Choosing A Buggy Pushchair!
A cradle board is a type of Native American baby carrier used in the past; that has evolved with time. Cradleboards were designed to allow mothers the freedom to work and perform other chores as well as travel. Cradleboards have evolved from simple flat pieces of wood woven from flexible twigs like willow and hazel, and cushioned with soft absorbent materials into push-able baby carriers with three or four wheels.
The term “pushchair” is commonly used in the United Kingdom where it applies to the modern version of the Cradleboard that is more compact in design; this new version of Cradleboard is referred to as a “buggy” and has become more popular due to its convenient design that makes extensive use of aluminum frames. British aeronautical designer Owen McLaren designed and patented the McLaren baby buggy in 1965 which was a lightweight, alluminium, folding buggy pushchair.
The term “pushchair” is a common name used in the United Kingdom but is increasingly being replaced by “buggy”. Both words mean basically the same thing – a much more convenient way of transporting babies around than in the past.
Today, there is a wide variety of pushchair models available. These include Silver Cross Pop, Jane Carrera Pro, Mountain buggy urban, Quinny buzz 3, Micralite Fastfold, and Phil and Ted’s Sport. Each buggy pushchair is uniquely designed to accommodate the different demands of potential users; for instance, the Silver Cross Pop is very stylish based on a classic 4-wheel design that is suitable for infants from 0 to 6 months. Jane Carrera pro is a buggy pushchair type that boasts great looks with washable covers and large storage. The Mountain buggy urban is an all-terrain pushchair featuring pneumatic wheels and height adjustable handle bars.
To those looking for the latest design of buggy pushchair, Quinny buzz 3 is a good match; it has fashionable features such as three wheels and all terrain inflatable pneumatic wheels. Also, this pushchair has a reversible unit so baby can face you while on the stroll. That in my opinion is a great feature. Apart from the comfort your infant wiill feel at being able to see you at all times, it’s nice to be able to see your child whilst pushing it around and communicate with it.
Micralite Fastfold is a four-wheeled pushchair that weighs a little over 10 kilogram, is lightweight yet still robust and sturdy. When searching for ultra-fashionable pushchair with fantastic all-terrain three-wheeled stroller, Phil and Ted’s Sport is a good fit though it is a bit pricy.
There are two ways to walk to our local park. The logical way is to the end of the grove and along the main road for about 500 yards. The ‘short cut’ is through the woods. We quite happily walked the long way round every day, but daddy decided otherwise. He thought it was fun to race our first buggy pushchair over the bumps but the pushchair didn’t last long. We replaced it with an all terrain model and it survived daddies rough treatment long enough for our second baby - now Issy pushes her dolls round in it, so although pricy we are still getting value out of it.
