What is a pushchair?
A buggy or pushchair is a must-have for any baby that wants to go out. It allows parents to connect with their newborn or baby and enjoy family life.
However, choosing the right pushchair for your child is a big decision and there are many choices available. At Direct4Baby we suggest to take the time to think about your options prior to making an investment. There are a variety of things to bear in mind such as the age of your child and the frequency you're likely to use it.
There are many types of buggies to choose from with a range of single to triple buggies. The majority of standard pushchairs can be used by babies from to four years old. They are designed to be safe and feature features that keep your baby secure. Most come with a five-point harness that keeps your baby in their seat and prevents it from wriggling. It is secured by two straps around the shoulders, two straps around the hips, and another between their legs.
Some pushchairs can hold twins side-by-side, or in tandem. Some twin pushchairs are able to accommodate a car seat and the carry cot. They are akin to travel systems. Whether you go for a double or a triple pushchair, you must ensure that the product you choose will provide your child with the most comfortable and enjoyable experience.
The most significant difference between a pram and a pushchair a pram is that a pushchair is suited for children who sit up in the chair and is generally forward-facing. A pram for newborn is specifically designed for newborns and babies and usually comes with a bassinet, or a carry cot (or both). Some prams can be converted to pushchairs, so you can change between the products as your child develops.
Many pushchairs have reclined seats. This allows your baby to lie flat. This is crucial for infants since they are instructed to rest flat for the first few weeks of their life to develop their breathing and head control skills.
What is a buggy?
A buggy is a kind of carriage drawn by horses that can hold one or two persons. It has either four or two wheels and usually has a hood or folding top. It was once a common form of transport in the United States and is still utilized by a few Amish communities today. Buggy is similar to the phaeton or wagon but it is much more compact and usually has a smaller space in the back.
The origin of buggy is a mystery, but it may be rooted in the Middle English word bugge, meaning something frightening or threatening. It was originally a word to describe a formal coach, but it later became a reference to the simplest vehicle used for short trips. It also serves as a slang word for a small motorized vehicle or an electric or gasoline-powered vehicle.
There are many different types of buggy, each with its own function. The simplest types are two-wheeled carts used for short local excursions. Wagons are four-sided vehicles that are able to carry heavier loads, are utilized by both passengers and cargo. Phaetons, which are stylish buggies, can be used to transport a person or a large load. Hacks are used to transport livestock and bulky items.
Buggy can also be used as a slang word for things that are difficult or frustrating to manage, such as an annoyingly slow computer or an insecure pushchair. It could also be used to refer to a weather condition that is unpleasant or damp, such as a rainy or humid day.
In certain places buggy may also refer to carts. For instance, the newspaper The Corona Daily Independent (CA) reported that a woman fell on her shopping cart in the grocery store in 1943. Other examples include an informal description of the child's pram or a cart that is used to transport mining materials or a dune buggy, which is a motorized cart which is used to carry cargo along sandy beaches or dunes.
What is the difference between a pram and a pushchair?
A pushchair is similar to a stroller but it is designed for babies who can sit upright. They usually include a seat that can be adjusted to multiple reclining positions and come with a safety harness to keep your child secure. They are lightweight and compact, and can easily be moved around different surfaces. Many pushchairs are reversible to allow your baby to look at you or the world for reassurance, or towards you to explore the world around them.
Prams, on the other hand, are geared towards newborns and infants. They come with a sturdy, deep carrycot which your baby can lay on, with soft walls and a comfortable mattress. Most prams are parent facing pushchair-facing so your baby can see you, which is essential for bonding and reassurance. But as your baby grows they might begin to look around them more and will struggle to settle into a sitting position in their pram. This is the time to change to the pushchair.
There are prams that convert into pushchairs or strollers which is great for when your baby grows and you need to switch between them. You can remove the frame and carry cot to create room for your baby from birth, and then transform it into a pushchair after they are ready to make the transition.
It's important to check that the seat of a pushchair can be fully reclined, as this is vital for newborns. It can be difficult to check this feature, since many pushchairs will simply state they're reclining' and this doesn't mean they are able to lie down. It is best to choose an infant pushchair that can be used from birth or a pram travel system, or combination pram that includes a carry cot and is suitable for use starting at birth.
You should also think about how it's easy to clean your pushchair as you'll probably find more spills and drools in the future than you'd expect. In the ideal scenario, you'll be able to clean the entire chassis and seat with ease, and pick washable and removable fabrics.
What should I be looking for when buying a stroller?
A pushchair is one of your biggest baby purchases. It is important to think about all the details prior to spending your hard-earned cash.
The most important aspect is whether the product will fit your family's requirements and lifestyle. If you are likely to be moving around frequently with your little one then you will probably want a lightweight, compact pushchair that folds to a size that will fit in the car's boot or take up less space in public transport.
If you have twins or children with similar ages, you may wish to buy a double stroller which can hold both children simultaneously. You may want to buy a footmuff, or parasol to offer additional comfort to your child and shield them from the sun.
It's also worth assessing whether you're happy with the pushchair's appearance, and if it will look good several years from now. You are likely to be using your pushchair for a while, so it's best to find a design that you'll enjoy even when your child is an infant.
The type of wheel and the quality is another factor to consider, as you will want the pushchair to be able to tackle various types of terrain including grass and pavements. You can upgrade the standard wheels on most pushchairs to all-terrain sturdy wheels that allow you to travel off-road as well as in the muddy fields.
If you're going to be carrying your pushchair regularly to and from the stairs, it's important to choose a model with a a simple and easy folding mechanism. Some models can be folded and unrolled with one hand, whereas others can be freestanding when folded, making them easy to carry up and down flights of stairs.
There are a variety of brands to choose from dependent on your budget. If you are looking for a low-cost model, try Graco, Chico, Cuggl or Kinderkraft or, if you want something that is mid-range consider John Lewis, Cybex, Silver Cross or some Joie models. If you're on a more substantial budget, there are some high-end choices available from the likes of Bugaboo, Cosatto and iCandy.
