What to Look For in a Pushchair Car Seat A pushchair is a chair on wheels specifically designed for infants from 6 months. They typically have an adjustable seat that can recline to lie flat and come with a five-point harness. Some pushchairs are able to be used from birth by adding the appropriate carrycot or car seat to create an entire travel system. This allows your child to move easily from the car to the pushchair without having to be disturbed. Safety There are several important safety features you should look for in a pushchair car seat. It is crucial that the pushchair you choose meets British standards and regulations, regardless of whether it's a brand new model or a second-hand model. Check that your pushchair is compliant with BS 7409:1996 or BS EN 1888:2003 before you buy it. This will ensure that it's safe for babies and children to travel in. This will include ensuring that it's fitted with a safe locking device and that the brakes are working properly (check these often). When choosing a pushchair car seat, it's worth looking for one that can recline to a lie-flat position.
