With a buggy you can easily transport your child. However, you should be careful not to buy one too early, as your child will usually be sitting rather than lying down in it. Since every child develops individually, it makes sense to cater to the abilities and needs of your child. Of course, you should also consider the safety aspects when making your choice.
We have compiled a checklist of additional factors to consider. In our product recommendations you will also find many products around the topic of children’s buggies.
- As soon as your baby wants to sit, you can switch from a stroller to a baby buggy. Some babies can already ride in a buggy at the age of six months , others need more time.
- From the age of about four years, children no longer need a buggy and can cover most distances on their own.
- Children’s buggies with four wheels offer extra stability and special robustness.
- On the other hand, a buggy with one front wheel and two rear wheelsoffers extreme flexibility thanks to its small turning circle and high maneuverability.
- If you often want to stow the buggy in the car trunk, a model with a one-hand folding mechanism is a good choice. These children’s buggies fold themselves at the push of a button.
- Particularly compact children’s buggies can not only be folded, but some also have a shoulder strap for comfortable transport. This solution is ideal if your child can already walk by itself and needs the buggy only sporadically.
- To prevent your little one from falling out of the buggy, you should choose a model with an individually adjustable 5-point harness.
- To prevent the buggy from rolling away, a brake directly on the push handle is ideal. On the other hand, a parking brake is indispensable to secure the rear wheels.
- Small children and babies in particular need a lot of support when riding in a buggy. The seat should be able to be individually adapted to your little one and support it when sitting.
- Adjusting the seat to a semi-recumbent or reclining position promises more comfort for your baby or toddler, especially during longer outings. He or she can take a nap while walking in a reclined position and then explore the world with renewed energy.
- However, the tires are also decisive for the ride comfort. Hard rubber tires provide a smooth ride on asphalt. However, if you frequently ride on dirt roads, pneumatic tires are best suited, as they can cushion the unevenness of the ground.
- Buggies that have an adapter for a baby seat are suitable for outings from birth onwards.
- A rain cover makes your baby buggy the ideal vehicle for your little one even in the cold season.
- Luggage compartment as well as holders for drinking bottle provide even more comfort in everyday life.

FAQ Kids Buggies
Unlike a stroller, your baby is transported sitting in a baby buggy. It can have two or four wheels and usually folds up very easily when needed. However, some models also have an adjustable reclining function.
A baby buggy is suitable from about the 6th month of your child’s life. However, this is only a recommendation, so you should consider the abilities and needs of your child in each individual case.
A buggy can cost up to 200 euros or more. The price usually depends on what features the buggy has and whether certain accessories are included.
From the age of about 4 years, your child can usually walk on its own and no longer needs a buggy. But again, every child is different. For longer excursions, it may therefore make sense to take the buggy along again.
The frame of a children’s buggy is usually made of aluminum or steel. Therefore, the buggy is very robust and shows no damage so quickly if handled properly. The fabric of the buggy is also very easy to clean, so you can remove dirt easily. The cover should also be water-repellent, so that you can use the buggy even in bad weather. Therefore, it is often made of polyester.
That depends entirely on what soiling the buggy has in each individual case. If you were with your child in the rain, you can rinse the frame and the dirty wheels with warm water. If, on the other hand, there are stubborn stains on the cover of the buggy, you can use a detergent to remove the dirt. Often, these covers cannot be removed from the buggy, which is why you cannot wash them in the washing machine.
It is important that the buggy can be adjusted to the size of your child. If you are on the road a lot, it is helpful that the buggy can be folded quickly and easily. There are also various combi strollers, which you can convert into a sports buggy in seconds. This can then be used for many years. However, it makes little sense to buy a buggy with a reclining function if you already own a stroller.
To ensure that the safety of your child is not endangered at any time, the buggy should have a 5-point harness so that your child cannot accidentally fall out. A parking brake is also an advantage, for example, if you want to stop briefly. In addition, you can react quickly in emergency situations.
Some models come with a rain or sun cover. Many buggies also offer additional storage space, so that you can store care utensils or your child’s bottle there.
That depends on where you want to use the buggy regularly. If you often travel with your child in the city, you should choose a buggy with hard rubber tires. On rough terrain, on the other hand, pneumatic tires are more suitable because they have better suspension. This allows your child to sleep peacefully without being disturbed, even on long and uneven stretches.
Most buggies can be used optimally up to a weight of 25 kilograms. However, as a precaution, check the manufacturer’s specifications again, as your child’s safety can no longer be guaranteed if this figure is exceeded. The buggy itself should also not be too heavy, so that you can easily move it with your child.
