What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can be confusing. Prams have a flat, padded seat that is specifically designed to be used by babies and newborns.

Some prams include the option of a carrycot or bassinet for newborns. Some can be converted to a pushchair when the baby is older.

If you are planning to use public transport or fold your pushchair often opt for a lightweight and compact buggy.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to be more frequently used than your nappies and bottles. It's therefore crucial to ensure your child is comfortable on every trip by choosing one with plenty of padding as well as an ergonomic seat that can be adjusted to height.

It's worth noting that a lot of prams or buggies are equipped with a fitted pram blanket, which can help to keep your child warm. They can be easily put into the washing machine and are available in a range of designs and colours to match your preferences.

A pram is specifically designed for infants up to about six months old, as they're in the stage of development that they must lie flat, often with a bassinet or carrycot attached to the frame. The majority of prams offer the option of facing your child's parents or the world facing', so you can decide whether to have your baby face you for bonding or to allow them to explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams can be converted into a pushchair, such as the iCandy Peach 7 - a premium single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth (with carrycot) and up to 25kg (15kg on elevators).

It is important to keep in mind that babies less than six months old should not be carried in a pushchair that isn't able to recline completely flat. When they are in a crouching posture, it can impact their breathing as they breathe more than normal. This can lead to respiratory problems in the long run.

A pushchair is a chair that folds down into a compact strollers size. It's made for older babies and toddlers. They're usually made of more durable materials than a pram and you will typically find models that let you alter the direction of the seat so that your child can face you to feel safe or away from you so that they can explore the world around them.

Safety

The safety of your baby in a pushchair or pram is essential. Always put your child in a pushchair or pram that is designed for his age and size. This will help them feel secure and safe and will help prevent accidents. If you are buying a secondhand stroller or pushchair, it is important to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure that it's in good condition and is not damaged in a way that could be harmful to your child.

When choosing the right pram or pushchair make sure you choose one with a safety harness which has quick and easy clips and connections. Make sure the buckles are not loose and that the straps fit comfortably around the waist of your child. Also, look for a broad base, as this will offer more stability than models that have narrow bases.

Avoid overloading your pram or pushchair with things. This could cause the pushchair to topple over, and your baby could be thrown out. Be careful not to put anything that could harm your baby in the basket, including drinks, snacks, and toys.

Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your pram or stroller. When washing the fabric or cleaning the hood, always dry it thoroughly outdoors to prevent any mould or mildew developing.

If your pushchair or pram has a removable footmuff, it's best to wash it before using it again in winter. You can do this by removing the fabric and washing it with cool soapy water and allowing it to air dry outdoors. It's also a good idea to brush any dirt or mud off of the wheels and axles.

Experts advise that infants lie down as soon as they can in a pram or pushchair. This will help their development and help reduce back pain later in life.

Manufacturers and retailers have obligations under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to offer products that are safe in regular or reasonably foreseeable usage. This is the case for new pushchairs and prams as well as second-hand ones.

Style

Some parents are looking for the most efficient set-up of wheels they can get however, many parents want a pram that is as stylish as their infant. There are a lot of high-quality pushchairs and prams available that combine quality engineering with stylish designs that are as striking as they are practical.

When selecting a pram or pushchair, the first thing you should be thinking about is the padding for the seat. A pushchair that is easy to clean is essential for babies, who can be messy. This is particularly true in the event that you plan to take your stroller compact on long walks over rough terrain, or on dirt and gravel. Find a pushchair that has removable seats and recline mechanisms which can be washed in the machine. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable to keep your baby dry and comfortable.

It is also important to consider the direction your baby will face in their pushchair. Most 'from birth' pushchairs allow you to change the seat from parent facing (facing towards the parent for reassurance and bonding) or facing the world to allow your child to discover the world around them. Some prams have this option, however it may not be a requirement for all models.

Combination prams are also known as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families since they can fit a bassinet basket on the same frame. They are made to be used from birth, and are suitable for children up to six-months old.

A travel system is similar to a stroller combination in that it allows the attachment of a car seat to the frame using adaptors. They are an excellent choice for toddlers and babies up to three years and are more cost effective than buying separate products.

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

Stores

As well as offering safety and comfort to your baby the pram or pushchair must provide ample storage space for all the necessities. Look for models with a large basket to contain all the baby's items like spare clothes, changing equipment, water bottles and snacks. Some include the child's or parent's compartment which is ideal for storing all your personal items. If you're looking to purchase a stroller with even more storage, opt for a convertible pushchair that comes with multiple configurations. The extra space is important if you're planning on take your baby on long walks or trips away from home and require storage space for everything you'll require.

Maneuvrability is a further aspect to consider. Pick swivels wheels that can get around narrow spaces easily. Also look for locking brakes with a quick stopping power. If you're considering a lightweight model, ensure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions for easy storage and transportation. Alternatively, if you want something that is more durable for off-road use, select one with sturdy all-terrain wheels able to be able to withstand rougher terrain than pavements.

A pram is designed to offer an ideal sleeping position for newborns. A pushchair is more suitable for older infants and toddlers that can sit up independently. Some prams can be transformed into a pushchair by removing the bassinet and replacing it with a seat, and other models like the Bababing Raffi complete bundle are all-in-one models that can convert into a car seat or carrycot.

If you're not sure which pushchair or pram to select, read online reviews and ask your friends and family members for recommendations. Try out several models before you make your decision. This will provide you with an idea of their weight, their folding capabilities and how they feel. You might also want to consider whether a convertible model is the best option for you, as these can be used interchangeably between one or two children and save money on purchasing an entirely new set of wheels every time your baby grows older!
