What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

If you're looking for a pushchair, pram or a buggy there are plenty of considerations to make. Consider how much you have to spend on a buggy, whether you want it to be compact or more spacious and how easy it is to clean.

Look for models that have an reclining seat that has various positions, as well as the option of a carrycot or bassinet to newborns. Check if they lie completely flat as this is essential for your baby's developing spine.

Safety

It's important to follow safety guidelines while out with your child in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is secure and at ease. Avoid overloaded strollers or pushchair to ensure that there is no damage or instability. Avoid placing any blankets or pillows in the pram because they could pose a risk for your baby, particularly in the event of an accident. Also, don't allow older children to use the stroller or pram because it could pose a risk.

It's also a good idea to look for a pushchair with additional padding, particularly around the headrest, as this can protect your child from hitting objects while out and about. It's also recommended to select the pushchair that has padding on the headrests, since they will shield your child from hitting things when out and about.

Some pushchairs and prams come with the bassinet attachment, which is perfect for infants to lay flat on the comfort of a cocoon and be comfortable. Some pushchairs and prams include a carrycot that can be removed once your baby is able to sit. Some prams also have an infant seat that can be switched between two modes as your baby develops.

Many pushchairs and prams can fold down into smaller sizes when they are not in use, making them easier to store and transport in your car's boot or public transport. It is worth assessing the size of the pushchairs when folded, as this can make a difference when you need to fit them into tight spaces or go up and down the stairs.

If you are planning to take your pram or stroller into more rough terrains, such as parks or fields, or even on the beach, it's recommended to select a model that has off-road wheels. These are better suited for these kinds of terrains. Check that the wheels have air in them since they will be able to move easily over rough terrain and will not puncture.

A sunshade or parasol that attaches directly to the frame of your pushchair will provide shade and guard your child against overheating on sunny days. You can purchase these items in a separate purchase or as part a pushchair accessories set, with several styles and colours to choose from.

Comfort

A quality pram should be comfortable to push for you and your baby. A soft cushioned seat liner, adjustable settings that let your newborn to lay flat or stand up slightly (good for those who suffer from reflux) and a large sun canopy are all beneficial. Look for a suspension system that will allow for a smoother ride, as well as brakes that are responsive so you can stop quickly in the event of an emergency.

Newborns require a flat, fully lying position to support their developing spine, so it's important to make sure your pushchair can do this for the first few months. Many frames come with an infant carrycot that can convert to a reclining seat once your child is old enough. This lets you use a stroller as well as a pram in the same frame.

It is also important to consider your needs when choosing a pram, for instance, whether it's easy to maneuver and what kind of storage space you need. It is recommended to visit a store where you can test-drive different pushchairs and prams to test how they feel and fold. It's also an excellent idea to look over any accessories you'd like including a footmuff, seat liner and fans that can help your baby stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

Finally, you'll need to think about the overall design of your stroller - does it fit your lifestyle and style? It will be used for several years, so try to choose a print or colour that doesn't get old or make you regret your choice.

Practicality

The terms pushchair, pram buggy, travel system and pram are frequently used but it's important to select one that is suitable for your requirements and is compatible with your lifestyle. Look for models that can fold down to smaller sizes because this can be helpful when you're taking it on public transport as well as in your car boot or storage space at home. If you opt for a travel system or pram with an infant seat, make sure it is able to be easily attached to the chassis without waking up your baby.

A lot of prams have a huge storage basket under the seat to allow you to keep your shopping, bags and nappies close in your hand. They also typically have swivel wheels which allow them to maneuver and steer in narrow shop aisles, or change direction in busy areas such as parks and beaches. If you intend to use it in the countryside then you may want to choose a model with large all-terrain tyres which can cope with muddy walks and rough terrain.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a pram and offers the convenience of a seat that can be adjusted to a variety of 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.

Consider how heavy the model is and whether you are able to move it in and out of your car boot or up the steps to your home (with or without your child inside!) They'll get heavier as time passes. You might want to think about investing in a machine-washable cover to make it easy to clean spilled or nappy-soaked liquids. It is also advisable to test any strollers or prams that you are considering purchasing to see how they feel and move, as well as to see how easy they fold and move around. It is also a good idea to check if the handlebars feel comfortable to you.

Cleaning

Cleaning your pushchair on a regular basis will reduce the risk of mildew or mould. It is essential to clean all fabric components as soon they become dirty and give them an extensive wash every two weeks. Regularly using a fabric freshener or deodoriser can help to keep odours at bay and help prevent the build-up of grime which can result in mould spores.

It's a great idea to take off any padding or covers prior to cleaning your pushchair. This will make it easier for you to clean the hard-to-reach places, such as the canopy or hood. The next step is to select an area with good ventilation to work in and then lay down sheets or tarps to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as possible. Use a vacuum with a flexible nozzle to remove any food or debris that may have been trapped in the crevices and nooks.

If your pushchair is equipped with fabric parts that can be removed, read the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and wash them in accordance with the directions (either by hand or by washing in a machine). If you want to wash the majority of your fabrics in prams you can do so with a solution consisting of warm water, gentle soap or mild detergent. However, it's advisable to spot test the fabric for colourfastness before applying any cleaning product as certain chemicals can cause damage or bleaching to delicate fabrics.

Stubborn marks and stains are often cured by adding a small amount bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a powerful stain remover that can eliminate all kinds of odours for example, those triggered by urine or milk. It will also help remove any soap or detergent residues. Once you're finished, rinse the fabric thoroughly to get rid of all traces of soap and hang it up to dry. Do this outside, since sunlight is a natural conditioner and disinfectant.
