A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants
A single pushchair is a great choice for newborns and babies. Many of them come with an adjustable seat that can be used for use right from birth and are compatible with a range of travel systems.

This makes them a good choice for parents-to-be expecting another child in the near future.
Convertible
A single pushchair convertible is an excellent choice for parents who want to reduce space and cost. It is initially a full-featured stroller that can accommodate a newborn, and then easily transforms into a wagon which holds two children. This unique stroller/wagon combination has many features that parents love such as an additional seat as well as a handy pull handle that can be used in wagon mode. It also features adjustable harness strap and headrest, a basket for storage, and a retractable sun canopy.
In addition, the convertible single pushchair can be used to accommodate a second child car seat with the included adapter. It also has a huge undercarriage to store groceries and other purchases. 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. In addition the convertible single pushchair isn't always easy to use due to the fact that it requires you to re-thread straps to the seat and zip every time you change between stroller and wagon.
Lightweight
Babyzen Yoyo is the best single pushchair for those who need a stroller that is easy to use and quick. It weighs only 6kg and easily fits into the trunk of a car or carried by hand. You can purchase an extension for cots to transform it into a stroller suitable for infants and there are many accessories like rain covers, a reversible seats liner, baby cozy footmuff, carry strap and more. It comes with a single-handed recliner and is compact when folded. This is a great lightweight option for traveling abroad as it is able to withstand moderately rough roads.
Lie-flat
Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be either an all-size pram, travel set that includes bassinet or an infant car seat that has an elongated base. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies shouldn't be left in a seated position for too long. They may have to be transferred to a standing pushchair or cot in an hour or so.
If you're looking to purchase a single wheel stroller buggy that is able to be used from birth, look for one that has a fully reclined seat that can be paired with a baby pod or carrycot (this is typically the case for travel systems that come with detachable bassinets). Some cheap single buggy pushchairs come with a fabric cocoon that can be attached to the chassis. This gives the same effect however, without the need to purchase a car seat separately.
Some single pushchairs have a parent-facing option that lets you monitor your child and offer comfort during the early stages. Certain Jane models come with this feature by default. They are great for new parents.
All-terrain strollers are perfect for parents who wish to take their children on an outing on uneven or bumpy terrain. They are easy to maneuver and have three wheels for maximum stability. They are often narrower and lighter in the front, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
If you plan to use your pushchair on uneven or rough terrain, you should choose one with tyres that are high-performance with a puncture-resistant design. These tyres can be a great alternative to air tyres, and provide excellent grip on uneven or rocky surfaces.
A rain cover and a comfortable footmuff can also be beneficial as they provide extra protection from the elements. A lot of these items can be washed in the machine, saving you the headache of cleaning up spills and crumbs. Adding a seat liner will give you extra comfort for your child and shield your fabric from food and drink spillages. If your child begins to get cold, a cozy pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.
Safety
A five-point safety harness should be fitted on a pram, buggy, or pushchair to prevent your child from falling out of the seat or falling over the vehicle. Make sure that the harness is fitted snugly over the shoulders and around the waist, and that it has a strong connection. The straps should be adjustable and the harness should sit level on the child's chest and not lower than the belly or higher than the back.
A single-to-double pushchair, such as the UPPAbaby Vista V2 or egg 2 can easily take on a second seat or carrycot by adding a set tandem adaptors, which cost about PS50 and adding another spot on the chassis for your other baby's chair or carrycot. It's a great choice for parents who are expecting twins or have siblings who are similar in age. However, it can be difficult to maneuver through narrow spaces, especially if it is necessary to put the second seat behind the first.
Another good tip is to think about the possibility of a convertible pushchair when you are planning to have another child. These can be used both in tandem or single mode. Some brands, like CYBEX or Silver Cross Wave, allow you to customize their design by adding an additional seat, second carrycot or a ride-on board.
A lot of pushchairs come with a raincover that can be used for short stops, or in the case of heavy rain. It's also worth determining if your pushchair comes with an umbrella that can offer UV protection for your children.
Finally, a shopping basket is essential for storage and will keep everything you need to shop close at hand, making it less likely to be thrown out of the pushchair. You may also want to invest in a liner for your pushchair that will shield the seat from spills of food and soiled stains.
A pram, pushchair or buggy needs regular cleaning to ensure it is safe for your child. The Pushchair Guide suggests a gentle clean using warm water mild detergent or soap. It is also important to check the manufacturer's guidelines regarding maintenance and care, and to ensure that the product meets all safety standards applicable to it.(Image: https://cdn.freshstore.cloud/offer/images/7007/32/hauck-shopper-neo-2-pushchair-grey-lightweight-travel-stroller-only-7-9kg-compact-one-hand-folding-with-raincover-32.jpg)
