What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

It's also worth noting that many prams and buggies also come with a fitted pram blanket that helps to keep your child warm. They can be popped into the wash and are available in a range of different colours and designs to fit your personal style.

Some prams are convertible into pushchairs, such as the iCandy Peach 7 – a premium single-to-double pushchair which can be used from birth with a carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg with elevators).

It is crucial to remember that infants less than six months old should not be transported 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 could lead to respiratory issues in the long run.

There are models where you can change the direction the seat is facing to allow your child to look at you for comfort or away from you to explore the world.

Safety

The safety of your baby in a pushchair car seat or pram is vital. Only ever place your baby in a pushchair or pram that is made to his size and age. This will help them feel safe and secure, and will prevent accidents. When purchasing a second-hand pushchair or folding stroller it is crucial to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure that the item is in good condition and not damaged in any way that could pose danger for your child.

When you are choosing the right pram or pushchair, look for one equipped with a safety harness that has quick and easy clips and connections. Check that the buckles don't have any looseness and that the straps are secure around your baby's torso. Also look for a wide base, as this will offer more stability than models that have narrow bases.

Be careful not to overload your pram or pushchair with items. This can cause the pushchair newborn to tip over and your baby may fall out. Be careful not to put anything that could harm your baby inside the basket, such as drinks, snacks, and toys.

Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer when cleaning your stroller or pram. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pram, make sure to dry it outside thoroughly. This will stop mildew or mould from developing.

If your pushchair or pram has a removable footmuff it's best to wash it prior to using it again in winter. It's as simple as taking the fabric off and washing it in cool soapy water, and then allowing it to air dry outside. You should also scrub any dirt or mud off the axles and wheels.

Experts suggest that babies lie flat in a pushchair or pram as early as possible. This will help them develop and lower the chance of developing back problems as they age.

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

Style

Some parents want the most functional set-up of wheels they can get However, many parents require a stroller that is as stylish as their child. There are plenty of high-quality pushchairs and prams available that combine quality engineering with attractive designs that are as eye-catching as they are practical.

When choosing the right pushchair or pram, the first thing to be thinking about is the padding for the seat. A pushchair that is simple to clean is essential for babies, who can be messy. This is especially true if you plan to use your pushchair for long walks on rough terrain or over dirt, gravel and cobbles. Search for a pushchair that comes with removable seat covers and a recline mechanism that can be machine-washed. Make sure the fabric is also breathable, which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable.

You should also consider the direction your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from birth' pushchairs allow you to switch the seat between parent facing (facing towards the parent for reassurance and bonding) or world facing so they can discover the world around them. Some prams have this option, but it's not required for all models.

Combination prams are also referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families since they can fit a bassinet basket on the same frame. They are typically designed to be used from birth and are suitable for newborns as young as six months old.

A travel system is a similar option to a combination pram in that it allows you to put car seats on the frame, typically by using adaptors. They are perfect for babies and toddlers from birth to three years old and can be cheaper than buying separate products.

Twin prams and pushchairs can be a great choice for twins or siblings who require comfort and security. They are available in a variety of styles and fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

A pram or pushchair should not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but should also have ample storage space for all the essentials. Find models with a large shopping basket to contain all your baby's necessities including spare clothes and changing equipment, bottles of water, and snacks. Some also include a child's or parent's area that is ideal for keeping all your personal belongings. If you're looking for a pushchair with additional storage choose a convertible model that has various configurations. Having extra space is especially important if you're planning to take your child on long walks or excursions away from home and require a place to store everything you'll require.

Maneuvrability is an additional feature to take into consideration. Opt for swivel wheel options to easily navigate narrow passageways, and look out for brakes with locking that are able to stop quickly. If you're considering a lightweight model, ensure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions for simple storage and transportation. If you're looking for something that's more robust for off-road use, select a model with robust, all-terrain tires that can be able to handle the rougher terrain.

The primary difference between a pram versus a pushchair is that a pram provides an easy, flat sleeping position for infants, whereas pushing chairs are more designed for older children and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own. Some prams convert into pushchairs by removing the bassinet, and replacing it with a seat for an adult. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to be converted into a carrycot or car seat.

Whichever type of pushchair or pram you pick, make sure to read reviews online and seek recommendations from your family and friends. Test-drive several options before you make your decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, their fold and how they feel. Consider a convertible vehicle, that can be used by one or two kids. This will save you money as you don't have to purchase a new set of wheels each time your child grows.
