Buggy:

Another word for pushchair, often used interchangeably.

Carrycot:

A separate cot-like unit where baby can lie-flat. It attaches to the pushchair frame. Some pushchairs include a carrycot, others have it as an optional add-on.

Car seat compatible:

This refers to a pushchair that can be fitted with a car seat. It allows you to click your car seat into your pushchair with baby inside it, so you don’t need to disturb them by removing them from their car seat. It’s useful when you want to pop in and out of the car. Or if your baby is napping and you don’t want to wake them. Not every pushchair is car seat compatible with every car seat, so you’ll need to check. Often adaptors can be used to make a pushchair compatible with a car seat, but again this will depend on the model of pushchair and car seat, so always check. And remember being in their car seat for extended periods isn’t advised- check the NHS guidance for more information.

Parent-facing Mode:

Otherwise known as ‘rear-facing.’ This is when they’re pushchair faces the parent pushing them, allowing you to keep an eye on your little one. It helps them to feel safe, facing a familiar face. A lovely way to bond. First-stage pushchairs are usually in this mode, or you’ll have the option to be in this mode.

Pram:

This is another word for pushchair, often used as a term for a newborn pushchair with carrycot.

Pushchair:

The overarching term for prams, strollers and modes of transport for little ones! This tends to cover all the categories and types on the market.

Stroller:

An American term for lighter more compact pushchairs, often used after the age of 6 months.

Travel System:

A travel system consists of a pushchair frame, upon which other parts can be fitted. These parts include carrycot, seat unit and car seat. These are all purchased together as a package or ‘bundle’ meaning they’re good value for money. For more info read our Travel Systems Buying Guide.

World-facing Mode:

Also known as ‘forward-facing’ mode. Most first-stage pushchairs give you the option to move into this mode when you’re ready. As your baby develops and becomes inquisitive, you might want to swap to world-facing mode so they can watch the world around them. It’s advised to make this transition gradually- try an hour at a time - so they won’t feel too overwhelmed by their new view.
