What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of pushchairs prams and prams can be a bit confusing. Prams have a flat, padded seat that is designed to carry newborns and infants.

Prams may also come with a bassinet or carrycot for babies. Some can be converted into an infant pushchair once the baby is older.

If you plan on using public transportation or have to fold your pushchair often choose a light and compact strollers buggy.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to be more frequently used than your bottles and nappies. Therefore, it's crucial to make sure your child is comfortable during every outing by choosing an option that has plenty of padding and an upholstered seat that can be adjusted to height.

Many prams, buggies, and pushchairs come with a blanket to keep your child warm. These can be easily popped into the washing machine and are available in a variety of colors and designs to match your style.

A pram is made for infants up to approximately six months old as they're at the stage that they must lie flat, often with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Most prams offer the option of 'parent facing or 'world facing. This allows you to choose whether you want your baby to face you to bond with you, or explore the sights and sounds of their environment. Some prams convert into pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a deluxe single-to-double pushchair (highwave.Kr) that can be used as early as birth with a carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg using elevators).

The most important thing to be aware of is that babies who are very young should not travel in any pushchair that is not able to recline to a completely flat position. Traveling in a crouching position can impact their breathing as they breathe in more air than they would normally. This could lead to respiratory problems in the long run.

A pushchair is a vehicle on wheels that folds typically to a compact size, and is generally designed towards toddlers and older babies until approximately three years old. They're typically made of an extra durable material than a pram, and you can usually find models that allow you to change the direction of the seat so that your child can face you for reassurance or away from you so they can explore the world around them.

Safety

It is important to ensure your child is secure in a pushchair or pram. You should never place your child in a pushchair or pram specifically designed to fit their size and age. This will make them feel safe and secure and help to prevent any accidents. When buying a second-hand stroller or pushchair, it is important to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure it's in good condition and is not damaged in a way that could be harmful to your baby.

When choosing the right pram or pushchair, choose one that has an safety harness with quick and easy clips. Make sure that the buckles do not have any slack and that the straps are secure around your baby's torso. Also, look for a wide base, which will give more stability than models with narrow bases.

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

Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean your pram or pushchair. If you're cleaning the fabric or cleaning the hood, be sure to dry it thoroughly outdoors to prevent any mildew or mould from developing.

It's a good idea to clean the removable footmuff that comes with your pushchair or pram prior to when you can use it again in winter. This can be accomplished by removing the fabric and washing it in cool water with soap and letting it air dry outside. It's also an excellent idea to scrub any dirt or mud off of the wheels and axles.

Experts recommend that babies lie flat in a pushchair or pram as soon as they can. This will aid their development and decrease the chance of back issues as they grow older.

Manufacturers and retailers have a duty under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to supply products that are safe in normal or reasonably foreseeable use. This is applicable to new prams and pushchairs as well as second-hand ones.

Style

Some parents are looking for the most functional set-up of wheels they can find however, many parents want a pram that is as stylish as their infant. Fortunately, there are plenty of high-quality pushchairs and prams on the market that combine high-end engineering with attractive designs that are as attractive as they are practical.

When selecting a pushchair or pram the first thing you should be thinking about is the padding for the seat. Babies can be messy and having a pram that's easy to clean is essential. This is particularly true in the event that you plan to use your stroller for long walks on rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Choose a stroller with removable seats and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable to keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to consider is the direction that your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from-birth' pushchairs let you switch the seat between facing parents (facing the parent to calm and bond) or world facing, so that they can explore the world. Some prams have this option as well but it's not necessary for all models and could only be an optional extra.

Combination prams, also called 3-in-1 prams, are an increasingly popular choice for families as they can fit a bassinet basket and an infant seat on the same frame. They are made to be used from birth and are suitable for children as young as six months old.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows the attachment of car seats to the frame, with adaptors. They are perfect for babies and toddlers up to three years old and are less expensive than purchasing separate products.

Twin prams or pushchairs are a ideal choice for twins or siblings of similar age who need to be transported in safety and comfort. They are available in a range of styles and can be fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

A pushchair or pram must not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but provide ample storage space for all the necessities. Find models with a spacious shopping basket that can hold all your baby supplies including spare clothing and changing equipment, bottles of water and snacks. Some models come with a compartment for the parent or child that is ideal to keep your personal belongings. If you're looking for a pushchair with additional storage consider a convertible pushchair that offers different configurations. The extra space is crucial if you plan to take your baby on long walks or trips away from home and require a place to store everything you'll require.

Another important aspect to consider is the ability to maneuver. Opt for swivel wheels to effortlessly navigate narrow spaces and also look for brakes with locking that are responsive enough to stop quickly. If you're looking at an ultra-lightweight model, make sure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions to facilitate storage and transportation. Alternatively, if you want something more robust for off-road travel, choose one with sturdy all-terrain wheels able to handle rougher terrains better than pavements.

A pram is designed to provide a flat sleeping position for newborns. A pushchair is more suitable for older infants and toddlers that can stand up on their own. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs by removing the bassinet and replacing it with a seat for an adult. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle can convert into a carrycot, or car seat.

If you're unsure of which pram or Double Pushchair pushchair to choose, read online reviews and ask friends and family for recommendations. If you are able, test-drive a few options before making your decision to get an idea of how they feel, how they fold, and how heavy they are. Consider a convertible vehicle, that can be used by one or two kids. This will save you money by not having to buy an entirely new set of wheels each time your child grows.
