What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

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

Prams are also available with a carrycot or bassinet for newborns. Some can be converted to an infant pushchair once the baby is older.

If you're planning to travel by public transport or fold your pushchair regularly, choose a lightweight and compact buggy.

Comfort

Alongside bottles and nappies, your pushchair is likely be one of the most used baby products you have. It is essential to select a model that has plenty of padding and a comfortable seating position that can be adjusted to height.

It's worth noting that a lot of prams, buggies and pushchairs come with a fitted pram blanket that helps to keep your child warm. These blankets are easy to wash and come in a range of colours and designs.

A pram is designed for infants from 6 months to 6 years of age, when they are still at the stage that they need to lay flat. Often, a bassinet, or carrycot, is attached to the frame. The majority of prams have the option of either 'parent' facing or world facing. This enables you to choose whether you prefer your baby to be facing you to bond with you, or explore the sights and sounds of their surroundings. Some prams convert into pushchairs, such as the iCandy Peach 7 – a luxurious single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth using the carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg using elevators).

The most important thing to be aware of is that very young babies should not travel in any pushchair that does not recline to a fully flat position. This is due to the fact that being in a position that is prone to slumber could affect their breathing because it causes them to breathe more air than normal and could cause respiratory problems in the longer time.

A pushchair is a chair with wheels that folds typically to a compact size. It's usually geared towards toddlers and older babies until around three years old. They are typically made of a more durable material than prams. You can also find models that let you alter the direction in which the seat is facing to allow your child to be reassured by you or turn away to explore the world.

Safety

It is important to ensure that your baby is safe in a pram or pram. You should never put your child in a pushchair or pram that has been made for their size and age. This will help them feel safe and secure and prevent accidents. If you're purchasing a pushchair or pram second-hand it is essential to carry out visual safety checks. This will ensure it is in good working order and not damaged in any way that could cause harm to your baby.

When choosing the right pram or pushchair choose one equipped with a safety harness that has quick and easy clips and connections. Verify that the buckles aren't loose and that the straps are snugly around your baby's waist. Choose a model with a wider base as they will be more stable than models with a smaller base.

Be careful not to overload your pushchair or pram with items. This can cause it to tip and your baby could be thrown out. Similarly, don't put anything in the basket that could fall out and harm your baby - this includes drinks, toys and food items.

Follow the instructions that are provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your stroller or pram. When cleaning the fabric or cleaning the hood, be sure to dry it thoroughly outdoors to prevent any mildew or mould forming.

If your pushchair or pram pushchair features a footmuff that is removable, it's best to wash it before you use it again in winter. You can do this by taking off the fabric and washing it in soapy water and allowing it to air dry outdoors. It's also a good idea to brush any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts suggest that babies sit flat in a triple stroller or pram as soon as they can. This will help their development and reduce the chance of developing back problems as they grow older.

Retailers and manufacturers have obligations under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to offer products that are safe to use in normal or reasonably foreseeable use. This is applicable to both new and second-hand prams and strollers.

Style

Some parents are looking for the most efficient set-up of wheels they can find however, many parents require a stroller that is as stylish as their infant. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs on the market that combine top-quality engineering with attractive designs that are both appealing and practical.

When you are choosing a pram or pushchair, the first thing you need to think about is the seat padding. A pushchair that is simple to clean is essential for children, as they can be messy. This is especially true if you plan to make use of your pushchair for long walks on rough terrain or over dirt, gravel and cobbles. Find a pushchair that has removable seat covers and recline mechanisms that can be machine washed. Check that the fabric can be washed by machine to keep your baby comfortable and dry.

Another thing to think about is the direction that your baby will face in their pushchair. The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' allow you to switch the seat from parent facing (facing the parent to reassure and bond) or world facing, so that they can explore the world. Some pushchairs offer this feature also, but it's not necessary for all models and may be an option that is only available as an extra.

Combination prams are also referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families since they can fit a bassinet basket on the same frame. They are designed to be used from birth and are suitable for children from six months old to.

A travel system is similar to a babiie stroller combination in that it permits you to connect a car seat to the frame, with adaptors. They are an excellent choice for babies and toddlers from 3 years old and can be more cost effective than buying separate products.

Twin prams or pushchairs are excellent option for twins or siblings of the same age who need to be transported in comfort and safety. They are available in a range of styles and fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

A pushchair or pram should not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but also offer ample storage for all the necessities. Look for models that have large shopping baskets that can hold everything your baby needs including spare clothing and changing equipment, bottles of water and snacks. Some include a parent or child's compartment, which is ideal for storing all of your personal things. If you're looking for a pram with even more storage consider a convertible pushchair that offers various configurations. The extra space is crucial, especially if you plan to take your child for long walks or leave home.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is the ability to maneuver. Opt for swivel wheel options to effortlessly navigate narrow spaces and be sure to look for brakes with locking that are responsive enough 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. Alternatively, if you want something that is more durable for off-road use, select one with sturdy all-terrain wheels able to be able to withstand rougher terrain than pavements.

A pram is a vehicle that provides a flat sleeping position for newborns. A pushchair is better suited for older babies and toddlers that 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 transform into a carrycot or car seat.

Whatever kind of pushchair or pram you decide to purchase, make sure to read reviews online and seek recommendations from your family and friends. Try out several models before settling on one. This will give you an idea of their weight, their fold and how they feel. Consider a convertible vehicle, which can be used for one or two children. This will save you money as you don't have to buy an entirely new set of wheels each time your child grows.
