It is likely that your baby will be using the pram a lot and it's important that it is comfortable. Find models with comfortable seat padding, adjustable handlebar height, and recline feature to let you put your child to sleep. It's also worth checking that the pushchair is set in either 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" if your child is older and would like to look around and see what's going on around them.

When selecting a pram, it's important to consider the overall dimensions. You do not want to be concerned about it taking up too much room in your car or home. To ensure that it fits, choose a model which can fold and fold in a compact manner. You can determine the ease or difficulty it is by reading reviews (like the ones on MadeForMums).

A high-quality pram set should be able to fold flat when folded, ensuring that your baby gets a completely supported sleep during the first six months, which is essential for their development. Make sure that the pram bags you are thinking about buying is able to do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram and provide your child a comfortable ride. There are three wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more durable 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 popular and provide great grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a car tyre compressor to over inflate them. This is not a common problem and is usually caused by someone over-inflating the wheel. This wheel type is often used on all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing ability and can feel more abrasive on rough concrete surfaces. They are often seen on prams rather than strollers and are typically the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic material that is light and has some of the characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used in lieu of PU or rubber to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your stroller is a crucial feature that will safeguard your child, you and other pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or pushing down with your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs feature brakes on the middle wheel to provide extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a simple-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the frame of any pushchair. It's ideal for newborns and babies up to six months of age, since they need to lay flat in order to develop their spine and lung capacity. A pram with carrycot is the perfect choice for parents who have little space, a small boot, or who travel by public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This lets you easily change between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or who need to take public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a great option for parents who are on a budget as it's affordable yet is stylish and luxurious and is strong, light and compact when folded.

Canopy

Some models have a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can unzip to keep an eye on the snoozer's tiny eyes.

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 which can easily be popped over the pram's canopy, and secured by poppers. If you prefer, you can buy an umbrella that attaches to the pram using magnets and is easy to take down when not in use.
