What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

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

This amazing travel system makes it easy to "future secure" by adding a compatible carrycot and car seat. It folds quickly and easily with one hand, and it can be reassembled when folded.

Seat

A pram is likely to be one of the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you purchase therefore it's essential to ensure it's comfortable for your young one. Look for models with comfy cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height and a recline function to let you lay your child down. 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 older and wants to see what is happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me features a neat feature that lets parents keep their baby close and maintain eye contact. This is a wonderful option for newborns and babies and was loved by our parent tester Jaya as a great way to make your child feel loved and loved.

When you're choosing a stroller it is important to consider the overall dimensions. You do not want to worry about it taking up too much room in your home or car. To ensure that it is suitable, choose a model which can be folded and collapsed into a compact size. Consider how easy to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real impression of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre fold, store and store.

A good quality pram must be able to fold flat when folded, ensuring that your baby gets a completely supported sleep during the first six months, which is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you're looking at can do this and that it is compatible with a car seat, should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram and provide your child a safe ride. There are 3 common wheel types: rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you plan to use your toddler stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer great grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a car tyre compressor to over inflate them. This is not a common issue and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and can feel more abrasive on rough concrete surfaces. They are more common on prams and strollers than on strollers, and are the cheapest option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic material that is lighter and has some of the properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram due to its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that will protect your baby, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals that are 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 simple to operate and should lock as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also have an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that connects to the frame of the pushchair. It's a great choice for babies up to six months old, as they need to lie flat, which is essential for their lung and spinal development. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents who are tight in space and have a tiny car boot, or who take public transport frequently.

Some prams have an inbuilt carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pushchair so it is easy to switch between carriage and seat mode. This is a great option for families who have an insufficient car boot or frequent public transport. It can save you time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, as well as winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a good choice for parents who are who are on a tight budget, as it's not expensive, but has a premium look and feel and is sturdy, lightweight and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy Twin Plus, the ultimate pushchair for double or single use that can be used right from birth. a carrycot. It is the perfect choice. This stunning pram includes lay-flat carrycots a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to provide the most comfortable sleeping environment that is secure and comfortable for twins.

It's also a soft light-steering, quick and nippy driver, which is ideal for urban environments. You can easily navigate through busy streets and pavements while on the move. It's also extremely easy to use and comes with a range of accessories, including rain covers, a footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is perfect for protecting your little one from the elements while providing a cozy place for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking out the harsh rays of the sun. Some models feature a peekaboo or mesh back section that can be unzipped to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

A hood can be useful in winter too as it protects your baby's sensitive skin from cold winds and rain. Some models include rain covers that can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. Alternatively, you can purchase an umbrella that is attached to the pram with magnets and is simple to remove when not in use.

You will use your pram or pushchair for many years to come, so selecting the best one is a critical decision. As your baby grows, you'll need to ensure that they are comfortable and safe during every journey. A quality pram or pushchair will ensure your baby's spine is supported and keep them relaxed on long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more geared towards newborns and babies, as they often come with a bassinet, or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are generally more versatile and can convert to a seat as your baby gets older.

Stores

There are numerous options for storage options for prams dependent on your budget and the space available. If you have space an outdoor shed is the ideal option to shield your pram from damage resulting from the weather and keep it out of the way when it is not in use. This is an excellent option in areas that experience frequent snow or rain.

A shed is typically made out of metal or wood and it has a door that allows easy access. It may also have the security of a lock as well as other features. Another option is a garage that will shield you from the elements and be close to your vehicle if that's the option you choose.

If you don't have a garage, or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet in your home. This will keep it out of the way and you won't have to look at it when you go into your home or the nursery. However, it might be difficult to access if you have guests in your home.

To maintain your pushchair, you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure that it looks good and free of mildew and stains. Start by vacuuming the hood using an attachment small in size or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Then, use a gentle cleaning agent or fabric brush to clean any stains. It is essential to dry the fabric thoroughly outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove, making your pushchair look like new.
