When Can You Convert the Stroller into a Buggy?

You look at the stroller, see your little one - who is growing like a weed - and wonder if it's time to convert the stroller into a buggy. Your baby is sitting more steadily and looking around curiously. But when is the right moment for this transition? In this blog, we'll try to answer this question for you.

The Right Age for Conversion

In general, you can convert the stroller into a buggy when your baby can sit up independently. In one of our other blogs, we explain when a child is ready for a buggy. This is usually around the age of 6 months. It is important that your baby has developed enough neck and torso muscles to sit upright without support. You can check the following points:

1. Your baby should be able to sit upright without assistance.

2. Your child should be able to support their head well.

3. If you notice that your baby is outgrowing the bassinet and starting to feel uncomfortable, it's time for the buggy.

How to Convert Joolz Strollers into a Buggy

Converting a Joolz stroller into a buggy is a simple process, thanks to the smart design and flexibility of Joolz strollers. Here are the steps to convert your Joolz stroller into a buggy (for specific instructions, refer to our manuals for each model):

1. Remove the Bassinet

For most Joolz strollers, such as the Joolz Day+, Joolz Geo³, and Joolz Hub+, start by loosening and removing the bassinet. This is done by releasing the locking mechanisms on the sides or bottom of the bassinet and gently lifting it off the frame.

2. Attach the Seat

After removing the bassinet, place the buggy seat on the frame. The buggy seat usually has the same attachment points as the bassinet. Make sure the seat clicks securely into the frame.

3. Adjust the Backrest

Most Joolz buggy seats come with adjustable backrests. Adjust the backrest to suit your child's needs, ensuring they can sit or lie comfortably. The seat can often be positioned from upright to fully flat.

4. Secure the Safety Belt

Ensure the safety belt is correctly attached and functioning properly. The belt should keep your child securely in place, especially during bumpy rides.

5. Add Accessories

Joolz offers various accessories to make your buggy even more comfortable and practical, such as a parasol, footmuff, or rain cover. Add these accessories to adapt the buggy to the weather conditions and your child's needs.

6. Check the Wheels and Brakes

Before heading out, check that the wheels and brakes are functioning properly. Ensure the wheels turn smoothly and the brakes are reliable.
