Why The Biggest "Myths" About Stroller And Pushchair Could B…

Choosing Between a Stroller and Pushchair

It can be difficult to select the right travel system for you and your baby. It's crucial to know the distinctions between a best pushchair and a stroller (also called pram).

Strollers are made for older babies and toddlers who are able to sit upright without assistance. They are light, compact when folded, and typically include a seat that can be adjusted to a variety of recline positions.

The history of strollers

Strollers were not popular until the latter half of the nineteenth century. Although there was a tradition of dragging babies around for long periods of time (Egyptian art from the time of the Pharaoh depicts various forms of infant transport, and European art often depicts Mary carrying Jesus in an sling), strollers were only popularized in the latter half of the 19th century. This change took place as Americans increased their wealth, moved to suburbia, and were blessed with miles of roads and sidewalks.

The first strollers resembled carts, and were often drawn by animals. Later on, a parent or nanny would take on this task. Early strollers were referred to as perambulators. They were usually facing forward and the child would be able to see the back of the person pushing it.

The first stroller that was recognized was created by American inventor Charles Burton in the 1800s. It featured a three wheel push design and Queen Victoria purchased three of them. The term "buggy" remained in use and, in the 1900s, new generations began to improve stroller performance and comfort.

Advances in plastics, aluminum and composite materials with lightweight properties allowed modern strollers to be made. Strollers became stronger and more compact and feature features such as rubberized tires with adjustable handles, a tight-knit wicker and parking brakes. The earliest strollers were weighing upwards of 50 pounds which is quite a bit heavier than the average modern stroller.

One of the most significant innovations came when designer Ickle Bubba Discovery Max Pushchair - Silver/Grey Barenburg conceived a stroller that allowed stroller seats to be combined on one frame, resulting in the first ever modular stroller. His design, which was dubbed the Bugaboo revolutionized stroller technology, and also brought a whole host of knock-offs like UPPAbaby.

In the 1980s a man by the name of Phil Baechler decided that he was going to run while carrying his son. He realized that the standard stroller wheel was not capable of handling the terrain. His solution was to attach bicycle tires to the frame of a traditional stroller, creating the first baby-jogger. Since then, stroller manufacturers continue to innovate to meet the demands of active parents and their children. You'll see strollers being used today by everyone from runners to casual walkers.

Strollers for infants

Newborns need a stroller that has a car seat for newborns. Also known as a travel system, strollers come with an infant car seat that is removable that snaps into the frame of the stroller and allows parents to carry a sleeping newborn without unbuckling them and awakening them.

These models, which are commonly referred to as prams in Britain, have a flat surface to support the weight of the infant and permit them to lie back completely (in accordance with the advice of Red Nose or other child safety groups). Some models also come with a carrycot that is suitable for a newborn up to six months old and a toddler seat.

Many strollers come with an adjustable seat that can be used in the forward-facing and parent-facing position. You can choose between these positions depending on your preferences and your baby's requirements.
