Rear-facing

There are many options to choose from when you are deciding on a pushchair for a brand new baby. These include prams, Pushchairs From Birth, buggies, and strollers. The terms may sound interchangeable but there are important differences between them. A pram is designed to lay flat, whereas a stroller offers a seated position. Some babies can be seated in both, but others need to use a carrycot until their necks and heads are strong enough to support them in a sitting position.

The majority of experts agree that it is ideal to use a baby pushchair with the parent facing forward for babies that are less than a couple of months old. Babies love looking at their parents' faces and appreciate the visual connection that can be created. Eye contact is essential to their emotional development as they learn to process stimuli around themselves. They also begin to develop language skills as they watch the way their parents interact with them.

This early confidence can help a child gain confidence and improve their well-being as they reach the age of toddlers and begin to explore the world.

You can easily monitor your child's progress while sitting in their pushchair. You can quickly check if your child is safe and happy. You can also make sure that their hat is not over their eyes and the wind isn't blowing directly into their face. Babies who see their parents' faces are more likely to fall asleep because they are reassured by their familiar faces.

There are many options available when you wish to keep your child in a pushchair with its parent for as long as is possible. Certain pushchairs can be changed between forward-facing and parent-facing, while others have an extendable footmuff to keep the cold out or a raincover to protect your baby from the elements. The Eezy S Twist+2 pushchair is a good example of a multi-purpose pushchair. It can be changed from a rear facing model to a front-facing unit by simply pulling an lever. It can be fitted with a Cocoon S Car Seat, Cot S Carrycot or an additional carrycot to create a 4-in-1 travel system.

Forward-facing

A forward-facing pushchair lets children to explore the world around them and take in the sights, smells and sounds around them. The baby also has the ability to see his parents, which is crucial for social development. Based on their individual developmental milestones, most babies will be ready to move from an infant carrycot to a forward-facing pushchair at about six months. When they have enough neck and head control to be able to safely face forward, this is the time.

Research has shown that when babies face their parents from the front of a pushchair they are more likely to speak back and have a reduced heart rate which suggests that they are less stressed. They also are more interested in what's going on around them and their parents which helps stimulate their minds and improve their language skills.

Look for a parasol that is SPF- or UV 50+ rating, and make sure it's made to fit your pushchair and is easy to attach.

Many pushchairs shop are able to convert into a double by adding an additional seat unit or carrycot, which is particularly useful for families who are expecting another child shortly after the first. Some of these models come with everything you need to make the switch and some include the option of a converter kit, which can be purchased separately.

All-terrain

If you live along an unpaved road, take walking in the woods or hiking a lot then you'll require a pushchair designed for rough and bumpy terrain. All-terrain pushchairs are built to handle any terrain, and come with features like suspension to cushion bumpy rides for your child so they don't shake up as much. They also have a seat that's angled to spread the force and impact of the bumpy ground equally over your child's head and neck so that they won't get shaken as much as they would in a lower-quality stroller.

The majority of all-terrain strollers are three-wheelers that have an front wheel that can be locked and swiveled in place to offer maximum maneuverability. This is crucial for rough terrain. They also have larger tires than your typical pushchair, which means they can handle rougher paths and have the most comfortable ride for your child.

When looking for a all-terrain pushchair one thing to think about is whether the wheels come with foam or air filling. Air-filled tyres are smoother on rough terrain, but they can puncture more easily if you come into contact with sharp objects. Foam-filled tyres are more durable and less likely to puncture, so they are a better choice for a pushchair that is all-terrain.

Some strollers that are all-terrain can be converted from single mode to double mode for a growing family. Others can be used as travel systems using car seat adaptors. They are perfect for parents who are new. Some models, such as the Out 'n' About Nipper are suitable for newborns due to their flat seats, and the fact that you can use a carrycot (although it isn't suitable for sleep overs).

The Nipper is equipped with a range of accessories for pushchairs, including a footmuff and a raincover. It is easy to store as it folds down with just one hand and can stand on its own when folded. It also has a 360 swivel lockable front wheel and foam-filled never-flat tyres, so you don't have to worry about a puncture on your walks.

Understanding the distinctions between a buggy, a traveling system and a single egg pushchair is the first step. This guide will break down the jargon to help parents to decide what is the best choice for their child's new arrival.

A pram, as the name suggests, is designed for newborns and babies up to six months old. It lets the baby lay flat in bed which is great for their back development. Some models also come with an attachment for a bassinet that can be used for the beginning of the first few months, providing your baby a secure and comfortable environment.

You should be aware, however, that not all pushchairs claim to be flat do so. Beware of claims by manufacturers that their pushchairs can recline flat. Always look over the fine print to learn what it means. Some pushchairs only recline a little, which is still better than the full-reclining seat.

When your baby is old enough to sit up unassisted, it's time to move them into the pushchair seat. This typically happens between three to four months. However, some babies will start sitting up earlier. You should buy a pushchair which can convert from a carrycot into an actual seat. This will allow you more flexibility and help keep your child secure until they are ready to go to the next stage.
