What to Look For in a Pram pushchair; telegra.Ph,

A stylish and fashionable pram that's both stylish and practical. It is simple to put together and is able to be converted into a double. It also has an enormous storage basket.

This innovative travel system makes it easy to "future proof" by adding an adaptable car seat and carrycot. Plus it folds neatly with one hand and can be freestanding when collapsed.

Seat

It's likely that your baby will be using the pram often, so it is important that it is comfortable. Choose a model with a comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height and a recline function to allow you to get your child asleep. Check that the pushchair has a 'parent facing (or rear facing) or 'world-facing' option in case your child wishes to observe more of what's happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me features an interesting feature that lets parents keep their child close and keep eye contact. This is a fantastic option for babies and newborns and was highly praised by our tester for parents Jaya as a wonderful method to make your child feel special and loved.

It is crucial to consider the overall size of the pram when selecting, as you don't want to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living area. To ensure that it is suitable the space, select a model that can be folded and collapsed into a compact size. Check how easy it is to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true idea of how easy or difficult it is to move fold, store and store.

A high-quality pram should be able fold flat when folded, making sure that your baby has a comfortable and safe sleep for their first six months, which is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you're looking at can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat, should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels are what propel the pram and provide your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has pros and cons depending on how you plan to use your stroller travel.

Rubber wheels are the most popular and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to blow them up too hard. However this usually happens due to someone over inflating them, and isn't an everyday issue. 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 feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are often seen on prams than strollers and are usually the cheapest cost option.

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

A strong and reliable brake system on your pram is an important feature and will protect your baby, you and pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have a brake pedal located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your feet. The brakes should be simple to use and should lock immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of any pushchair travel system. It's a great option for infants from six months old, as they need to lie flat, which is essential for their lung and spinal development. A pram with a carrycot is the perfect choice for parents who have only a tiny boot or use public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrycot that folds up into the frame of the pram so that you can easily swap between carriage and seat mode. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or who need to use public transport a lot as it can save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly rated by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great choice for parents who are who are on a tight budget, as it's not expensive, but has a premium look and feel, as well as being robust, lightweight and compact pushchair when folded.

If you're in search of a high-end single to double pushchair that is suitable for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot or a baby cocoon, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the ideal option. This gorgeous pram comes with lay-flat carrycots a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to create the ideal sleeping solution that is safe and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a smooth, light-steering and smooth rider which is perfect for urban environments, so you can easily navigate the busy roads and pavements on the move. It's also incredibly easy and comes with a wide range of accessories, such as a footmuff, rain cover and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is great to shield your child from the elements and providing a cosy spot for them to snooze. It also helps prevent heat stroke and sunburns by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models have an open window, or you can unzip a back mesh section so you can observe your little snoozer and not disturb them.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from the elements and rain. Some models come with rain covers that can be easily put over the pram's canopy, and secured by poppers. Alternatively, you can purchase an umbrella that attaches to the pram via magnets and is easy to take down when not in use.

The pram or pushchair for a number of years to come, so choosing the right one is an important choice. As your child grows, you will want to ensure they're comfortable and safe during every journey. A high-quality pram or pushchair should be able to support their gentle spine and prevent them from becoming exhausted on long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more orientated towards babies and infants, as they often come with a bassinet, or carrycot to enable you to lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert into seats as your baby grows older.

Stores

There are a variety of options for storage for prams, according to your budget and the space available. A shed is an excellent choice if you have the space, as it will shield the pram from damage caused by weather and keep it out of the way when not in use. It is also a good option for those who live in an area with frequent snowfall or rainfall.

A shed is made of metal or wood, and it comes with a door that allows easy access. It could also be equipped with a lock or other security features. Another popular option is a garage, which will shield you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle if this is what you want to use it for.

If you don't have garage space, you could keep the pram in the closet of your home. This will keep it away from view and will not require you to see it when you go into your home or the nursery. It could be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.

To maintain your pushchair, you'll need to keep it clean. This will keep it looking amazing and free of stains and mildew. To clean a hood, begin by vacuuming it using an attachment that is small or by washing it with cool soapy water. Then, you can use a gentle sterilizing agent or a fabric brush to get rid of any stain. Remember to dry the fabric outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner to get rid of stubborn stains and make your pushchair appear like new.
