Why Baby Comes First When Choosing a Pushchair

If you are already a parent you will understand the concept that baby comes first.  Whatever you do from the moment that your child arrives will be dictated by their needs.  It is a good idea to get into this mind-set before your first child makes their entrance into the world as you will need to make some important decisions if you want to give your little ones the best start in life.

Nowhere is this more obvious than in your choice of baby equipment, such as a pushchair.  Your choice of pushchair may not seem that pressing but when you consider your baby will need to be transported in it from birth and that it will need to accommodate them on trips out until they are able to walk sufficient distances without tiring (or running off!), then your choice of pushchair is a pretty monumental one.

What do you need to consider when buying a pushchair?

  • The age of your child now and how long ideally you would like the pushchair to last
  • Whether you have other young children who will need to be accommodated by the stroller
  • How much space you have in your car boot and your home to store the pushchair when not in use
  • What types of terrain you will need to cover in the pushchair – for example, do you like to go out walking at the weekend or do you love to go shopping?
  • Whether you use public transport, a car or like to walk everywhere

By asking yourself these questions first you can ensure that you choose a pushchair that will suit your lifestyle and most importantly cater for your baby’s needs.

The style and design of a pushchair will also come into the equation but as you become a parent you will no doubt realise that the safety and comfort of your child, plus the ease of use a stroller offers, will be top of your list.
