What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

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

A fantastic travel system that makes it simple to 'future-proof' by adding the appropriate car seat and carrycot. Plus, it folds up easily by hand and is free-standing when collapsed.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment that you purchase so it's important that it's comfortable for your young one. Look for models that have adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a reclining function so you can lay your child to sleep. Make sure the pushchair comes with a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing) or 'world-facing' feature if your child wants to observe more of what's happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me features an interesting feature that allows parents to keep their baby close and maintain eye contact. This is a great option for babies and newborns and was highly praised by our tester for parents Jaya as being a lovely way to make your child feel loved and loved.

When choosing a pram it is important to consider the overall size. You don't want to have to worry about it taking up too much room in your car or home. Pick a model that is able to fold easily and compact when folded to ensure it will fit. You can check whether it is easy or difficult is by reading reviews (like the ones on MadeForMums).

A high-quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your child to lie down comfortably for the first six months of their life. This is essential for their development. Make sure that the pram you are considering can do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram and provide your child a smooth ride. There are 3 common wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons, based on what you intend to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are the most popular and offer great grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they could be punctured if inflated too hard with a car tyre pump. However, this is usually due to someone over-inflating the tires and isn't a common issue. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock absorption capabilities, and can feel harsher on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more commonly found on strollers than in prams, and are the cheapest option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic that is lightweight and has some properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used instead of rubber or PU for low maintenance and to reduce the weight of your pram.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is an important feature and will safeguard your baby, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals located at the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pushing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to use and should be locked immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs feature brakes on the middle wheel to provide additional 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 up to six months of age, as they must lay flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot-style pram is an excellent option for parents who are tight in space or have a small car boot or who use public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This lets you quickly change between the seat and carriage modes. This is an excellent option for families who have a small car boot or who use public transport frequently. It can save you time and energy. The iCandy YOYO2 is a good example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a good choice for new parents who are on a tight budget, as it's not expensive, but is stylish and luxurious, as well as being strong, light and compact when folded.

If you're looking for a luxurious single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth and can be used with a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the perfect choice. This stunning pram includes lay-flat carrycots a fabric sling seat and an infant cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is safe and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a light easy-rider, with a light steering which is perfect for urban environments and allows you to easily navigate through busy roads and pavements while on the move. Additionally, it's extremely simple to install and comes with lots of accessories, including a rain cover, footmuff, and hood.

Canopy

A canopy for your pram will protect your child from the elements while offering a comfortable place for them to rest. It also helps prevent heat stroke and sunburn by blocking out the harmful rays of the sun. Some models come with a peekaboo or mesh back section that can be unzipped to monitor the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Certain models come with rain covers that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram and secured with poppers. You can also buy an umbrella separately that can be attached with magnets to the pram and is easy-to-fold away when not in usage.

You will use your pram newborn or pushchair for a number of years to come, so choosing the best one is a critical choice. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to ensure they are safe and comfortable on every trip. A good pram/pushchair will ensure your baby's spine is supported and ensure they are comfortable on 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 lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert into a seat as your baby grows older.

Storage

There are many options for storage options for prams dependent on your budget and the space available. A shed is a good option if you have space, as it will protect the pram from damage caused by weather and keep it away from the path when it's not being used. This is a great option in areas that experience often snow or rain.

A shed is usually constructed out of metal or wood and has a door that allows easy access. It may also have a lock and other security features. Garages are a popular option, since it can provide protection from the elements and be close to your car, if you're using it for transport.

If you do not have a garage, you can keep the pram in the closet of your home. This will keep it away from view and you won't have to glance at it every time you enter your home or the nursery. It could be difficult to reach if you are hosting guests.

You'll need to regularly clean your pushchair if you want to maintain it. This will ensure that it looks great and free of stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood with an attachment small in size or washing it in cool soapy water. Then, you can use a gentle sterilising agent or a fabric brush to remove any stain. Remember to dry your fabric outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner that will help remove staining that is difficult to remove and leave your stroller looking like new.
