What You Should Know About Pushchairs

A pushchair is a small wheeled chair in which a small or infant child can sit and be wheeled around. They are usually made for babies ranging from 6 to 12 months and can have an incline that faces away or towards the parent.

All-terrain strollers are equipped with three wheels for maximum stability on rough terrain. They often have PU tyres which have shock absorbing properties, which reduce the risk of puncture.

Five-point harness

Five-point harnesses are akin to seat belts in cars and are designed to keep babies safe while in pushchairs. These harnesses keep children in their strollers seated to prevent them from falling out or climbing out while you're not looking. Make sure the harness can be adjusted correctly and is securely fixed.

A 5-point harness transfers force from a crash to the rigid parts of the body of a child, namely the hips and shoulders. This allows the soft areas of their body, such as the abdomen to absorb and cushion the shock. This also prevents them from getting tossed around in the event of sudden stop or turn.

When you are using a harness, it is essential to ensure that the straps are not saggy and are flat against the skin of the child. Straps that are twisted can cause serious injury to a child as they focus crash forces on a smaller portion of their body. There are two ways straps can be bent:

To prevent this from happening, begin by putting your baby in their seat, making sure they're seated all the way back and not leaning forward or slouching. Then, slide their arms through the harness straps as if they're putting on a vest. Finally, clip the shoulder straps together to form a single connection that buckles into the crotch buckle between their legs. Click the chest clip shut and tighten the straps to secure the harness.
