What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish and elegant pram that is stylish and practical. It's easy to put together, can convert into a double and has large storage space.

A brilliant travel system that allows you to be 'future-proof' by incorporating a compatible car seat and carrycot. It folds easily by hand and is free-standing when folded.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you buy therefore it's essential to ensure it's comfortable for your young one. Choose a model with a comfortable seat padding, adjustable handlebar height and a recline function to allow you to put your child to sleep. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be set to be 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" in case your child is getting older and wants to look around and see what's going on around them.

A great feature of the Near2Me by Graco is the ability to raise your child to you at the touch of the button, allowing parents to maintain eye contact with their baby and keep them close. This is a wonderful option for babies and newborns and was praised by our parent tester Jaya as a great way to make your child feel loved and loved.

When you're choosing a stroller you should consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to have to be concerned about it taking up too much room in your car or home. Select a model that can fold easily and is compact when folded to ensure it fits. Check how easy it is to do this and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a clear idea of how easy or difficult it is to maneuver fold, store and store.

A quality pram should fold completely flat, allowing your child to lay comfortably for the first six months of their life. This is crucial for their development. Be sure that the pram you're considering can do this and that it can be used with a car seat in the event that it is required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and what give your child the ride they need. There are three common wheel types - rubber foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are most common and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too quickly by the pump of a car tyre. This isn't a typical issue and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheels. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, so they are lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and can feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are seen more on prams rather than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.

EVA also known as Ethylene vinyl acetate, is a plastic material that shares some of the properties of rubber and is lighter. It can be used instead of rubber or PU for low maintenance and to reduce the weight of your pram.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is a must and will safeguard your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It is activated by pressing a lever or a button on the handlebars, or by pressing down on your foot. The brakes must be simple to use and should be locked immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also feature an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a light portable cot that attaches to the chassis of a pushchair. It's ideal for infants and babies up to six months of age, since they need to lie flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot in a pram is an excellent option for parents who are limited in space, have a small car boot or who use public transport a lot.

Some prams have a built-in carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pram so that you can quickly switch between seat and carriage mode. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or those who have to take public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is a good prams example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a good choice for parents on a budget as it's reasonably priced, yet has a premium look and feel and is strong, light and compact when folded.

Mountain Buggy twin pushchair Plus, a luxury pushchair for double or single use that can be used from birth with an infant carrycot is the ideal choice. It includes a lay-flat carrycot fabric slings, fabric seats and an infant cooon to offer the perfect sleeping solution for your twins.

It's also a nippy, light-steering and smooth rider that is ideal for urban environments and allows you to easily navigate through busy roads and pavements while on the go. It's also extremely easy to use and comes with a wide range of accessories, such as a footmuff, rain cover and the hood.

Canopy

A canopy for prams will shield your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to rest. It can also prevent sunburns and heatstroke by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models come with a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can detach to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

A hood can be particularly useful in winter too as it protects your baby's delicate skin from the cold wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can be easily popped over the canopy of the pram, and secured with poppers. Alternatively, you can purchase a separate umbrella which attaches to the pram with magnets and is easy to take down when not in use.

You will use your pushchair or pram for many years to come, so choosing the right one is an important choice. As your baby grows, you'll want to make sure they are comfortable and safe throughout every trip. A quality pram or pushchair will help your baby's spine and ensure they are at ease on long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more orientated towards babies and infants and babies, since they typically include a bassinet or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are generally more versatile and can convert to an infant seat as your child gets older.

Storage

There are many options for pram storage depending on your budget and the space you have available. If you have space sheds are an excellent option to shield your pram from damage caused by the weather and keep it out the way when not being used. It's also a good option for those who reside in a region that has frequent snow or rain.

A shed is usually built from wood or metal and comes with doors that allow that allows easy access. It may also have a lock or other security features. Another popular option is a garage, which will protect you from elements and will be close to your vehicle if that's what you want to use it for.

If you don't have a garage or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet in your home. It will be hidden and you won't notice it when you walk into the house or nursery. It might be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.

To keep your pushchair clean it's best to clean it frequently. This will ensure that it looks fantastic and is free of mildew and stains. Begin by vacuuming the hood using an attachment that is small or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Next you can clean any stains using a cloth brush or gentle sterilising solution. It is essential to dry the fabric thoroughly outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase a cleaner that will help remove the most stubborn stains and leave your stroller looking like new.
