Choosing
a buggy can be a daunting task for new to be parent's. You want
to make sure that it's suitable for your new arrival but also want
something that is also looks good. So with there being so many
different buggys, travel systems, pushchairs on the market I wanted
to share with you some things you need to think of before parting
with your hard earned cash.
Your
Baby/Toddlers needs
Your
child's needs will differ from age to age for a new born you will
need one that will fully lie flat or alternatively you could use
a carry cot that attaches. When your baby outgrows you may want them
to face you so buying a unit that has a reversible seat means that
you can have them facing you or away from you so that they
can see the world around them.
You
may also need to consider if you need a Tandem buggy if
you have another child that is close in age and will still need to be
using a buggy.
Your
budget
This
one is a biggy Online4baby has
a range of buggys and other must have items for a range of budgets. A
complete travel system can be a great investment as you wont need to
purchase a separate car seat for your child's first year. But
one of the questions you have to really ask yourself when choosing a
buggy is can you actually afford the one you have your eye on.
Your
lifestyle
When
choosing a buggy you also need to take your lifestyle into
consideration. Here are some examples you need to think about:
-
If you travel by car a lot a travel system would be a must but you
need to make sure you have a buggy that will fit in the boot of your
car and also one where the car seat is compatible.
-
If like me you go on the bus regularly you will need one that is
lightweight and folds away easily.
-
If you do a lot of walking you will need something that can handle
rough pathways and uneven surfaces.
-Think
about the size of your home and where you will be able to store you
pushchair. If space is limited you will need something that folds
away small and compact.
-
Another thing to consider is if you live in a flat how you will be
getting it up stairs if you don't live on the ground floor. If like
me you need to carry it up the stairs than you will need a light
weight one.
