They can be pushed in either forward-facing or parent-facing modes, allowing parents to enjoy the sights and sounds of their surroundings with their young baby beside them.

Another thing to consider is the design of the pushchair car seat. It should be easy to maneuver on the road, in the car park and over rough terrain. The wheels should have good traction and offer a smooth, unhurried ride for both the baby and parent. It is also a good idea to select a pushchair that has an operating brake that can be operated by the foot. This will enable you to stop the pushchair without having to reach for the handbrake or be concerned about your child's feet getting stuck.

There are a variety of accessories for pushchairs, such as hoods, footmuffs, shopping baskets and drink holders. Some manufacturers produce car seat adaptors that can be attached to an infant car seat that is compatible with the pushchair. This eliminates the need to transfer babies who are asleep from the car to the pushchair. This can be stressful for the baby as well as the parents.
