What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can seem confusing. Prams are made to carry infants and toddlers with a lie-flat seating.

Some prams come with an infant bassinet or carrycot that is suitable for infants. Some even have the option of changing it into a pushchair for older children.

If you are planning to use public transport or need to fold your pushchair frequently choose a light and compact buggy.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to get used more than your nappies and bottles. It is essential to select one that has plenty of padding as well as a comfortable seat that can be adjusted to the height.

Many prams, buggies, 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 fit your personal preferences.

A pram is suitable for babies up to six months of age, and they are still at a stage that they need to lay flat. Most often, a bassinet, or carrycot, is attached to the frame. Most prams will offer a choice of facing your child's parents or the world facing', so you can choose whether to have your baby face you to bond with them or let them explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs, such as the iCandy Peach 7 – a premium single-to-double pushchair which can be used from birth using a carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg using elevators).

It is vital to keep in mind that babies less than six months old shouldn't be carried in a pushchair that doesn't recline fully flat. This is because travelling in a crouching position can affect their breathing, because it causes them to breathe more air than normal and could cause respiratory issues in the long term.

A pushchair is a chair that folds down into a compact size. It's made for older babies and toddlers. They are typically made of a more durable material compared to prams. There are also models where you can change the direction the seat is facing so that your child can look at you for comfort or away from you to explore the world.

Safety

It is essential to ensure that your child is safe in a pram or pram. Only ever place your child in a pushchair or pram designed to his size and age. This will help them feel safe and secure and help to prevent any accidents. If you are buying a secondhand pushchair or stroller it is crucial to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure it is in good condition and not damaged in any way that could be harmful to your child.

When choosing a pushchair or pram pick one that comes with an safety harness with simple and quick clips. Verify that the buckles are not loose and that the straps are snugly around your child's waist. Also look for a wide base, as this will offer more stability than models that have narrow bases.

Beware of overloading your pushchair and pram with items. This can cause it to tip over and your baby might fall out. Don't put anything that could hurt your baby in the basket, such as drinks, snacks, and toys.

Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your pram or stroller. If you're washing the fabric or cleaning the hood, be sure to dry it thoroughly outside to prevent any mildew or mould forming.

If your pushchair or pram has a removable footmuff it's best to wash it before you use it again in winter. This can be accomplished by removing the fabric, washing it in cool water using soap and letting it dry outside. You should also scrub any dirt or mud that has accumulated on the wheels and axles.

Experts recommend that babies sit flat in a stroller or pram as soon as they can. This will help them develop and reduce the risk of back problems as they age.

Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, retailers and manufacturers are required to provide products that will be safe for normal or reliable use. This is applicable to new prams and pushchairs as well as second-hand ones.

Style

While some parents are looking for the most efficient set of wheels that they can get their hands on, many want a pram or pushchair that's just as stylish as their brand new baby. There are a lot of high-end prams and pushchairs on the market that combine quality engineering with stylish designs that are as eye-catching as they are practical.

When you are choosing a pram or pushchair, the first thing you should think about is the seat padding. A pushchair that is easy to clean will be important for infants, who can be messy. This is true especially when you plan to take your stroller on long walks on rough terrain, or on dirt and gravel. Look for a pushchair with removable seats and recline mechanisms which can be washed in the machine. Make sure the fabric is also breathable to keep your baby comfortable and dry.

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

Combination prams, also known as 3-in-1 prams, are a very popular option for families because they can fit both the bassinet basket as well as an incline seat on the same frame. They are designed to be used from birth and are suitable for children as young as six months old.

A travel system is an option to a combined pram in that it allows you to put car seats on the frame too, usually using adaptors. These are great for babies and toddlers between birth and three years old and are less expensive than purchasing separate items.

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

Storage

In addition to providing safety and comfort to your baby, a pram or pushchair needs to offer plenty of storage for all the essentials. Look for models with large shopping baskets that can accommodate all your baby supplies including spare clothes as well as changing gear as well as bottles of water and snacks. Some models come with a compartment for the parent or child, which is perfect for storing your personal items. If you're looking to purchase a stroller with more storage space, opt for a convertible pushchair that comes with multiple configurations. It's important to have extra space especially if you want to take your child on long walks or to be away from home.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the ability to maneuver. Opt for swivel wheels so you can make it easy to navigate narrow passageways and be sure to look for locking brakes that are able to stop quickly. If you're considering a lightweight model, ensure it has the proper dimensions for folding and suspension to allow for easy storage and transport. If you're looking for something that's more durable for off-road travel then select a model with robust, all-terrain tires that can be able to handle the rougher terrain.

A pram is designed to provide an easy sleeping position for infants. A pushchair is best suitable for older infants and toddlers who can sit up independently. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs, by removing the bassinet and replacing it with an adult's seat. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle can transform into a carrycot or car seat.

If you're not sure the type of pram or pushchair to choose, read reviews on the internet and ask friends and family for recommendations. Try out several models before you make your decision. This will provide you with an idea of their weight, how they fold and how they feel. You may also want to consider whether a convertible model is the best option for you, because they can be used interchangeably between one or two children and save money on buying a new set of wheels every time your baby gets older!
