Buggy & Pushchair | Comfy and safe for your child

Buggies & Pushchairs – the best solution for mobile families

From the moment you bring your baby home, to when s/he starts to walk around and climb your furniture, a stroller, buggy or pushchair is an essential accessory for when being on the go. In infancy, the regular stroller, which was often used at the beginning as a place for your child to sleep, plays only a minor role for little explorers, which is why it is recommended to think about purchasing a buggy or pushchair as soon as your little one takes the first steps and explores the world on their own. Compared to strollers, buggies and pushchairs can be transported and manoeuvred much easier due to their low weight, both when folded and unfolded. Whether on the playground, on the road or in the car – buggies and pushchairs can easily be taken along in a small space at any time, so they are always ready for use whenever they are needed. Even if your child gets tired when being out and about, a buggy or pushchair stands out at as a loyal companion as it usually also features an adjustable backrest with resting position.

What features should you look for when buying a buggy or pushchair?

Most top brands, such as Britax Römer, Babyzen or Quinny, offer models that are either better suited for city life or rural living. That's why you should always consider where you go for most of your trips and strolls before you buy a model. No matter if you frequently use public transport, if you prefer off-road adventures with your child, or frequent long-distance car rides – in order to find an ideal companion, we recommend you to choose a buggy or pushchair that suits your baby's needs and your lifestyle best. Therefore, depending on your lifestyle, you should pay attention to the following top features:

Compatibility with public transport:

Taking a buggy or pushchair on a train, metro or bus can be a real fight and a nightmare for mom, dad and other fellow passengers – but it does not have to be that way. If public transport is part of your daily life, you should choose a buggy or pushchair that:

is light in weight and foldable, which makes getting in and out easier
is small & narrow enough to push it on a bus or train
has wheels that are big enough so they do not get stuck in the gaps between the pavement and the bus or the platform and the train
fits into designated spaces for pushchairs in buses and trains

Compatibility with your own car:

If you often spend your time getting from point A to point B by car, a buggy or pushchair that can be transformed into a travel system by using adapters is just the right thing for you. So-called travel systems come with a stroller incl. chassis, a carrycot and an infant car seat. That way, you can easily take your baby from the car to the next destination without waking them up. All you have to do is to remove the infant car seat from the car, attach it to the chassis and off you go. Therefore, you should look for buggies and pushchairs that:

are compatible with an infant car seat and/ or carrycot
are light enough to frequently put them into and lift them out of the car boot
can be folded to a compact size to minimise space in the car boot

Compatibility with an active lifestyle:

If you live in the fast lane when it comes to sports and fitness and you do not want to give up your lifestyle even with a child, you’ll definitely need a buggy or pushchair that is suitable for off-road use. These models are great for frequent walks in the park or strolls on forest paths. They provide stability and a customisable push bar for maximum comfort when being on the move. Look for buggies and pushchairs, which feature:

large wheels for comfortable navigation on different surfaces (three-wheeled buggies or pushchairs are a good choice here)
excellent suspension that can easily cope with a brisk morning walk or hike
an adjustable push bar for more comfort and adaptability to different sizes

In terms of these core properties, it is definitely worth testing different models, if possible. For example, you can make a list of questions or characteristics that are important to you and work your way through it for making the right choice.

Important questions are above all:

How easy is it (the buggy or pushchair) to manoeuvre?
How robust/ sturdy does it look?
Is there a reversible seat unit?
Are folding and storing easy both at home and in the car?
Are the brakes easy to operate and does the buggy or pushchair feel safe in parking mode?
Can a buggy board or ride-on board be used so that older siblings can rest or ride along with?
What is the total width of the buggy/ pushchair?

Which accessories do you need?

Often you can already get most of the accessories with the buggy or pushchair together in a practical set. If this is not the case, you can upgrade or expand your new companion with the necessary accessories. Very important accessories are a rain cover or a sun canopy (some are equipped with a UV protection and mosquito net) or an additional sunshade. For the cold season, it is advisable to buy a footmuff, so that your little one is always cuddled up and feels warm. Many parents also buy toys that can be attached to the play bar – this is particularly convenient for keeping your child busy, but also a cute eye-catcher when you're on the move.
