What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish pram that is both swish and practical. It's easy to put together, can convert into a double and has a big storage basket.

A great travel system that allows you to 'future-proof' by adding the appropriate car seat and carrycot. It folds quickly and easily with one hand, and stands up when collapsed.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment that you purchase therefore it's essential to ensure it's comfortable for your young one. Look for models with comfy seat padding, adjustable handlebar height, and recline feature that allows you to get your child asleep. It's also worth checking that the pushchair can be set in either 'parent facing pram facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', if your child is getting older and wants to see what is happening around them.

One of the cool features on the Near2Me by Graco is the ability to raise your child towards you at the touch of a button, allowing parents to keep eye contact with their baby and keep them close. Jaya the tester for our parents, praised this as an excellent option for newborns and infants.

When you're choosing a stroller you should think about the overall dimensions. You don't want to be concerned about it taking up too much room in your car or home. Pick a model that is able to be folded up easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it fits. You can find out whether it is easy or difficult is by reading reviews (like those on MadeForMums).

A high-quality pram should be able to fold flat when folded, making sure that your baby is able to have a comfortable and safe sleep throughout the first six months, which is crucial for their development. Make sure the pram you're considering is able to do this and that it can be used with a car seat if needed.

Wheels

The wheels move the pram and give your child a smooth ride. There are three wheel types: foam, rubber and EVA (a harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you intend to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they may be punctured if inflated too quickly using an auto tyre pump. However, this is usually due to someone over-inflating them, and isn't an everyday issue. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are filled with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock absorption capabilities and can feel more abrasive on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are seen more on prams rather than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl acetate, is a plastic material that has some properties of rubber and is also lighter. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram due to its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your pram is a crucial feature that will safeguard your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It 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 operate and should lock immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs have a brake on the middle wheel for additional stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a simple-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old since they need to lie flat in order to support their lung and spine development. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents with little space, a small boot or who use public transport often.

Some prams come with an integrated carrycot that folds up into the frame of the pram so that you can easily swap between carriage and seat mode. This is a great option for families with an insufficient car boot or frequent public transport. It can save you time and energy. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly reviewed by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great option for new parents with a tight budget since it's not expensive, but looks and feels high-end, as well as being robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

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

It's also a smooth easy-rider, with a light steering which is perfect for urban environments which means you can effortlessly navigate through traffic-heavy roads and pavements traveling. Plus, it's incredibly easy to install and comes with lots of accessories such as rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is ideal for protecting your little one from the elements and also providing a cosy spot for them to relax. It's also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models have a mesh back or peekaboo section that can be unzipped to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

A hood is especially useful in winter too, allowing you to shield your baby's sensitive skin from cold winds and rain. Some models come with rain covers that can be easily popped over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers. If you prefer, you can buy a separate umbrella which attaches to the pram via magnets and is easy to remove when not in use.

Whether you opt for a pushchair or pram, picking the most suitable model is a crucial choice and one that you will be using frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows, you will want to ensure they are comfortable and safe throughout every trip. A high-quality pram or pushchair is one that can help your baby's spine stay in a comfortable position and stop them from becoming tired during long rides or walks.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more targeted towards newborns and babies, as they often include a bassinet or carrycot that allows you to lay them flat, whereas pushchairs tend to be more flexible and can convert into a seat as your baby gets older.

Stores

There are many options for storage for prams based on your budget and the space available. A shed is a great choice if you have the space, since it will shield the pram from weather damage and keep it out of the way when not in use. This is a great choice in areas that experience often snow or rain.

A shed is usually built from wood or metal and has a door for easy access. It may also come with a lock or other security features. Another option that is popular is a garage that will protect you from the elements and also be near your vehicle if that's what you want to use it for.

If you do not have a garage, you can put the pram away in your home's closet. It will be kept out of the way and will not require you to look at it when you enter your house or the nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if have guests coming over.

You'll have to clean your pushchair if wish to keep it in good condition. This will keep it looking amazing and free of mildew and stains. To clean a hood, begin by vacuuming it with the small attachment or washing it with cool soapy water. Then, you can use a gentle cleaning agent or fabric brush to get rid of any stains. Be sure to dry the fabric on the outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy an item that can help remove the most stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new.
