Additionally, the convertible single pushchair isn't always easy to use due to the fact that it requires you to re-thread the straps on the seat and zip it each time you switch between the stroller and wagon.

Lightweight

Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for those who need a stroller that is easy to use and quick. This stroller weighs just 6kg and easily fits into the trunk of a car or carried by hand. You can buy an extension for your cot to turn it into a pram that is suitable for babies from birth. There are plenty of add ons like rain covers, reversible seat liner, baby cozy footmuff, carry straps and more. It comes with a single-handed recliner and is compact when folded. This is a great lightweight option for travelling abroad as it is able to handle moderately rough roads.

Lie-flat

Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be either a full-size pram, a travel set with bassinet or an infant car seat with a flat base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies should not be left in a seated position for too long, so they might need to be moved to an upright pushchair seat or cot after a brief period of 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 linked up with a newborn pod (usually the case for travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with a cocoon made of fabric that can be connected to the chassis, and gives a similar effect but without the requirement for an additional car seat.

Some single pushchairs have the option of facing the parent, which allows you to keep an eye on your baby and give them plenty of security in the early years. Some Jane models have this feature as standard. They are ideal for new parents.

All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent option for parents who wish to take their baby to a walk on bumpy or uneven terrain. They are easy to maneuver and come with three wheels to ensure maximum stability. They're often narrower at the front and lightweight which means they can be maneuvered in tight spaces.

If you intend to push your stroller over uneven or rough terrains opt for a model that has puncture-resistant tyres. They're a great alternative to air tyres, and provide excellent grip on rough or sandy surfaces.

A rain cover and cosy footmuffs are also a good addition as they provide extra protection from the elements. These products can be washed by machines, saving you from the trouble of cleaning up spills or dust. A seat liner can provide an extra level of comfort for your children as well as protect the fabric of your pushchair from spills. If your child begins to get cold, a cosy pram blanket will keep them warm and snug.

Safety

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

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and egg 2 are single seat buggy to double pushchairs that can be converted into a double pushchair by adding the tandem adaptor. These cost around PS50 and include an additional space on the chassis to which your baby's carrycot and seat can be attached. It's a great option for parents who are expecting twins or have children with similar ages. However, it can be difficult to maneuver around tight spaces, since you need to place the second seat behind the first.

Consider a convertible stroller if you intend to have an additional child. They can be used in both single and tandem modes and some brands like CYBEX Gazelle S or Silver Cross Wave allow you to customize the design by adding an additional seat, second carrycot or ride-on board to allow them to grow with your family.

Many pushchairs are equipped with a raincover that can be used to make quick stops or in the event of heavy rain. Check if your stroller comes with sun canopy to protect your children from UV rays.

Finally, a shopping basket is essential for storage and will keep all your purchases close at hand, making it less likely to be thrown out of the pushchair. You may also want to think about investing in an upholstered pushchair that protects the seat from food spills and stains.

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