What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can be confusing. Prams have a flat, padded seat that is designed to carry babies and newborns.

Some prams come with an infant bassinet or carrycot that is suitable for newborns. Some can be converted to an infant pushchair once the baby is older.

If you plan on using public transport or need to fold your running pushchair frequently choose a light and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Alongside nappies and bottles, your pushchair will be one of the most frequently used baby items you own. It is important to choose one that is full of padding as well as a comfortable seat that can be adjusted in height.

Many buggies, prams, and pushchairs come with a blanket to keep your child warm. These blankets are easy to wash and come in a range of colours and designs.

A pram is made for infants up to about six months old, as they're at a stage where they need to lay flat, usually with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Most prams will offer the option of facing the parents and the world facing', which means you can choose to have your baby's face facing you to bond with them or let them explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams can be converted to a pushchair, such as the iCandy Peach 7 - a deluxe single to double pushchair that is suitable from birth (with carrycot) and up to 25kg (15kg on elevators).

It is important to remember that infants less than six months old shouldn't be carried in a stroller that doesn't fully recline. This is due to the fact that being in a position that is prone to slumber could affect their breathing as it causes them to breathe more air than normal and could cause respiratory problems in the longer term.

A pushchair is a seat that can be folded into a small space. It's made for older babies and toddlers. They're typically made of an extra durable material than a pram. You can typically find models that let you alter the direction of the seat so that your child can either face towards you to provide reassurance, or away from you so they can explore the world around them.

Safety

The safety of your child in a pushchair or pram sets is crucial. Make sure that you put your baby in a pram or pram that is made for his age and size. This will help them feel secure and safe, and also prevent accidents. If you are buying a secondhand pushchair or stroller, it is important to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure it's in good condition and not damaged in any way that could cause harm to your baby.

When choosing a pram or pushchair pick one that comes with an safety harness with simple and quick clips. Make sure that the buckles do not have any slack and ensure that the straps fit around the baby's torso. Find models with a wider base as they are more stable than those with a narrow base.

Be careful not to overload your pushchair or pram with toys. This can cause the pushchair to tip over, and your baby could fall out. Be careful not to put anything that could harm your baby inside the basket, such as drinks, snacks, and toys.

Make sure you 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 mould or mildew developing.

If your pram or pushchair has a removable footmuff it's a good idea wash it before using it again in winter. It's as simple as taking off the fabric and washing it in cool soapy water and allowing it to air dry outside. It's also recommended to scrub any dirt or mud off of 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 chance of developing back problems as they grow older.

Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, manufacturers and retailers are required to supply products that will be safe for normal or reasonably predictable use. This is applicable to both new and second hand prams and strollers.

Style

Some parents are looking for the most functional set-up of wheels they can find, but many parents also want a pram that is as fashionable as their baby. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs on the market that combine top-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both appealing and practical.

When selecting the right pushchair or pram the first thing you need 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 important. This is particularly true if you intend to take your stroller on long walks over rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Look for a pushchair that comes with removable seat covers and a recline mechanism that can be machine-washed. Check that the fabric is also breathable to keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to consider is the direction that your baby will face in their pushchair. The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' allow you to change the seat from parent facing (facing towards the parent for reassurance and bonding) or facing the world so that they can explore the world around them. Some prams also have this option, however it's not a requirement for all models.

Combination prams are also known as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families since they can fit bassinet baskets on the same frame. They are often designed to be used from birth and are suitable for newborns as young as six months old.

A travel system is similar to a stroller combination in that it allows you to attach a car seat to the frame, using adaptors. They are perfect for babies and toddlers from birth to three years old. They are less expensive than purchasing separate products.

Twin prams and pushchairs are an ideal choice for siblings or twins who want to travel in comfort and security. They are available in a range of styles and fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

As well as offering comfort and safety for your child, a pram or pushchair must provide ample storage space for all the necessities. Look for models that have a spacious shopping basket that can hold all the baby items including spare clothing as well as changing gear bottles of water, and snacks. Some also include a parent or child's compartment that is ideal for storing all your personal things. If you're looking for a pushchair with more storage space, opt for a convertible pushchair that comes with various configurations. Having extra space is especially crucial if you plan to take your child for long walks or on trips away from home and require storage space for everything you might require.

Maneuvrability is another important feature to consider. Choose swivels wheels to navigate through narrow passageways with ease. Also look for brakes that are locked with a responsive stopping power. If you're considering an ultra-lightweight model, make sure that it has the appropriate suspension system and foldable dimensions to facilitate storage and transportation. If you're looking for something that's more durable for off-road travel then select a model with sturdy all-terrain tires that are able to take on rough terrains.

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

If you're not sure which type of pushchair or pram to select, read online reviews and ask friends and family members for recommendations. If you are able, test-drive several models before making a decision. This will give you an impression of how they feel and how they fold and how heavy they are. You may also want to consider whether a convertible model is the best option for you, because they can be used interchangeably between two babies and save money on purchasing an entirely new set wheels every time your baby grows older!
