What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish and elegant pram that is fashionable and practical. It's easy to assemble and converts into a double and has an enormous storage basket.

A fantastic travel system that allows you to "future-proof" by adding the appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds easily by hand and can be freestanding when collapsed.

Seat

It is likely that your baby will use the pram often and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding, and a recline function to allow you to put your child to bed. Check that the pushchair sale has a 'parent-facing' (or rear facing)' or 'world-facing' setting if your child wants to observe more of what's happening around them.

A great feature of the Near2Me from Graco is its ability to raise your child up to you by pressing a button, allowing parents to keep eye contact with their baby and keep them close. This is a wonderful option for babies and infants and was praised by our parent tester Jaya as a wonderful method to make your child feel special and loved.

It is crucial to consider the overall size of a pram before you choose one, as you don't want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or your living space. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it will fit. Find out how easy it is to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear idea of how easy or difficult it is to maneuver, fold and store.

A good quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably throughout the first six months of their lives. This is crucial for their development. Make sure the pram you are looking at can do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what allow it to move and provide your child the experience they require. There are three 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 babiie stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they may be punctured if inflated too quickly by a car tyre pump. This is not a frequent problem, and is usually caused by who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is commonly used on buggies that run all-terrain.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, which makes them lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more prevalent on prams and strollers than on strollers, 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 to replace PU or rubber in your pram for its low maintenance and weight reduction.

It is crucial to have reliable brakes in your pushchair. This will safeguard you, your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature brake pedals that are located on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs feature brakes on the middle wheel to provide added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the frame of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old, as they must lie flat and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their spinal and lung development. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great option for parents with little space, a small boot or use public transport often.

Some prams have a built-in 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 small car boot or who use public transport frequently. It will save you time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a great choice for new parents on a budget as it's affordable yet is stylish and luxurious as well as being robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy twin pushchair Plus, a luxury pushchair for double or single use that can be used from birth with an infant carrycot is the ideal choice. This gorgeous pram comes with a lay flat carrycot plus 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 smooth easy-rider, with a light steering that is ideal for urban environments and allows you to easily negotiate busy roads and pavements while on the go. Plus, it's incredibly easy to install and comes with a variety of accessories such as rain cover, footmuff, and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements and provide a cozy place to sleep. It also helps prevent sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harmful rays of the sun. Some models feature an open or mesh back section that you can unzip to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood is a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models include a rain cover that can be easily put over the pram's canopy, and secured by poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella separately that can be attached via magnets to the pram and folds away when not in use.

Whichever model you choose, pushchair or pram, picking the best model is a major decision and one which you will be using frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to make sure they are secure and comfortable on every journey. A quality pushchair or pram will be able to support their gentle spine and stop them from becoming exhausted during long rides or long walks.

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

Stores

There are a variety of options for storage options for prams according to your budget as well as the space available. If you have the space sheds are a great option to protect your pram from damage caused by the weather and keep it out of the way when it is not in use. This is a great option for areas that are prone to frequent rain or snow.

A shed is constructed from wood or metal and comes with a door that allows easy access. It may also have a lock and other security features. A garage is another popular option, since it will provide protection from the elements and be close to your car if you're using that for transport.

If you don't have a garage or shed, you can store your pram in a closet inside your home. It will be kept away from view, so you don't have to glance at it every time you go into your home or nursery. It might be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.

To keep your pushchair clean, you'll need to keep it clean. This will keep it looking great and free of mildew and stains. To clean a hood, begin by vacuuming it using a small attachment or rinsing it with cool soapy water. Next you can clean any stains using a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Be sure to dry the fabric on the outside to prevent mildew and mould from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner to get rid of staining that is difficult to remove, making your pushchair look like new.
