A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants

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

Some are also convertible, which allows them to convert to a double using the addition of a second seat or carrycot. This makes them a great option for parents expecting an additional child in the near future.

Convertible

A single stroller with bench seat convertible pushchair is a great option for parents looking to save money and space. It starts as a stroller with all the features that can accommodate a newborn and later can easily be converted to a wagon for two children. This unique combination of a wagon and stroller has many features parents love, such as an extra seat, as well as a handy pull handle that converts it into wagon mode. It also features adjustable harness strap and a headrest, a basket for storage, and a retractable sun canopy.

In addition, the convertible single pushchair can also accommodate a second infant car seat with the included adapter. It has a large undercarriage that can store groceries and other items. It's heavier than other single strollers, and can be more difficult to maneuver in smaller spaces. It's also less stable than other strollers and is more likely to fall over if you load it up with excessive weight. The single pushchair convertible is not easy to use, as you must re-thread and secure the seat straps each time 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 quick. This stroller weighs just 6kg and can easily fit into the trunk of a car or carried by hand. You can buy a cot extension to transform this into a pram suitable from birth and there are plenty of add ons like rain covers, reversible seat liner, a baby cozy footmuff, carry strap, and more. It also features a one-handed seat recline and is super compact single stroller when folded. This is an excellent 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 an infant bassinet, or a special infant car seat that has an adjustable base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies should not be kept in the seated position for too long. Therefore, they may have to be moved to an upright pushchair or cot after a brief period of time.

If you're looking to purchase a single pushchair that is able to be used from birth, select one with a fully reclined seat that can be used in conjunction with a baby carrycot or pod (this is typically the case for travel systems that come with detachable bassinets). Some single pushchairs come with a cocoon made of fabric that can be connected to the chassis and provides the same effect but without the need for a separate car seat.

Some single pushchairs have a parent facing option which allows you to keep an eye on your baby and give them plenty of peace and comfort during the early stages. Some Jane models have this feature in their standard models and are perfect for parents who are just starting out.

All-terrain pushchairs are a great option for parents who wish to take their baby for a stroll over uneven or bumpy terrain. They are easy to maneuver and have three wheels for maximum stability. They're usually smaller in the front and lighter which means they can be manoeuvred in tight spaces.

If you intend to push your stroller across uneven or rough terrain opt for a model that has puncture-resistant tyres. These tyres can be a great alternative to air tyres and provide excellent grip on uneven or rocky surfaces.

A rain cover or cozy footmuffs are also useful because they provide additional protection from the elements. A lot of these items can be washed by a machine, which saves you the hassle of cleaning up spillages and dust. A seat liner can provide extra comfort for your children and also protect the fabric of your pushchair from spills. A cosy pram cover will keep your child warm and comfortable if they start to get cold.

Safety

A five-point safety belt must be used on a pram, buggy or pushchair to keep your child from falling out of the seat or falling over the vehicle. The harness should be snugly fitted around the waist and shoulders and have a secure attachment. The straps must be adjustable, and the harness should rest at a level with the child's chest and not lower than the belly or higher than the back.

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and egg 2 are single stroller with bench seat pushchairs that are easily converted into a double pushchair by incorporating an adaptor for tandem use. These cost around PS50 and add an additional space on the chassis to which the other baby's carrycot or seat can be placed. While it's an excellent option for parents expecting twins or siblings of similar age however, it can be difficult to manoeuvre through narrow spaces since it requires you to put one seat and a second carrycot right behind the other.

Another option is to consider the possibility of a convertible pushchair when you are planning to have an additional child. They can be used in tandem or single mode. Certain brands, like CYBEX or Silver Cross Wave, allow the user to personalize their design by adding an additional seat, second carrycot or a ride-on board.

Many pushchairs are equipped with raincovers that can be used to make short stops, or in the case of heavy rain. It's also worth checking whether your pushchair comes with an umbrella that can provide UV protection for your children.

A shopping basket is essential for storage and keeps all your shopping within reach so it's less likely to fall out of the stroller. You might also want to invest in a pushchair liner, which will shield the seat from spills and soiled stains.

A pram, a pushchair or buggy requires regular cleaning to ensure that it is safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide recommends a gentle clean-up using warm water, mild soap or detergent. It is also important to read the manufacturer's instructions for care and maintenance and that it complies with all safety standards applicable to it.
