What to Look For in a Pushchair Car Seat

A pushchair is a type of chair on wheels specifically designed for infants up to 6 months. They typically have an adjustable seat that can recline to lay flat and have a five point harness.

Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth by adding the appropriate carrycot or car seat to create a travel system. This lets your baby easily transfer from car to pram pushchair, without causing disturbance.

Safety

There are many important safety features to look for in a pushchair car seat. No matter if you're looking at a new or second-hand model, it's crucial to make sure that your chosen pushchair meets the essential British standards and guidelines.

Make sure your pushchair is compliant with BS 7409/1996 or BS 1888:2003. This will ensure that it's safe for infants and children to travel in. This includes ensuring that it's fitted with an effective locking device and that the brakes work properly (check these frequently).

When selecting a pushchair car seat, it's also worth considering one that can recline to a lie-flat position. This is essential for infants because research has shown that babies who spend a large amount of time in a straight position may experience breathing issues. This is because their airways are impeded by the curly design of the car seat and they struggle to absorb oxygen.

You can also select a travel system that includes the baby car seat that fits perfectly into the frame of your foldable stroller. This will make the transition from stroller to car much simpler since you don't need to wake your child every when you switch modes of transportation.

Some of the top pushchair car seat models offer side impact protection as well. This is designed to decrease the impact force by supplying extra padding, energy-absorbing material and protecting your baby's shoulders, chest and head. This type of protection is especially crucial in the event of collisions with the sides, which can be more dangerous for babies.

A top tether strap is an additional important security feature to search for Jogging Strollers to prevent the car seat from swaying forward in the event of an accident. It also can reduce the chance of head injury. Make sure your child's pushchair has this feature as it's a legal requirement for all car seats made by coaches.

Look for a pushchair that can be folded quickly and compactly so that it fits into tight spaces or the boot of your vehicle. Some models fold with the seat attached making it much more convenient to use. There are a variety of brake options to choose from based on your needs. A foot brake is ideal for use in everyday life, while an active hand brake can be useful if you're often stopping and starting on busy roads. There are also jogger-style pushchairs that have three wheels that can help you maintain momentum when going either uphill or downhill.

Most pushchairs that are "from birth" will allow you to select which direction they are facing either towards the parent or facing the world and this can be changed by putting the seat into the chassis. The Doona however, is a game changer because it allows you to select both. You can click the infant car seat into the Doona and then put it upright, like stroller or recline it to a full lie-flat mode for babies. It's a fantastic feature that works with or without the base inside your vehicle and can even be utilized on trains and planes!

If you plan on traveling frequently or using ride-share cars, a lightweight and easy to set up seat is essential. Ensure the base can be pushed in and out quickly, and look into a travel system bundle that includes all the essentials.

Some pushchairs have footrests, adjustable handlebars, and other features, so that you can tailor them to your child's requirements. Some models even have a reversible seat so that your baby can sit with you for reassurance, bonding or go out into the world to explore their surroundings.

Certain brands also provide accessories for pushchairs such as feetmuffs for colder weather or sun parasols to shield your child from the sun. A sunshade will help keep your baby from overheating.
