What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can be confusing. Prams are made to carry infants and toddlers with a lying-flat seat.

Prams can also come with a bassinet or a carrycot for infants. Some can be converted to an infant pushchair once the baby is older.

If you plan on using public transportation or have to fold up your pushchair regularly pick a light and compact stroller.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to get utilized more often than your bottles and nappies. It is important to choose a model that has plenty of padding and a comfortable seating position that can be adjusted in the height.

Many prams, buggies, and pushchairs have a blanket to keep your child warm. They are easy to clean and come in a variety of designs and colours.

A pram is designed for infants from 6 months to 6 years of age, and they are still at the point that they must lay flat. Most often, a carrycot or bassinet is attached to the frame. Most prams have the option of either facing your child's parents or the world facing', meaning you can choose to have your baby's face facing you to bond with them or let them explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a deluxe single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth using a carrycot up to 25kg (15kg with elevators).

The most important thing to remember is that infants and toddlers should not be in any pushchair that is not able to recline completely to a flat position. Traveling in a crouching position can impact their breathing as they inhale more than they would normally. This can lead to breathing problems in the long term.

Safety

The safety of your baby in a pram or pushchair is crucial. It is best to only place your child in a pushchair or pram that has been designed for their age and size. This will help them feel safe and secure and will help prevent accidents. If you're buying a baby pushchair or pram second-hand it's essential to conduct visual safety inspections.

Look for models that have a larger base as they will be more stable than those with a narrow base.

Avoid overloading your pram or pushchair with things. This can cause it to tip and your baby might be thrown out. Also, don't put things in the storage basket that could fall out and hurt your baby. This includes drinks, toys and snacks.

Follow the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your pram or stroller. When washing the fabric or cleaning the hood, make sure you dry it thoroughly outdoors to prevent mould or mildew developing.

If your pram or pushchair features a footmuff that is removable, it's best travel pram to wash it prior to using it again in winter. You can do this by removing the fabric and washing it in cool soapy water, then leaving it to air dry outside. You should also brush off any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts advise that babies sit flat in a stroller or pram as early as they can. This will help them develop and lower the chance of developing back problems as they grow older.

Retailers and manufacturers have a duty under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to provide products that are safe in normal or reasonably foreseeable use. This applies to both new and second-hand prams and strollers.

Style

While some parents are looking for the most functional set of wheels they can find, many want a pushchair or pram that is as stylish as their brand new bundle of joy. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs available that combine high-end engineering with stylish designs that are both appealing and practical.

Look for a pushchair that includes removable seat covers as well as a recline mechanism that can be machine-washed. Make sure the fabric is machine washable to keep your baby comfortable and dry.

It is also important to consider the direction your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from-birth' pushchairs allow you to switch the seat from parent facing (facing the parent to calm and bond) or world facing, to let your child explore the world. Some prams have this option also, but it's not necessary for all models and can be an optional feature.

Combination prams are also referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families since they can accommodate an infant bassinet on the same frame. They are often designed to be used starting at birth and are suitable for infants as young as six months old.

A travel system is an option to a combined pram as it allows you to put car seats on the frame, typically with adaptors. They are perfect for babies and toddlers from birth to three years old. They are less expensive than purchasing separate items.

Twin prams and pushchairs are a great choice for siblings or twins who want to travel in the comfort and safety of. They come in a variety of styles and fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

A pushchair or pram should not only be safe and comfortable for your child, but also provide ample storage space for all the necessities. Look for models that have a large shopping basket to hold all of your baby's supplies including spare clothes as well as changing equipment, water bottles and even snacks. Some models come with a compartment for the parent or child which is ideal to keep your personal belongings. If you're looking for a pushchair with even more storage consider a convertible pushchair that comes with various configurations. The extra space is important if you're planning to take your child for long walks or on trips away from home and need an area to store anything you'll require.

Maneuvrability is another important feature to consider. Pick swivels wheels that can navigate through narrow passageways with ease. Also, look for locking brakes with a responsive stopping power. If you're thinking of a light model, ensure it has the proper dimensions for suspension and folding to allow for easy storage and transport. If you're looking to buy something more robust for off-road use, choose a model that has tough all-terrain tires that can handle rougher surfaces.

A pram is a vehicle that provides an ideal sleeping position for infants. A pushchair is best suited for older babies and toddlers that can sit up independently. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs, by removing the bassinet, and replacing it with an adult seat. Other models, like the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to transform into a carrycot or car seat.

Whatever type of pram or pushchair you decide to purchase, make sure to read reviews online and seek suggestions from family and friends. Test-drive several options before making a final decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, how they fold and how they feel. You might also want to consider whether a convertible model is the right choice for you, since these can be used interchangeably between one or two children and save money on purchasing an entirely new set wheels each time your little one grows up!
