What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish stroller that is both swish and practical. It's easy to assemble, can convert into a double, and comes with a big storage basket.

This amazing travel pushchair system allows you to "future proof" by adding an appropriate car seat and carrycot. It can be folded quickly and easily with one hand, and can be reassembled when folded.

Seat

It's likely that your baby will be using the pram often and therefore it's crucial that it is comfortable. Find models with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a reclining function to allow you to lay your child to sleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' option for children who want to be able to see more of what's going on around them.

A nifty feature on the Near2Me from Graco is its capability to bring your child up to you at the touch of the button, allowing parents to keep eye contact with their child and keep them close. Jaya the tester for our parents, praised this as an excellent choice for infants and newborns.

It is crucial to consider the overall dimensions of a pram when choosing one, since you don't want to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living area. Select a model that can fold easily and compact when folded to ensure it can fit. Check how easy it is to do this and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear sense of how simple or difficult it is to maneuver fold and store.

A quality pram must be able to fold flat when folded, making sure that your baby has a fully supported lie down throughout the first six months, which is vital for their development. Make sure that the pram you are looking at is able to do this, and that it can be used with a car seat if necessary.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram, and offer your child a safe ride. There are three common wheel types - rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons, based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a compressor for car tyres to blow them up too hard. This is not a frequent problem and is usually caused by someone over-inflating the wheel. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capability and can sometimes feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more commonly found on strollers than in cheap prams and are the least expensive option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used instead of PU or rubber to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

Having strong reliable brakes on your pram is an important feature and will protect you, your baby and other pedestrians. The majority of 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 by pressing down with your feet. The brakes should be simple to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel for extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the chassis of a pushchair. It's a great option for infants from six months old since they must lie flat in order to support their spinal and lung development. A triple pram with carrycot is the perfect choice for parents with a limited space, a small boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams come with a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This lets you easily change between the carriage and seat modes. This is a great option for families who have a small car boot or who use public transport frequently. It can save you time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly evaluated by MFM home testers, and was awarded Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a good choice for new parents on a budget as it's affordable yet is stylish and luxurious and is strong, light and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy Twin Plus, an elegant pushchair suitable for double or single use that can be used from birth with an infant carrycot is the ideal choice. It features a lay-flat carrycot fabric slings, fabric seats and a baby cooon for the ideal sleeping solution for your twins.

It's also a soft light-steering, quick and nippy driver, which is ideal for urban environments. You can easily traverse busy roads and pavements while on the move. It's also very easy to use and comes with a variety of accessories, including a footmuff, rain cover and the hood.

Canopy

A canopy for your pram will protect your child from the elements while providing an ideal place to rest. It also helps prevent sunburns and heat stroke by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models offer an open window, or you can unzip a back mesh section to observe your little snoozer and not disturb them.

In winter, a hood is an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from the elements and rain. Some models come with a rain cover which can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella that is attached to the pram with magnets and is simple to remove when not in use.

Whether you opt for a pushchair or pram, picking the right model is a huge decision and one that you will be using regularly for years to come. As your baby grows and develops, you'll want to ensure they are safe and comfortable on every trip. A high-quality pram or pushchair will be able to help your baby's spine stay in a comfortable position and stop them from becoming exhausted when they take long rides or long walks.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more targeted towards infants and newborns and babies, since they typically come with a bassinet or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, while pushchairs are more versatile and can be converted into seats as your baby grows older.

Storage

There are many options for storage for prams, depending on your budget as well as the space available. If you have the space sheds are an excellent option to shield your pram from damage caused by the elements and keep it out of the way when it is not in use. This is a great choice if your area experiences frequent rain or snow.

A shed is usually built out of metal or wood and is equipped with an entrance door that allows for easy access. It may also have locks or other security features. Garages are another popular option as it provides protection from the elements while being close to your car if you're using it for transport.

If you do not have garage space, you could store the pram in your home's closet. It will be in a safe place and won't be visible when you walk into the house or nursery. It might be difficult to reach if you are hosting guests.

To keep your pushchair clean you'll need to clean it frequently. This will ensure it looks fantastic and is free from 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 apply a gentle sterilising agent or a fabric brush to remove any stains. Remember to dry the fabric on the outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy cleaning products that will remove stubborn stains and make your pushchair look like new again.
