What to Look For in a Pushchair Car Seat

A pushchair is an infant chair with wheels designed for babies as young as 6 months old. They typically have seats that recline and lie flat, and feature a five-point harness.

Some pushchairs are compatible with a carrycot or car seats to create travel systems. This lets your child move effortlessly from the car to the pushchair without being disturbed.

Safety

There are several important safety features to look for in a car seat. If you're thinking of buying a brand new or second-hand model it is essential to ensure that the pushchair you select meets the necessary British standards and regulations.

Check that your pushchair is in compliance with BS 197409:1996 or BS EN 1888:2003 prior to you purchase it. This will ensure that it's safe for infants and children to travel in. This includes ensuring that it's fitted with a safe locking device and that the brakes are operating properly (check them frequently).

When choosing a pushchair car seat, it's worth looking for 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 an upright position may experience breathing issues. The car seat's scrunched-up shape limits their airways, which causes them to struggle to breathe.

You can also choose a travel system that comes with the baby car seat that fits seamlessly into the chassis of your stroller. This allows you to switch between your the stroller and car easier, as you won't have to wake your child up each time you need to switch between modes of transport.

A few of the top pushchair car seat models offer side impact protection, too. This is designed to lessen the impact force of a collision by providing extra padding and energy-absorbing materials to protect your baby's shoulders, head and chest. This kind of protection is especially crucial in the event of a side crash which could be deadly for young babies.

A top tether strap is an additional important safety feature to look for, as this prevents the car seat from moving forward in an accident and can reduce the risk of head injuries. Make sure that your pushchair has this feature since it is a legal requirement for all car seats that are coach-built.

Simple to Use

A pushchair car seat is one of the most commonly used baby items so it's important that it has good comfort and convenience features. There are many options available, including a comfortable cushion for the baby or a handlebar with an adjustable height to fit the needs of parents' needs.

Some pushchairs come with a carrycot that is ideal for newborns. It allows them to sleep flat, which is best for their health and growth. A carrycot can be exchanged for a pushchair seat when they're older, and many are compatible with a car seat base too.

When selecting a pushchair look for one that folds easily and is compact in its fold, so it can be tucked away in tight spaces or the boot of your car. Some models even fold with the seat attached, making them easier to use. A brake is also an essential item and there are several different options to choose from based on your preferences. A foot brake is ideal for daily use, and an active handbrake is beneficial if you are frequently stopping and beginning your journey on busy streets. There are also pushchairs that resemble joggers with three wheels to keep you on track while going downhill or uphill.

The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' will let you choose which direction they face, either parent facing or facing the world and 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 either click the infant car seats into the Doona, and then recline the seat into a lying position for infants or sit it upright as a stroller. It's an amazing feature that can be used with or without the base inside your vehicle. It can also be used on planes and trains!

If you plan on travelling frequently or using ride-share cars an easy and light to set up seat is a must. Ensure the base can be pushed in and out quickly and look into a travel system bundle that includes all of your essentials.

Style

A triple pushchair's style is a very personal choice and it's easy to find a style that is suitable for both parent and baby. Depending on your budget and preference, you can choose a sleek and elegant appearance, or something that is more appealing. There are plenty of options available from top brands, so whether you want something classic and contemporary or modern and colourful you'll be sure to find it.

It is also important to consider how much you're willing spend on your pushchair car seat as it's likely to be one of the biggest baby purchases. Many parents choose to buy a travel system that comes with an infant car seat and a carrycot all in all-in-one package. This provides the ultimate convenience and comfort from birth and is perfect for families that are busy and need to get out and often.

Many pushchairs have a lie-flat seat option which allows babies to rest in a flat position that is recommended by experts to help with spinal and lung development. Some brands even go the extra mile and include a premium one-handed reclining system so that you can simply press the button to recline the seat of your pushchair for a more comfortable and comfortable position.

Some models have adjustable footrests, handlebars, and other features that let you customize them for your child's growing needs. Some even come with a reversible seat, so that your baby can face you for reassurance and bonding or can face the world to explore their surroundings.

Finally, some brands provide a variety of accessories for your pushchair, such as the footmuffs that are ideal for colder weather as well as sun parasols that protect your little one from the sun. A sunshade can help prevent your child from overheating.

The best travel pram pushchair car seats come with a five-point harness which is designed to secure your child's shoulders and hips, the most rigid points of their body. This is the safest and most secure way of securing your child in their pushchair. You should only use pushchair car seats that are fitted with this type of safety harness. There are new one-pull systems, like the Cybex double pram pushchair that allow you to precisely adjust your baby's seatbelt in just a single pull. This ensures a safe and secure fitting.

Stores

It's a fact that a pushchair car seat can be quite bulky. To ensure that you have plenty of room pick car seats with a large storage bin along with a tray for parents as well as cup holders for the child seat. This will allow you to keep all your essentials at hand while you are out and out and about.

Choose models that have a canopy built-in to protect your child from the elements. Other features that are beneficial include lockable front wheels for greater maneuverability as well as a tray for the parent that is easy to access, and an auto-standing fold.

The most convenient and secure, a Doona travel system bundle allows you to effortlessly move your child from the car seat to the pushchair without causing any disturbance. The Doona ISOFIX Base attaches to the vehicle belt buckle on the car seat and then snaps onto the pushchair frame. This innovative system means that you'll be ready to go right from birth, thereby and save time on daily errands.

Egg3 is another option. This award-winning travel system allows you to put your infant in a car seat when they are born, and switch them to an infant pushchair once they reach the proper age.

Featuring smart SensorSafe technology the egg car seat will alert you via your smartphone in real-time when there are 4 potentially unsafe conditions - unexpected chest clip buckle not being secured the chest clip, a temperature that is too hot or cold in the car seat or your baby is seated for too long.

If you want to make sure your pushchair is in top condition for the next trip out, you should consider purchasing a hood fabric refresh kit or a deep cleaning service. Begin by vacuuming, and then wiping the hood down with warm soapy water or a gentle sterilising fluid, making sure to dry the fabric in the sun.
