What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

There are many factors to consider when choosing the best pushchair, buggy or pram. Think about the amount you're willing to spend, whether you want a compact buggy or something more spacious, and how easy it will be to clean.

Look for models that have a reclining seat that can be adjusted to several positions, and a carrycot or bassinet for newborns. Be sure that they are flat, as this is crucial for the development of the spine of your baby.

Safety

If you're out and about with your baby in a stroller or pram it is essential to follow safety guidelines to ensure your little one is comfortable and safe. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's carriage weight limits to avoid overloading, as this can create instability or damage. Avoid placing pillows or blankets in the pram as this could be hazardous for your child, especially in the event of an accident. Don't allow older siblings to climb onto the pram or stroller as this can be a hazard.

Look for a pushchair with extra padding particularly in the headrest area to protect your child against getting hit by objects while out and out and about. It's also recommended to select a pushchair with cushioned headrests as it will help protect your child from hitting things when out and about.

Some prams and pushchairs have a bassinet that allows newborns to lie flat in a cocoon of peace. Others will have an infant carrycot that can be removed once your baby is old enough to sit. Some prams also come with an infant seat that can be switched between the two modes as your baby develops.

Many pushchairs or prams can be folded down to a compact size when they are not in use. This makes them much easier to keep in the car boot or to transport them on public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded. This could be a big difference when you need to squeeze them into small spaces or climb up and down steps.

If you're planning to take your pram or pushchair into rougher terrain such as parks, fields or even on beaches then it is a good idea to find an off-road model because they are more suitable for these kinds of environments. Make sure that the wheels are filled with air as this will make them easier to move over rougher ground and will not easily puncture.

A sunshade or parasol that is attached directly to the frame of your pushchair can provide shade and protect your baby from overheating during sunny days. You can buy these in a separate purchase or as part the pushchair accessories set with a variety of styles and colors to choose from.

Comfort

A great pram should be easy to push for you and your baby. A soft padded seat liner, adjustable settings that let your baby to lie flat or sway slightly (good for those with reflux) and a large sun canopy are all beneficial. Choose a suspension system that will allow for a smoother ride, as well as brakes that are quick to stop quickly in the event of an emergency.

It is essential that your pushchair be able to accommodate this position for the initial few weeks. A majority of frames come with a carrycot for newborns that then converts to a reclining seat once your little one is old enough, meaning you can put an infant pram and a pushchair in the same frame.

When you're choosing a pram, you'll need to think about your requirements, including how it's maneuverable and the amount of storage space you require. It's worth visiting a shop that allows you to test-drive various prams or pushchairs to test how they feel and fold. It's also an excellent idea to look over any accessories you might want including a footmuff, seat liner and fans that help your baby stay cool in summer or warm in winter.

You should also consider the overall design of your stroller - is it a good fit for your lifestyle and personality. You'll use it for several years so make sure you pick the right color or print that won't fade too quickly or leave you regretting your decision.

Practicality

The terms pram and car seat, pushchair buggy, pram and travel system are often used interchangeably but it's important to select one that meets your needs and your lifestyle. Find models that fold down to smaller sizes to make it easier when you're taking it on public transport, in your car's boot or storage space at home. If you choose a pram or travel system with a separate infant seat, make sure it can be quickly snapped onto the chassis without waking your baby.

Many prams come with an ample storage basket beneath which will help to keep your bags, shopping and nappies within reach. They also typically have swivel wheels which allow them to maneuver and steer in narrow shop aisles, or turn around in crowded areas like beaches and parks. If you plan to use it in the country, you may want to choose an all-terrain model with big tires that can withstand rough terrain and muddy trails.

A stroller or pushchair is lighter than a pram and offers the convenience of a seat that can be adjusted to multiple positions which is perfect for newborns or babies who can sit up. A large canopy protects your child from the sun. Some models are also suitable for rain.

Think about how the model weighs and if you can comfortably lift it out and in of your car's boot or up the steps to your home (with or without your baby inside!) It is important to consider this especially since they will become heavier with time. It may be worth paying a little extra for a machine washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or nappy leaks quick and simple. It's an excellent idea to test any pushchair or pram you're thinking of buying to be able to observe how they feel and behave and also how easy they are to fold and transport. You might also want to determine if the handlebars are comfortable for you to hold.

Cleaning

Regularly cleaning your pushchair will lower the risk of mildew or mould. This should include wiping down any fabric parts when they become dirty and giving them a full wash every couple of weeks or as often. Using a deodoriser or fabric freshener on a regular basis will also help to reduce odours and prevent the build-up of grime, which can cause the growth of mould spores as well as an unhygienic environment for your child.

Before you begin cleaning your pushchair it is a good idea to clear away any toys and remove any padding or covers that you can remove. This will make it easier to access and clean those difficult to reach places like the hood, canopy or seat supports. Make sure you choose an area with good ventilation to work in and lay down sheets or tarps to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as you can. Utilize a vacuum cleaner with an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food or debris that might have gotten stuck in the crevices and nooks.

If you own a pushchair that has removable fabric parts, then begin by checking the care instructions of the manufacturer and washing them according to the instructions (either in the washing machine or by hand). Otherwise, it is generally safe to apply a solution of warm water and mild soap (or mild detergent) on the majority of fabrics used in prams. It is recommended to test the fabric's colourfastness using only a small area prior to using any cleaning product. Some chemicals can damage or bleach delicate fabrics.

Stubborn marks and stains are often cured by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a potent stain remover that can eliminate all kinds of odours for example, ones caused by urine or milk. It will also help to lift any soap residues or detergent. After you're done, wash the fabric thoroughly to get rid of any soap residue and hang it to dry. Try to hang it outside because sunlight acts as natural softener for fabric and a gentle disinfectant.
