Buggies

When there’s a new member in your family, one of the most important questions to ask yourself is how to get out and about with them. This is why you need to choose the right buggy that will work best for you and your baby. We don’t want you to experience any confusion when it comes to the purchase, so read on to better understand which baby buggies work best for you. 

Even before we understand the various aspects of the baby buggies, let us first understand what exactly a buggy is. Buggy is an American term for a stroller or a pushchair. Similarly, in Britain, a buggy is more commonly known as a pram. You’ll find the stroller to be collapsible and lightweight. Moreover, it is more suitable for older babies. Meanwhile, a pushchair is sturdier than a stroller and enables you to fully recline the seats. You can either have them parent-facing or forward-facing. Apart from that, they’re geared for both infants and older babies. What’s more, you can also fold them flat. Well, there’s much more to explore about the baby buggies besides this. Keep reading to find out.

Various types of buggies to choose from

You now have a basic idea of what the carriages are. However, do you know? There are several types of prams, strollers and carriages out there. For instance, if you want to go for a standard pram, you will enjoy a wide array of designs to select from. Some come with a triangular chassis with the wheels attached to a central point. You can also find buggies with four wheels at each corner of a square chassis. This features one wheel at the front and two at the back of the frame. The beauty of the front wheel is that you can lock and free-swivel it. This, in turn, enables the pram to go in a straight line. Among the several types of 3-wheelers include tandem or twin, travel systems, urban, and all-terrain pushchairs (ATPs). Let’s have a look at the few significant types in detail.

The baby travel buggy

Keeping your baby safe and secure while travelling and transporting your baby is imperative. At times like this, the baby travel carriages come in handy. A travel buggy usually combines a buggy with a detachable car seat. The system may also feature a pram unit that’s ideal for babies up to 6 months old. With this design, your newborn babies can lie flat. Indeed, the car seat is a vital safety tool for your kids when travelling in a vehicle. Therefore, you must use them only when travelling, and not as a device where your child can sleep at home. However, the carriages with lie-flat car seats are an exception. All in all, the travel systems for babies are great for young babies.

The ATP mountain buggy

Are you an adventure-loving parent? Well, then these all-terrain-pushchairs or buggies are the perfect choices for you. Their unique design enables you to use them while you’re off-road as well as around the town. By the way, these devices are larger than the regular buggy and come with pneumatic tyres and good suspension. Moreover, the robust chassis and the frame withstand any kind of bumps and bounces that come when you travel off-road. Apart from that, many three-wheeler ATP’s come with front-swivel wheels that make it easier for you to steer over the rough grounds. However, their large size makes it harder for you to lift or stroll them down the narrow space.

The standard buggy for newborn

One of the most regular kinds of carriages is the 4-wheeler buggies. They are suitable for babies over six months of age. However, you’ll find many different options for these carriages that come with the lie-flat option that lets you use them from birth. Not only that, they come in different designs. Some have four wheels at each corner of a square chassis, while the other comes with a triangular chassis that comes with wheels at the centre of the buggy. Obviously, varied designs come along different price ranges too. In other words, you can find these kinds of carriages at various price points that range from as low as AED 500 to as high as AED 1500 and above. The choice indeed depends on your personal preference.

The baby buggy pram

As mentioned earlier in this article, prams are indeed a different version of buggies themselves. Typically, a pram is a carrycot on wheels. It allows a newborn baby to lie flat, which in turn allows you to use them for the next six months of your baby’s development. What’s more, you’ll find some carriages that come with a detachable carrycot. You can convert these types into a buggy seat. This way, you can use them first as a pram and then as a buggy. With the advancement of technology, many manufacturers now are building carrycots suitable for overnight sleeping. Most of these carrycots come with mattresses that are best for overnight sleeping.
