| Some things to bear in mind when looking
for a buggy:
|
|

|
Personal Preference - 3 wheels or 4 wheels
Do you do a lot of walking? - 3 wheelers are very tolerant of bumpy ground (city/country)
|
|
Suspension & Air Tyres?
|
Essential for comfort of your baby on Irish footpaths/fields/beach ..
|
|
Fold Mechanism?
|
Is the buggy easy to fold?
Is it free standing when folded?
Is it an umbrella fold / telescopic fold?
Will it fit in your car boot?
Are the wheels quick release?
|
|
Suitable Age Group?
|
Is the buggy suitable for a newborn? (Does it recline 100%?)
What is the weight limit for the buggy?
What is the height of the seats/hoods? (if your children are tall)
|
|
Travel System compatible?
|
Can buggy take a carseat? (often invaluable in the early days when you don't want to disturb your small sleeping baby when moving from car to house or buggy)
|
|
Weight?
|
What is the weight of the buggy? (be careful that figure includes wheels,hoods, shopping basket and buggy seat!)
Important to know this as you will be pushing/lifting buggy for a long time!
