What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can seem confusing. Prams are designed to carry newborns and young babies with a lying-flat seat.

Prams may also come with a bassinet or carrycot for newborns. Some even have the option of being converted into a pushchair for older babies.

If you intend to take public transport or need to fold your pushchair frequently pick a light and compact stroller.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to get utilized more often than your bottles and nappies. It's therefore crucial to ensure your child is comfortable during every trip by choosing one that has plenty of padding and an ergonomic seat that can be adjusted for height.

It's important to note that many prams and buggies also come with a pram blanket that helps to keep your child warm. These blankets are easy to clean and come in a range of designs and colours.

A pram is designed for infants from 6 months to 6 years of age, when they are still at a stage that they must lay flat. Often, a carrycot or bassinet is attached to the frame. The majority of prams offer the option of either facing your child's parents or the world facing', which means you can decide whether to have your baby's face facing you to bond or let them explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams convert into pushchairs, such as the iCandy Peach 7 – a deluxe single-to-double pushchair that can be used as early as birth with a carrycot up to 25kg (15kg with elevators).

The most important thing to be aware of is that infants and toddlers should not be in any pushchair that doesn't recline to a completely flat position. Traveling in a crouching position can affect their breathing as they breathe more than they would normally. This can lead to breathing problems in the future.

A pushchair is a type of seat that can be folded into a compact space. It's specifically designed for older children and toddlers. They're usually 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 either face you for reassurance or away from you so they can explore the world around them.

Safety

The safety of your child in a pram or pushchair is crucial. You should only ever place your child in a pushchair or pram that has been designed to fit their age and size. This will make them feel safe and secure and help to prevent any accidents. If you're purchasing a pushchair or pram second-hand it is essential to carry out visual safety checks. This will ensure that it's in good condition and not damaged in any way that could pose a risk for your child.

When choosing the right pram or pushchair pick one that comes with a safety harness with simple and fast clips. Check that the buckles do not have any slack and ensure that the straps fit around the torso of your baby. Find models that have a larger base as they are more stable than models with a smaller base.

Avoid overloading your pushchair or pram with things. This can cause the pushchair to tip over and your baby may be thrown out. Don't place anything in the basket that could fall out and harm your baby. This includes drinks, toys and snacks.

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

It's a great idea clean the removable footmuff that comes with your pushchair or pram prior to when you return to it in winter. You can do this by taking the fabric off and washing it with cool soapy water, and then allowing it to air dry outside. You should also brush off any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts recommend that infants lie flat as soon as they can in a pram or pushchair. This will help them develop and lower the risk of back problems as they get older.

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

Style

While some parents are after the most efficient set of wheels that they have access to most parents would prefer a pushchair or pram that's just as stylish as their brand new bundle of joy. There are a variety of high-end prams and pushchairs on the market that combine high-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both eye-catching and practical.

When choosing a pushchair or pram the first thing you should consider is the seat padding. A pushchair that is easy to clean is essential for infants, who can be messy. This is especially important when you intend to make use of your pushchair for long walks through rough terrain or over gravel, dirt and cobbles. Choose a stroller with removable seats and recline mechanisms which can be washed in the machine. Make sure the fabric can be washed by machine to keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to think about is the direction your baby will face in their pushchair. Most pushchairs "from birth" allow you to change 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 pushchairs also offer this option, however it may not be required for all models.

Combination prams are also referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families due to the fact that they can fit an infant bassinet on the same frame. They are usually designed for use from birth and are suitable for babies from 6 months to.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it permits you to attach a car seat to the frame, using adaptors. They are ideal for infants and toddlers from birth to three years old and can be less expensive than buying separate products.

Twin prams or pushchairs are ideal choice for twins or siblings of similar age who require transport in comfort and safety. These are available in many styles and can be fitted with one car seat or a double.

Storage

Alongside providing safety and comfort to your baby the pram bags or pushchair needs to offer plenty of storage for all the essentials. Look for models that have an ample shopping basket that can hold everything your baby needs including spare clothing as well as changing gear as well as bottles of water and snacks. Some include a child's or parent facing pram's area which is ideal for keeping all your personal things. If you're looking for a pram with more storage space consider a convertible pushchair that offers multiple configurations. Having extra space is especially important if you're planning to take your child for long walks or on trips away from home and require storage space for everything you might need.

Maneuvrability is another important feature to take into consideration. Opt for swivel wheels to effortlessly navigate narrow spaces and also look for locking brakes that are able to stop quickly. If you're thinking of a light model, ensure it has the proper dimensions for suspension and folding to make it easy to transport and store. If you're looking to buy something more robust for off-roading, choose a model that has robust all-terrain tires that can handle rougher surfaces.

The main difference between a pram versus a pushchair is that a pushchair offers a lie-flat sleeping position for newborns, while pushing chairs are more suitable for older infants and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own. Some prams can be transformed to a pushchair by taking out the bassinet and replacing it with a seat while other models, such as the Bababing Raffi complete bundle are all-in-one prams that convert into the car seat or carrycot.

Whatever kind of pushchair or pram you choose, be sure to read online reviews and seek recommendations from friends and family. Try out several models before making a final decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, how they fold and how they feel. Consider a convertible car, which is suitable for one or two kids. This will save you money as you don't have to buy an entirely new set of wheels each time your child grows.
