Strollers

Strollers are anything but "one size fits all". The variety of styles, shapes, and sizes is extensive and can get quite confusing. Before you invest on your next stroller for your little one, make sure your making the right decision for you both. Are you looking for something that will be easy to take out on a run? Or is it more important for you to be able to maneuver around a crowded shopping centre? Perhaps you just want something light and manageable so you can make quick and easy escapes at the market. There are several important things to keep in mind when deciding on your next stroller like the the height and weight of your child, the size of your car, as some are compatible with car seats, and how long you want this stroller to last. Keep these things in mind as you read about the various types of strollers available on the market today. As parents it’s important to us to make the right choice when it comes to choosing a pushchair but with the wide variety of makes and models on the market today this can be a daunting decision. Safety is paramount and naturally we want our children to be secure and comfortable, whether we are buying for our new born or toddler. Do we require a complete travel system to include a car seat/infant carrier and a carry cot as well as the pram/pushchair chassis?. This choice can be the most economical bought as a set but it is also possible to buy the chassis alone and personalize it yourself with a choice of different seat options and with the colours and styles available, from Electric Blue to Candy Floss Pink, Liquorice, Coffee or Jelly Bean, to name just a few, there will definitely be something to suit all our and our little ones’ tastes. It is possible now to choose even what design of pushchair would be appropriate to the area we live in, with the All Terrain Three Wheelers becoming ever popular and creating a smoother ride even over rough or country terrain. Another point to take in to consideration is how many children the pushchair will be required to transport. If you have two babies or a baby and toddler then a twin buggy is perfect as is a triple buggy for three young children. But as another option you could always consider the attachable buggy board for toddlers who only occasionally need a little respite from walking. After decided on the choice of transport for your little one you may like to see what other products are on offer to compliment that particular design. Most pram/pushchair manufacturers have a range of accessories specifically designed for their models such as parasols and sunshades with UV protection, rain covers, foot muffs to keep little toes warm, comfort liners for lining the interior of the pushchair seat and a wide variety of attachable toys and activities to help encourage hand-eye co-ordination. TRAVEL SYSTEMS A Travel System generally consists of the pushchair chassis with either a carry cot, car seat or both. The car seat and carry cot are secured to the chassis via a locking system and both can be easily transferred from chassis to car without waking baby. These travel systems are suitable from birth and purchasing a set like this give you peace of mind that you have all the travel equipment needed for your baby in one versatile package. The approximate dimensions of a Travel System are: 85cm H x 49cm W x 109cm D when open and 112cm H x 30cm W x 58cm D when in the folded position. THREE WHEELERS Three wheelers are a very versatile design of pushchair, able to cope with all types of terrain. They usually have adjustable suspension and a 360 degree rotating front wheel for easier maneuverability and a smoother, more comfortable ride. Three Wheeler chassis’s are designed to incorporate either a child seat, carry cot or both and can be purchased as a complete travel system. This design of pushchair is much more rugged and hardwearing and with the one touch brake system and sporty appearance it is perfect for parents who like to keep fit. The approximate dimensions of a Three Wheeler pushchair are: 92cm L x 55cm W x 106cm H when open and 85cm L x 40cm W x 45cm H when in the folded position.
