Which buggy is the best? The large Hartan Guide

The baby is growing and growing, becoming more mobile, and maybe even taking its first steps? At a certain point, the classic stroller seems too bulky and unwieldy. Now it's high time for a practical alternative: A buggy is needed! But there are an enormous number of models that promise exceptional quality. So the question quickly arises: Which buggy is the best? In this article, we show you which criteria are important for choosing a model and compare our high-quality Hartan buggies with each other, so you don't have to rack your brains when making your selection.

Which buggy suits me? The most important selection criteria

Parents only want the best for their baby. This applies in particular to essential baby items such as prams and buggies, which are used daily and in which the child spends a lot of time. Although a buggy is usually recommended for children aged 6 months and not suitable from birth, it should still meet the highest requirements. Therefore, there are certain selection criteria that are crucial regardless of your individual wishes and needs:

• User-friendliness: The buggy should be intuitive to operate and respond quickly without much effort.

• Comfort: The child must sit comfortably, and the handling of the buggy must also be pleasant for the parents.

• Features: The buggy should ride smoothly, be stable, and have good suspension.

• Quality: High-quality materials, best workmanship, stability, and safety are crucial for a buggy.

Furthermore, a number of individual criteria play an important role in choosing a buggy:

Purpose & Terrain: How will you use the buggy?

Are you navigating the buggy through narrow streets in the city center or are you off-road in the forest? The terrain and the purpose are crucial for choosing a buggy - after all, it should be comfortable to push and steer.

For families living in urban environments, compactness, maneuverability, and lightness are key when buying a buggy. Small, swivel front wheels contribute to the buggy's maneuverability, allowing it to easily pass through small shops, between parked cars, and on buses and trains.

If, on the other hand, you have nature and gravel on your doorstep, you need a model that can handle outdoor terrain. Here, the focus is on suspension and stability. Larger, lockable air-chamber wheels and 4-wheel suspension gently compensate for uneven ground and ensure a smooth ride. This allows you to easily steer the buggy on forest paths, gravel roads, and soft ground.

Comfort & Design

Although the buggy is primarily a means of transport, it should be comfortable for both you and your child, look good, and also have certain features that make everyday life easier for you.

Although most models are not used from birth, a comfortable sitting and reclining area is essential. A buggy should therefore be ergonomic and have a continuously adjustable backrest and adjustable footrest. This allows the child to take a nap on the go. Other important features include a shopping basket, cup holder, sun protection, and more, which relieve you in daily use. Therefore, when searching for your buggy, make sure that the desired model also has the extras and functions that are useful for you.

Weight and folding size: Which buggy is the lightest?

In addition to the driving characteristics, comfort, and features, the size, weight, and folding size of a buggy also play a crucial role. Especially if you have to carry it up stairs daily, store it in the trunk, or take it with you on plane and train trips, a lighter, compact model is useful. Models weighing 7-8 kg with a small folding size are particularly suitable here, or special travel buggies that are even lighter to carry. A one-hand folding mechanism is also excellent if you are traveling alone with luggage and a child.
