What is a single buggy?
A single buggy, also referred to as a sleigh, or a sleigh-like carriage, is essentially an all-wheeled, lightweight carriage that's usually pulled by ONE horse. It is commonly used by Amish people, and is also known as a Sleigh. A single buggy is a popular choice for families since it is easy to move around for all members of the family.

Different types of single buggies
A buggy that is lightweight can be an ideal option for parents who travel often or plan to take public transportation with their child, or take a trip. They typically weigh less than 6kg in weight and fold down to a small size which means they can be easily carried in the overhead luggage compartments on flights. Buggies that are lightweight are great for travelling around town because they're easy to manoeuvre. They'll typically come with a raincover and sunshade as well - both worth the investment to keep your baby comfortable at all times!
A jogger's buggy is large with BMX wheels and is specifically designed for use in the gym. It also has adequate suspension to withstand the bounces and bumps of off-road usage. It can be difficult to control a jogger buggie since the front wheels can be able to rotate. Locking this wheel is crucial when crossing roads or mounting kerbs.
Some single buggies can be convertible that allows the seat to face either forwards or backwards (known as parent-facing). This is great for babies who are fussy and prefer to be capable of seeing their parents. Other models are only forward-facing, so they're ideal for older children who don't like being disturbed.
There are also tandem buggies which can accommodate two children who are the same age. This is useful for families with twins or babies born close together but they can be difficult to steer, especially in narrow spaces. Some tandem buggies feature a reclining mechanism in each seat, which means your child can lie flat while you push them.
The best single-buggy for you will be determined by your lifestyle, budget and family size. If you're expecting a baby think about a light buggy with a seat that can be used from birth. If you're looking to secure your finances choose an individual buggy that can adapt to a double buggy for the day when you need it.
