A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

A single pushchair is a fantastic option for newborns and infants. Many of these pushchairs feature flat seats that can be used from birth. They also work with many travel systems.

Some are also convertible, which allows them to be converted to a double using the addition of a second carrycot or seat unit. They are a great choice for parents who will be expecting a second child in the near future.

Convertible

A single pushchair convertible is a great option for parents who want to reduce space and cost. It is initially a fully-featured stroller that is able to accommodate a newborn and then easily transforms into a wagon that can hold two children. This unique combination of a wagon and stroller has many features parents love, such as an extra seat and a handy pull handle that converts it into a wagon. It also features an adjustable headrest, harness straps as well as a basket for storing items and an adjustable canopy.

The convertible single pushchair also can be used as a second baby seat using the adapter included. It also has a large undercarriage that can be used for grocery and other shopping. It's heavier than other single seater buggy for sale strollers and may be more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and is more likely to tip over in the event that you load it with excessive weight. The convertible single pushchair is also a challenge to use, as you must thread and zip the seat straps each when you switch between stroller or wagon.

Lightweight

Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for people who need a stroller that is easy to use and fast. This stroller is only 6kg and can be carried by hand or put into the trunk of your car. You can purchase an extension for cots to transform this into a pram suitable for babies from birth. There are plenty of add ons like rain covers, reversible seat liner, a baby cozy footmuff, carry strap, and more. It also comes with a single stroller pushchair-handed recline seat and is compact when folded. It is a great light option for traveling abroad 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 bassinets or an infant car seat with a base that is lying flat. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies shouldn't be left in an incline for too long, which means they may have to be transferred to a pushchair that is upright or cot after a short period of time.

If you're deciding on a single stroller that can be used from birth, look for one that has a fully reclining seat unit that can be used in conjunction with a newborn carrycot or pod (this is typically the case for travel systems with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs also have an enclosed fabric that can be connected to the chassis and offers a similar effect but without the requirement for a separate car seat.

Some single pushchairs come with a parent-facing option that lets you monitor your child and provide comfort during the early stages. Some Jane models include this feature as standard. They are perfect for new parents.

All-terrain strollers are great for parents who want to take their child for walks on rough or bumpy terrain. They typically have three wheels to maximise stability and are easy to maneuver. They are often narrower and lighter in the front, which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

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

A rain cover or a comfy footmuffs are also beneficial as they provide extra protection from the elements. A lot of these items 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 as well as protect the fabric of your pushchair from spills. A soft pram cover can keep your child warm and cozy if they start to get cold.

Safety

A five-point safety harness should be installed on a pram, buggy, or pushchair to prevent your child from falling out of the seat or tipping the vehicle over. The harness should fit comfortably around the waist and shoulders and have a secure connection. The straps must be adjustable, and the harness should sit level on the child's chest, not lower than the belly or higher than the back.

A single to double pushchair like the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily take on an additional seat or carrycot by adding a set of tandem adaptors, costing approximately PS50 that add a second location on the chassis for your other baby's chair or carrycot. It's a great choice for parents expecting twins or have children with similar ages. However it can be a bit difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces, especially if it is necessary to put the second seat behind the first.

Another option is to consider a convertible pushchair if are planning on having a second child. These are able to be used in single and tandem configurations and certain brands like CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to customise the design with an additional seat, second carrycot or ride-on boards so they can grow with your family.

Many pushchairs come with raincovers as standard, and they can be very useful to stop quickly or in the event of a heavy rainfall. Check if your pushchair comes with a sun canopy that can shield your children from UV radiation.

Also, a basket for shopping is essential for storage and keeps all your purchases close at hand, making it less likely to fall out of the stroller. You may also want to think about purchasing the lining of your pushchair that protects the seat against food spillages and staining.

To keep your child safe, you will need to clean your buggy, pushchair or pram regularly. The Pushchair Guide recommends gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap or detergent. It is also important to check the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance and care and to ensure that the product meets all safety standards in force.
