What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish and fashionable pram that's both stylish and practical. It's easy to assemble, can convert into a double and features a big storage basket.

A brilliant travel system that allows you to 'future-proof' by adding the appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds effortlessly and quickly with one hand, and stands up when collapsed.

Seat

It is likely that your baby will use the pram often, so it is important to ensure it's comfortable. Choose a model with a comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height, and recline feature to allow you to put your child to sleep. It's also worth checking that the pushchair is set in either 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', if your child is older and wants to see what is happening around them.

When you're choosing a stroller it is important to consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to have to worry about it taking up too much room in your car or home. To ensure that it fits it, pick a model that can fold and fold in a compact manner. You can find out whether it is easy or difficult is by reading reviews (like those found on MadeForMums).

A quality pram should be able lie completely flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby gets a completely supported sleep during the first six months, which is crucial for their development. Check that the pram you're interested in is able to 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 give your child a safe ride. There are three common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (a harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most common and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a car tyre compressor to blow them up too hard. However, this is usually due to someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common problem. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, so they are lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and may feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on prams than strollers strollers and are the most affordable option.

EVA or Ethylene vinyl acetate, is a plastic material that shares some of the characteristics of rubber and is lighter. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is a must and will safeguard you, your baby and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have 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 should be simple to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs also feature a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of a pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old since they require a flat position in order to support their spinal and lung development. A pram with a carrycot is a fantastic choice for parents who are tight on space, have a small car boot or who use public transport frequently.

Some prams have an inbuilt carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pram so that it is easy to switch between carriage and seat modes. This is a great option for families with an insufficient car boot or frequent public transport. It will save you time and energy. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers, and was awarded Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's an excellent choice for parents who are on a budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also durable and light when folded.

Canopy

A pram canopy is ideal to protect your baby from the elements and also providing a cozy place for them to snooze. It also helps prevent sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harmful rays of the sun. Some models come with an open or mesh back section that you can unzip to keep an eye on the snoozer's tiny eyes.

A hood can be particularly useful in winter, allowing you to shield your baby's sensitive skin from the cold wind and rain. Some models include a rain cover that can be easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured using poppers. If you prefer, you can buy a separate umbrella which attaches to the pram using magnets and is simple to remove when not in use.

As your baby grows, you will need to ensure that they are comfortable and safe throughout every trip. A high-quality pram/pushchair can ensure your baby's spine is supported and keep them at ease during long walks and bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more orientated towards infants and newborns in that they usually come with a bassinet or carrycot that lets you lie them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert into an infant seat as your child gets older.

Storage

There are many options for storage for prams, based on your budget and the space you have available. A shed is an excellent option if you have the space, as it will shield your pram from damage caused by weather and keep it out of the way when it's not in use. It's also a great option for those who reside in a region that has frequent rainfall or snow.

A shed is constructed from wood or metal and is equipped with an entrance door that allows for easy access. It could also come with locks and other security features. Another popular option is a garage, which will protect you from elements and also be near your vehicle if this is what you use.

If you don't have garage space, you can store the pram in your home's closet. It will be kept out of sight and will not require you to look at it when you go into your home or your nursery. It might be difficult to reach if you are hosting guests.

To maintain your pushchair it's best to clean it frequently. This will ensure it looks fantastic and is free from stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment or washing it in cool, soapy water. Then, apply a gentle sterilizing agent or a fabric brush to remove any stains. It's important to remember to dry the fabric thoroughly outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner that will help remove staining that is difficult to remove and make your pushchair look like new again.
