Points to Consider When Buying Buggies
There are many important decisions to take when you are a new parent expecting your first baby. Do you find out the sex of the baby? What furniture should you buy? How should you decorate their room? Which buggy should you buy? Here, we will concern ourselves with the last question: which buggy should you buy, and why.
There are many different styles of buggy, and depending on the age of the child, the lifestyle of the parents, the different places you are planning to visit, the quality of the buggy, etc, certain styles will suit, others will not. There is also the issue of branding, do you opt for a high quality design, such as that of Maclaren buggies, or simply opt for a stores own brand – are there any differences between the two?
The age of the child is very important when it comes to choosing the most appropriate buggy. There are different designs for newborns, babies aged 4-6 months, and those aged 6 months – toddler. With newborn babies, you need to buy a buggy that allows the baby to lie flat, babies aged 4-6 months are starting to sit up, and so require a buggy that supports their posture, while allowing them to sit up, babies aged 6 months – toddlerhood are able to sit up unsupported, the backs of the chairs should allow them the freedom of sitting up with little support, if they rely on back supports to sit up, this can affect their posture as they grow older. Maclaren buggies have a full range of buggies for all age groups – follow the link below to view their collection. If you have an active lifestyle, you will want to purchase a buggy that can facilitate your needs. Certain buggies are designed for a fast-paced life, they come with fantastic suspension and great manoeuvrability, many people purchase buggies that allow them to jog with the baby, these are easy to spot as they only have three wheels, the single wheel being at the front.
When choosing a buggy, the material from which it is made is of paramount importance, some materials are better wearing than others are, and, although the baby is not likely to stay in the buggy for more than a few years, you may want to use the buggy again, later, with another baby. However, most parents rate the durability of the material, second to the ease at which the material can be cleaned. Babies are not overly concerned (not at all concerned, in fact) with how clean they keep their environment, they tend to get very messy, and many a buggy has been thrown away because of the state in which they have got.
Finally, there is the consideration of brand name. Some of the better-known brands, such as Maclaren buggies, are well known for the level of quality and care that goes into the making of the prams. These manufacturers go to great pains to ensure that all their buggies meet the highest levels of quality, and safety, control. The industry is highly regulated, and these brands can be trusted. Occasionally, newspapers report of problems with a certain brand of pram, but you will find that these businesses correct any mistakes as soon as they come to light. Own brands are good, but not as good as those manufacturers that have been designing buggies for children for more than just a few decades.
