The basic baby buggy / baby stroller is an economy choice and is an ideal second buggy or for using on holiday. It has a fixed seat position which means it is suitable for ages of approximately 6 months onwards. This practical buggy comes with either fixed or swivel wheels and is an umbrella fold.
The lie-back basic baby buggy / baby stroller differs only from the above in it does exactly that having more than one back rest position enabling your baby to sit up or lie back for sleeping. The age range for this pushchair is dependent upon the seating position and is usually from about 3 months onwards.
The middle range and the most popular are the baby pushchair, baby buggy and the baby stroller that combine the above attributes together with a matching hood and raincover.
We also stock a range of pushchairs that are a fold-flat style, (folding in half), forming a flat square shaped package. These are usually at least 2 position lie back or have a toggle back adjuster. Most have swivel wheels, a large under shopping basket, hood and rain cover.
3 wheel baby pushchairs are also available and can have either air tyres or pvc. They fold flat and come with a front fixable swivel wheel.
If you regularly use a car, an excellent option for a new born baby is a travel system. This consists of a pushchair and a Childs 1st car seat. We also stock either 3 or 4 wheel versions. The main advantage is the baby does not have to be disturbed when transferring from the car to pushchair or visa versa.
If you have twins or 2 small babies the main question is should the double pushchair be a side by side (babies sit next to each other) or a Tandem (older child at front, younger at back). If the 1st child is 2 years plus, it may well be worth considering a buggy step on a single pushchair. Doubles come with lie-back, hood and swivel wheels as standard. Some fold umbrella style and others fold flat like for example the Hauck Duo Shopper.
All the baby buggies, baby strollers, baby pushchairs, baby joggers, baby double buggies and baby travel systems shown on our web shop come with a 5 point harness as standard and are all tested to British Safety Standards.~~~1829~1833~~
