Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment you purchase so it's crucial to make sure it is comfortable for your little one. Choose a model with a comfortable seat padding, adjustable handlebar height, and recline feature to allow you to lay your child down. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be set in either 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', if your child is older and would like to see what is going on around them.

The Graco Near2Me comes with an interesting feature that allows parents to keep their child close and maintain eye contact. This is a wonderful option for babies and newborns and was highly praised by our tester for parents Jaya as being a lovely method to make your child feel special and loved.

It's important to consider the overall size of a pram when selecting, as you do not want it to take up too much space in the trunk of your car or in your living area. Choose a model that can be folded easily and is compact when collapsed to ensure it fits. Find out how easy it is to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true impression of how easy or difficult it is to move fold, store and store.

A quality pram pushchair should fold completely flat, allowing your baby to sleep comfortably during the first six months of their lives. This is essential for their development. Check that the pram you're looking at is able to do this and that it can be used with a car seat, should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and provide your child the experience they need. There are three common wheel types - rubber foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and cons depending on how you plan to use your stroller.

Rubber wheels are the most popular and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too quickly with the pump of a car tyre. This is not a frequent issue and is usually caused by someone who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, so they are lighter than rubber tires. They don't have the same shock absorbing ability and can sometimes feel more hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams rather than strollers and are generally the lowest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic that is lightweight and has some characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used to replace PU or rubber in your pram for its ease of maintenance and weight reduction.

A strong and reliable brake system on your pram is a crucial feature that will protect your child, you and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with a brake pedal on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever, or button on the handlebars or by pressing down your foot. The brakes must be simple to use and should be locked immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs feature brakes on the middle wheel to provide extra stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that can be attached to the frame of the pushchair. It's a great choice for newborns up to around six months old as they need to lie flat, which is essential for their lung and spine development. A carrycot in a pram is a fantastic choice for parents who are limited on space or have a small car boot, or who take public transport a lot.

Some prams are equipped with a carrying cot that folds into the frame. This allows you to easily change between the seat and carriage modes. This is a great option for families with an insufficient car boot or frequent public transport. It will help you save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored well with MFM home testers, as well as winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's a great choice for parents who are on a budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet has a luxurious look and feel. It's also strong and lightweight. It's also compact when folded.

If you're in search of a high-end single-to-double pushchair that's suitable for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot and a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the ideal option. This stunning pushchair stroller comes with a lay flat carrycot plus, a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is safe and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a smooth light-steering, quick and nippy driver, which is ideal for urban areas. It is easy to navigate busy roads and pavements on the move. It's also extremely easy to set up and comes with lots of accessories such as rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to sleep. It also helps prevent sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models have a mesh back or peekaboo section that you can detach to monitor the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood is an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover that can be easily put over the canopy of the pram and secured using poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella that is attached by magnets to the pram and is easy-to-fold away when not being used.

If you decide to go with a pushchair or pram, picking the best model is a major decision and one that you will use regularly for years to come. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout every journey. A quality pram or pushchair will ensure your baby's spine is supported and keep them relaxed during long walks and bumpy rides.

It's important to note that prams tend to be more geared towards babies and infants, as they often include a bassinet or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, whereas cheap pushchairs are more versatile and can convert to an infant seat as your child grows older.

Storage

There are a variety of options for storage for prams, according to your budget and the space available. If you have space sheds are an excellent option to shield your pram from damage resulting from the elements and keep it out of the way when not in use. It's also a great option for those who reside in an area that experiences frequent rainfall or snow.

A shed is typically made out of metal or wood and comes with a door that allows easy access. It could also be equipped with locks or other security features. Garages are another popular option, as it provides protection from the elements and be close to your vehicle if you're using that for transport.

If you don't have a garage or shed, you can keep your pram in a closet in your home. This will keep it out of the way, so you don't have to glance at it every time you enter your house or nursery. However, it may be difficult to access if you have guests visiting.

To keep your pushchair in good condition, you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure it is clean and free of stains and mildew. To clean a hood, start by vacuuming it using the small attachment or washing it with cool soapy water. Then, you can work on any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle sterilising solution. Be sure to dry your fabric outside to prevent mildew and mould from spreading. You can also purchase an item to clean up the most stubborn stains making your pushchair look like new.
