What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish and fashionable pram newborn that's both stylish and practical. It is simple to put together and can be transformed into double. It also has a large storage basket.

This innovative travel strollers system makes it simple to "future proof" by adding a compatible carrycot and car seat. It can be folded neatly and easily with just one hand, and it is able to stand when folded.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most used items of Baby Mobility equipment that you purchase so it's important that it is comfortable for your little one. Choose a model with a comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height, and recline feature that allows you to lay your child down. It is also important to ensure that the pushchair can be placed in either 'parent facing pram-facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" when 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 up to you by pressing an button, which allows parents to keep eye contact with their baby and keep them close. This is a great option for newborns and babies and was highly praised by our tester for parents Jaya as a wonderful way to make your child feel loved and loved.

It is important to think about the overall size of the pram before you choose one, as you don't want to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living space. Choose a model that can fold easily and compact when folded to ensure it fits. Find out how easy it is to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real impression of how easy or difficult it is to maneuver fold and store.

A high-quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your baby to lay comfortably throughout the first six months of their lives. This is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you're interested in can do this and that it can be used with a car seat, in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and provide your child the ride they need. There are 3 common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on the way you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only downside is that they may be punctured if they are inflated too quickly with an auto tyre pump. However this usually happens due to someone over-inflating them and isn't a regular problem. This type of wheel is commonly used on all-terrain buggies 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 can sometimes feel more harsh 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 material that shares some of the properties of rubber and is also 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 an important feature and will protect your baby, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have a brake pedal located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a button or lever on the handlebars or by pushing down with your foot. The brakes must be simple to use and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also feature an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the frame of the pushchair. It is ideal for newborns and babies up to six months of age, as they have to lie flat to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great choice for parents with a limited space, a small boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams are equipped with a carrying cot that folds into the frame. This lets you quickly change between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great choice for families with a small car boot or those who have to travel by public transport often since it will save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's an excellent choice for new parents on a tight budget, since it is affordable, yet has a luxurious look and feel. It's also strong, lightweight, and compact travel stroller when folded.

If you're looking for a luxury single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth and used with a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the ideal choice. This gorgeous pram comes with a lay-flat carrycot, a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to create the ultimate sleeping solution that is secure and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a soft, nippy and light-steering driver, which is ideal for urban environments. It is easy to traverse busy roads and pavements on the move. It's also extremely easy to use and comes with a range of accessories, such as a footmuff, rain cover and the hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to rest. It's also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models come with a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can unzip to monitor the tiny snoozer.

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

Your pushchair or pram for many years to come, so selecting the right one is an important choice. As your child grows, you will want to make sure they're comfortable and safe on every journey. A high-quality pram/pushchair can support your baby's spine push chairs and prams keep them relaxed during long walks or bumpy rides.

Pushchairs can be transformed into a seat when your baby grows older. They are more versatile than prams. If you're unable to decide which pram or pushchair is best for your needs, our knowledgeable team is here to assist contact us or drop by our store.

Stores

There are a variety of options for storage options for prams dependent on your budget as well as the space available. A shed is a great option if you have space, since it will protect the pram from weather damage and keep it out of the way when it's not being used. This is an excellent option if your area experiences often snow or rain.

A shed is usually constructed out of metal or wood and it has a door that allows easy access. It could also come with locks and other security features. Another option is a garage that will shield you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle if this is the option you choose.

If you don't have garage space, you can store 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 house or nursery. It might be difficult to reach if you are hosting guests.

You'll have to clean your pushchair if want to maintain it. This will ensure that it looks great and is free from stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood with an attachment small in size, or rinsing in cool, soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains using a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. Remember to dry the fabric outside to prevent mildew and mould from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner to remove staining that is difficult to remove, making your pushchair look like new.
