What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish and elegant pram that is fashionable and practical. It is simple to put together and can be transformed into double. It also comes with a large storage basket.

This brilliant travel system makes it simple to "future secure" by adding an appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds neatly and easily with just one hand, and stands up when collapsed.

Seat

It is likely that your child will use the pram with car seat often and it's important to ensure it's comfortable. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, a comfortable seat padding and a reclining function so that you can easily lay your child to sleep. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be set to be 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', when your child is getting older and wants to see what is happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me comes with an innovative feature that allows parents to keep their child close and maintain eye contact. Jaya the tester for our parents has praised this as an excellent option for newborns and infants.

When selecting a pram you should consider the overall size. You don't want to to worry about it taking up too much room in your home or vehicle. To ensure that it fits, choose a model which can be folded and collapsed in a compact manner. Check how easy it is to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear sense of how simple or difficult it is to manoeuvre fold, store and store.

A high-quality pram should be able to fold flat when folded, ensuring that your baby has a completely supported sleep throughout the first six months, which is vital for their development. Be sure that the pram you're considering can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat, in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels are what propel the pram, and offer your child a safe ride. There are three wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons depending on what you plan to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they can be punctured if inflated too much with an auto tyre pump. However, this is usually caused by someone over inflating them, and isn't an everyday problem. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and may feel hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on prams and strollers than on strollers and are the most affordable option.

EVA or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a polymer material that has some characteristics of rubber, and is also lighter. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that will protect your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with a brake pedal located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or pushing down with your foot. The brakes must be easy to use and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that can be attached to the frame of the pushchair. It is ideal for newborns and babies from 6 months to 6 years of age, as they must lie flat to develop their spine and lungs. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents who are short in space, have a small car boot or who use public transport often.

Some prams come with an integrated carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pushchair, so you can quickly switch between seat and carriage mode. This is a great choice for families with a tiny car boot or who need to use public transport a lot as it can save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly evaluated by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's a great choice for new parents who are on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet looks and feels luxurious. It's also sturdy and light when folded.

Mountain Buggy twin pushchairs Plus, a luxury pushchair for double pram pushchair or single use that can be used from birth with a carrycot. It is the perfect choice. It features a lay-flat carrycot fabric slings, fabric seats and an infant cooon to offer the ultimate sleeping solution for twins.

It's also a smooth, nippy and light-steering rider, which is ideal for urban areas. It's easy to navigate busy roads and pavements while on the move. It's also very easy to use and comes with a wide range of accessories, including rain covers, a footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is perfect to shield your child from the elements and providing a cosy spot for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models have the option of a peekaboo window or the mesh back to monitor your little snoozer without disturbing them.

In winter, a hood is a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from the elements and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that is easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured using poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached with magnets to the pram and folds away when not in use.

If you decide to go with a pushchair or pram, picking the best model is a major decision and one that you will be using regularly for years to come. As your baby grows, you will want to ensure they are comfortable and safe on every journey. A high-quality pram/pushchair can help your baby's spine and ensure they are at ease during long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more orientated towards babies and infants in that they usually come with a bassinet, or carrycot that allows you to lie them flat, whereas pushchairs are generally more versatile and can convert to seats as your baby grows older.

Stores

There are a number of options for pram storage depending on your budget and the space you have available. If you have space sheds are a great option to protect your pram from damage caused by the weather and keep it out the way when not in use. It's also a good option for those who reside in an area that experiences frequent snow or rain.

A shed is typically made of wood or metal, and it has a door that allows easy access. It may also have locks and other security features. A garage is another popular option as it provides protection from the elements and be close to your car, if you're using it for transport.

If you do not have a garage or shed, you can put your pram in a closet within your home. It will be in a safe place and you won't notice it when you walk into the house or nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if you have guests visiting.

To keep your pushchair in good condition, you'll need to clean it regularly. It will look amazing and free of stains and mildew. To clean a hood, start by vacuuming it with a small attachment or rinsing it in cool soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains using a cloth brush or a gentle sterilising solution. Make sure to dry the fabric outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner that will help remove the most stubborn stains and leave your pushchair looking like new.
