Stroller, pushchair and pram accessories
Choosing a stroller is only half the decision; you’ll probably want to think about accessories too. From sunshades to keep your child safe in the sun to footmuffs to keep them warm in the winter, there are lots to choose from. Here’s a quick rundown of the different types and how they work.
Footmuffs
Footmuffs basically work like sleeping bags and fit securely into strollers. They're a great way of helping your child stay warm in the winter.
Parasols or sunshades
Parasols and sunshades do the opposite job by keeping your child out of the sun. They can normally be adjusted to keep your child covered as the sub moves and will usually attach to the frame of the stroller.
Head support cushion
Head support cushions are designed to provide young children with extra support and comfort when they're in a stroller or car seat.
Covers and nets
A rain cover or hood is a must-have in a rainy country such as ours. while a net can come in handy if you want to keep insects away, Just make sure you don't use them indoors or when it's hot to prevent overheating.
Changing bags and attachments
Changing bags are a convenient way of bringing along everything you'll need when you're out and about with your child. Some come with changing mats, insulated pockets and places to store solid items too.
Coffee cup holders
This might not seem like an essential accessory, but it'll really come in handy if you want to be able to drink and push at the same time! It can also double as a holder for your child's drink if needed.
Buggy boards
Buggy boards are a cost-efficient way of turning a single stroller into a double-child carrier. They attach to the back of the stroller and give toddlers a place to stand (or sometimes sit) when their legs get tiered, and a younger sibling is already in the stroller seat
