A Single Pushchair Is a Great Option For Newborns and Infants
A single pushchair is an ideal option for babies and newborns. Many of these pushchairs have 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 an additional carrycot or seat unit. They are a great option for parents who are expecting a baby in the near future.
Convertible
A convertible single pushchair is a great choice for parents who want to reduce space and save money. It begins as an all-inclusive stroller that can accommodate a newborn and then easily transforms into a wagon that can accommodate two children. This first-of-its-kind stroller/wagon combo has many features that parents love such as an additional seat and a convenient pull handle for wagon mode. It also features adjustable harness strap and headrest, a basket for storage, and a retractable sun canopy.
The convertible single pushchair also can be used as a second baby seat using the adapter included. It also has a huge undercarriage to store groceries and other shopping. It weighs more than other single strollers, and may be more difficult to maneuver in small spaces. It’s also less stable than other strollers, and more likely to tip over when loaded with excessive weight. In addition the single pushchair convertible can be difficult to use since it requires you to re-thread the straps to the seat and zip every time you change between stroller and wagon.

Lie-flat
Newborn babies require a lie-flat pushchair. This can be a full pram, a travel system with bassinets or an infant car seat that has a lie-flat base. The Lullaby Trust recommends that babies shouldn’t be left in a seated position for too long, so they may need to be moved to an upright pushchair or cot after a brief period of time.
If you’re looking to purchase a single seat stroller pushchair that is able to be used from birth, look for one that has an adjustable 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 single pushchairs come with a fabric cocoon which can be attached to the chassis, and gives a similar effect but without the need for an additional car seat.
Some single pushchairs include an option for parents that allows you to keep a close eye on your child and offer peace of mind during the first few years. Certain Jane models include this feature in their standard models, making them ideal for new parents.
All-terrain pushchairs are an excellent choice for those who want to take their baby to a walk on uneven or bumpy terrain. They are easy to maneuver and come with three wheels to ensure maximum stability. They are often narrower and lighter in the front, making them easier to navigate in tight spaces.
If you plan to push your stroller across rough or uneven terrains, choose a model with puncture-resistant tyres. These tyres can be a great alternative to air tyres and offer excellent grip on rocky or uneven surfaces.
A rain cover or cozy footmuff are also good additions because they provide additional protection against the elements. These products can be washed by machines to save you from the headache of cleaning up spills or crumbs. A seat liner can provide extra comfort for your children and also protect the fabric of your stroller from spills. If your child begins to feel cold, a cozy pram blanket will keep them warm and cozy.
Safety
A pram, pushchair or buggy must have five-point safety harnesses to prevent your child from tipping over the side or falling out of the seat. The harness should be snugly fitted around the shoulders and waist and be secured. The straps should be adjustable, and the harness should be in a comfortable position on the chest of the child and not lower than belly or higher than the back.

They cost about PS50 and add a second place on the chassis where the other baby’s carrycot or seat can be connected. It’s an excellent choice for parents who are expecting twins or have children with similar ages. However it can be a bit difficult to maneuver around narrow spaces, especially if you need to place the second seat behind the first.
Consider a convertible stroller when you are planning to have an additional child. They can be used in both single and tandem models and some brands like CYBEX Gazelle S and Silver Cross Wave allow you to customise the design with an additional seat, second carrycot or ride-on board to allow them to expand with your family.

It is also important to review the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding maintenance and care, and that it complies with all safety standards applicable to it.
