Some pushchairs can be used with a car seats to create travel system. This allows your child to move easily from the car to the pushchair without having to be interrupted.

Safety

There are a number of essential safety features to be looking for in a car seat. If you're thinking of buying a brand new or second-hand model it's crucial to make sure that the pushchair you select meets the essential British standards and regulations.

Make sure that your pushchair is in compliance with BS 197409:1996 or BS EN 1888:2003 prior to you buy it. This will ensure that it's safe for infants and children to ride in. This will include ensuring that it's fitted with a safe locking device and that the brakes are working properly (check these regularly).

It is worth looking for an automobile seat that can recline into a flat position when choosing a pushchair. This is important for newborns as research shows that babies who spend a significant amount of time in a seated position can have breathing problems. The car seat's wavy shape limits their airways, which causes them to struggle to breathe.

Alternatively, you can choose a car seat that is able to snap onto the frame of your toddler stroller as part of a travel system bundle. This allows you to switch between your stroller and car easier, as you won't need to wake your baby up each time you need to switch between modes of transport.

This kind of protection can be crucial in the case of a side-on collision, which is more dangerous for babies in the earliest stages of development.

Another useful safety feature is the top tether. This stops the car seats from spinning forward in the event of an accident, and reduces the risk of head injuries. Make sure your child's pushchair has this feature as it's a legal requirement in all car seats that are coach-built.
