What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of prams and pushchairs can seem confusing. Prams are designed to carry infants and toddlers with a lie-flat seat.

Prams are also available with a bassinet or carrycot for newborns. Some even offer the option of changing it into a pushchair for older children.

If you plan on using public transport or need to fold up your pushchair regularly choose a light and compact buggy.

Comfort

Your pushchair will probably be utilized more often than your nappies and bottles. It's therefore crucial to ensure that your child is safe on every outing by choosing a model that has plenty of padding and an upholstered seat that can be adjusted for height.

Many buggies, prams and pushchairs have a blanket to keep your child warm. They can be easily put into the wash and are available in a variety of different colours and designs to match your preferences.

A pram is specifically designed for newborn babies up to approximately six months old when they're still at a stage where they need to lie flat, typically with a bassinet or carrycot attached to the frame. The majority of prams offer the option of either facing the parents and the world facing', meaning you can choose to let your baby face you to bond or allow them to explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs, 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 vital to remember that infants less than six months old shouldn't be carried in a stroller that doesn't recline fully flat. This is because being in a crouched up position can affect their breathing, as it causes them to breathe more air than normal and could cause breathing problems in the long term.

A pushchair is a chair on wheels that folds typically, to a small size, and is generally designed toward toddlers and older infants up to the age of approximately three years old. They're typically made of more durable materials than a pram and you can usually find models that let you change the direction of the seat so that your child can face you for reassurance or away from you so that they can explore the world around them.

Safety

It is crucial to ensure that your baby is safe in a pram or pram double. You should never place your child in a pram or pushchair specifically designed for their age and size. This will make them feel secure and safe and will help prevent accidents. When purchasing a second-hand pushchair or stroller it is crucial to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure that the item is in good condition and not damaged in any way that could pose danger to your baby.

When choosing a pram or pushchair make sure you choose one with a safety harness that has easy and quick clips and connections. Make sure the buckles are not loose and that the straps fit comfortably around your child's waist. Choose a model with a larger base since they are more stable than those with a smaller base.

Be careful not to overload your pushchair or pram with things. This could cause it to tip over and your baby could fall out. Don't place things in the storage basket that could fall out and hurt your baby. This includes drinks, toys and food items.

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

It's a good idea to wash the removable footmuff of your pushchair or pram set before you use it again in winter. This can be done by taking the fabric off and washing it in cool water with soap, and then letting it air dry outside. It is also recommended to scrub off any dirt or mud that has accumulated on the wheels and axles.

Experts recommend that babies lie flat in a pushchair or pram as soon as possible. This will aid their development and reduce back problems later in life.

Retailers and manufacturers have an obligation under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to offer products that are safe to use in the normal or reasonably anticipated use. This applies to both new and second hand prams and strollers.

Style

Some parents want the most efficient set-up of wheels they can get, but many parents also need a pram that is as stylish as their child. There are numerous high-end prams and pushchairs available that combine high-end engineering with stylish designs that are both eye-catching and practical.

When selecting a pushchair or pram, the first thing to be thinking about is the padding for the seat. Babies can be messy and so having a pushchair that's easy to clean is crucial. This is especially true if you plan to use your pushchair for long walks in rough terrain or over gravel, dirt and cobbles. Find a pushchair that has removable seats and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Check that the fabric can be machine washed to keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to think about is the direction that your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from birth' pushchairs allow you to change the seat to face towards parents (facing towards the parent to provide reassurance and bonding) or facing the world so that they can discover the world around them. Some prams have this option, but it may not be required for all models.

Combination prams are referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families due to the fact that they can accommodate an infant bassinet on the same frame. They are usually designed to be used starting at birth and are suitable for infants from 6 months to.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows the attachment of car seats to the frame, using adaptors. These are a great option for toddlers and infants until three years old and are more cost effective than buying separate products.

twin pushchair prams and pushchairs are an ideal choice for twins or siblings who require safety and comfort. These are available in many styles and are able to be fitted either with one car seat or a double.

Stores

A pushchair or pram must not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but also offer ample storage for all of the essentials. Look for models that have large shopping baskets that can accommodate everything your baby needs, including spare clothes as well as changing gear, bottles of water and snacks. Some also include a child's or parent's area that is ideal for storing all your personal items. If you want a pram with more storage, choose a pushchair with different configurations. The extra space is crucial if you plan to take your child for long walks or trips away from home and need an area to store anything you'll need.

Another important aspect to consider is maneuverability. Opt for swivel wheels to easily navigate narrow passageways and be sure to look for locking brakes that are responsive enough to stop quickly. If you're looking at a lighter model, ensure it has the right dimensions for suspension and folding for easy transport and storage. Alternatively, if you want something more sturdy for off-roading, pick one with sturdy all-terrain wheels that are able to cope with rougher surfaces than pavements.

A pram is designed to provide a flat sleeping position for newborns. A pushchair is more suitable for older infants and toddlers who can sit up independently. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs by removing the bassinet and replacing it with a seat for an adult. Other models like the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to transform into a carrycot or car seat.

If you're unsure of which pram or pushchair to choose check out online reviews and ask friends and family members for recommendations. If you are able, test-drive several models before making your choice to get an impression of how they feel, how they fold, and how heavy they are. Consider a convertible vehicle, that can be used by one or two children. This will save you money by not having to purchase a new set of wheels every time your child grows.
