What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

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

This amazing travel system allows you to "future secure" by adding an adaptable car seat and carrycot. Plus, it folds up easily using just one hand and is able to stand on its own when collapsed.

Seat

It's likely that your baby will use the pram often, so it is important to ensure it's comfortable. Find models with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a reclining function so you can put your child to bed. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be set in either 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" if your child is getting older and wants to look around and see what's happening around them.

A nifty feature on the Graco Near2Me is its capability to bring your child to you at the touch of a button, allowing parents to keep contact with their child and keep them close. This is a great option for babies and infants and was praised by our parent tester Jaya as a great way to make your child feel special and loved.

When you're choosing a stroller it is important to think about the overall size. You don't want to have to worry about it taking up too much space in your home or vehicle. To ensure it's suitable the space, select a model that can fold and fold in a compact manner. Consider how easy to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear impression of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre, fold and store.

A quality pram must fold completely flat, allowing your child to lie down comfortably for the first six months of their lives. This is crucial for their development. Make sure that the pram you are considering is able to do this, and also that it is compatible with a car-seat should it be required.

Wheels

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

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to inflate them too hard. This is not a frequent problem and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is commonly used on all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam which makes them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and may feel hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more prevalent on strollers than in prams and are the most affordable option.

EVA also known as Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a material that has some properties of rubber and is lighter. It can be used instead of rubber or PU for low maintenance and to reduce the weight of your pram.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that will protect you, your baby and pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals located at the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should lock immediately after you press them. Some pushchairs also have an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the frame of a pushchair. It's a great choice for newborns up to around six months old as they need to lie flat in order to support their lung and spinal development. A carrycot-equipped pram is the perfect choice for parents with a only a tiny boot, or who travel by public transport frequently.

Some prams come with a built-in carrying cot that can fold into the frame. This allows you to easily switch between the carriage and seat modes. This is a great choice for families who have limited space in their car or use public transport often. It can save you time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored highly with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's a great option for parents on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also durable and light when folded.

If you're looking for a luxurious single-to-double pushchair that can be used for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot and a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the ideal option. The pram includes lay-flat carrycots fabric slings, fabric seats and an infant cooon to offer the ultimate sleeping solution for your twins.

It's also a soft light-steering, quick and nippy rider, which is ideal for urban environments. It's easy to traverse busy roads and pavements on the move. It's also extremely easy to set up and comes with plenty of accessories like rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is great to shield your child from the elements while providing an inviting place to sleep. It can also prevent sunburns and heatstroke by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models feature an open window, or you can unzip a back mesh section so you can observe your little snoozer and not disturb them.

A hood can be particularly useful in winter, allowing you to shield your baby's delicate skin from cold winds and rain. Some models include a rain cover which can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured by poppers. You can also buy an umbrella separately that can be attached via magnets to the pram bag and folds away when not in usage.

If you decide to go with a pram or pushchair, choosing 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 trip. A good pram/pushchair will ensure your baby's spine is supported and keep them relaxed on long walks or bumpy rides.

Pushchairs can be transformed into a seat once your baby is older. They are more adaptable than prams. If you're having trouble deciding which pram or pushchair is the best for your needs, our knowledgeable team is here to assist - give us a call or drop by our store.

Storage

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

A shed is usually constructed of wood or metal, and it is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It could also come with a lock and other security features. A garage is another popular option as it can provide protection from the elements while being close to your car if you're using it for transport.

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 sight and you won't have to look at it when you enter 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 frequently. This will ensure that it is clean and free from stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood using an attachment that is small or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Next, you can work on any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Make sure to dry the fabric on the outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy an item that can help remove stubborn stains and make your pushchair look like new again.
