What to Look For in a Pushchair Car Seat

A pushchair is a baby chair with wheels that is specifically designed for babies as little as 6 months old. They typically have an adjustable seat that can recline to lay flat and come with a five-point harness.

Some pushchairs can be used right from the time of birth, by incorporating a compatible car seat or carrycot to create an entire travel system. This lets your child move easily from the car to the pushchair without being disturbed.

Safety

There are many safety features that you should be looking for when selecting a car seat to use as a pushchair. Whether you're considering a brand new or second-hand model, it's important to ensure that the model you choose is in line with the necessary British standards and requirements.

Check that your pushchair is compliant with BS 7409:1996 or BS EN 1888:2003 prior to you purchase it. This will guarantee that it's safe for infants and children to ride in. This includes ensuring that it has an locking device that is safe and that the brakes are working properly.
