What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish toddler stroller that is stylish and practical. It's simple to put together and can be converted into a double and features a big storage basket.

This amazing travel system makes it easy to "future proof" by adding a compatible carrycot and car seat. Plus, it folds up easily by hand and is able to stand on its own when folded.

Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you buy so it's important that it's comfortable for your little one. Look for models that have adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding, and a recline function so that you can easily put your child to bed. It's also worth checking that the pushchair can be placed in either 'parent-facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" in case your child is getting older and wants to observe what's going on around them.

A great feature of the Graco Near2Me is its capability to bring your child towards you at the touch of the button, allowing parents to maintain contact with their child and keep them close. This is a great option for babies and newborns and was loved by our parent tester Jaya as a great method to make your child feel loved and loved.

When choosing a pram it is important to think about the overall size. You don't want to have worry about it taking up too much space in your car or home. Select a model that can be folded easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it can fit. Consider how easy to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true impression of how easy or difficult it is to maneuver, fold and store.

A quality pram must be able to lay flat when folded, ensuring that your baby has a comfortable and safe sleep during the first six months, which is essential for their development. Be sure that the pram you're looking at can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat, if needed.

Wheels

The wheels of a pram pushchair are what makes it move and what give your child the ride they require. There are 3 common wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each type has pros and cons depending on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most common and provide great grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a car tyre compressor to inflate them too hard. This isn't a typical problem and is usually caused by someone over-inflating the wheels. This wheel type is commonly used on all-terrain buggies, as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled making them lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing capabilities, and can feel harsher on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more commonly found on strollers than in prams and are the most affordable option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl acetate, is a plastic material that has some properties of rubber and is also lighter. It can be used instead of rubber or PU to keep it in good prams condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

It is crucial to have a reliable brake system in your pushchair. This will protect you, your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals located at the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a button or lever on the handlebars or pushing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also feature an in-wheel brake to provide stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the chassis of a pushchair. It's a great option for newborns up to around six months old, as they require a flat position and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their lung and spine development. A pram with a carrycot is an excellent option for parents who are limited in space or have a small car boot or use public transport frequently.

Some top prams have a built-in carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pushchair so you can easily swap between seat and carriage mode. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or who need to travel by public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly evaluated by MFM home testers and has won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great choice for parents on a budget as it's affordable yet looks and feels high-end and is robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

If you're in search of a high-end single to double pushchair that's suitable from birth and used with a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy twin pushchairs Plus is the ideal choice. This stunning pushchair comes with lay-flat carrycots an sling seat made of fabric and a baby cocoon to provide the most comfortable sleeping environment that is secure and comfortable for twins.

It is also a smooth light-steering, quick and nippy driver, which is ideal for urban environments. It's easy to traverse busy roads and pavements while on the move. It's also extremely easy to install and comes with plenty of accessories like rain cover, footmuff, and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is ideal to protect your baby from the elements and also providing a cozy place for them to relax. It can also prevent heat stroke and sunburns by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models feature an open window, or you can unzip the mesh back to observe your snoozer's little one without disturbing them.

A hood can be useful in winter too, allowing you to shield your baby's sensitive skin from cold wind and rain. Some models come with rain covers that can be easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured using poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella separately that can be attached with magnets to the pram and is easy-to-fold away when not in use.

Whichever model you choose, pram or pushchair, choosing the most suitable model is a crucial choice which you will be using frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout every trip. A good quality pram/pushchair will be able to provide a gentle spine support and keep them from getting tired during long rides or walks.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more targeted towards infants and newborns, as they often come with a bassinet, or carrycot that lets you lie them flat, whereas pushchairs tend to be more flexible and can be converted into an infant seat as your child gets older.

Storage

There are numerous options for pram storage, depending on your budget as well as the space available. If you have the space an outdoor shed is a great option to protect your pram from damage resulting from the weather and keep it out of the way when it is not being used. It is also a good option for those who reside in an area that experiences frequent rainfall or snow.

A shed is constructed from metal or wood and is equipped with a door for easy access. It may also have the security of a lock as well as other features. A garage is another popular option, as it provides protection from the elements while being close to your vehicle if you're using that for transport.

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

To maintain your pushchair you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure it looks great and is free of stains and mildew. Begin by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment, or rinsing in cool, soapy water. Next, you can work on any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle sterilising solution. It is essential to dry the fabric completely 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 pushchair looking like new.
