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 specifically designed to carry infants and babies.

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

If you are planning to take public transportation or fold your pushchair often opt for a lightweight and compact stroller pushchair.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to get utilized more often than your nappies and bottles. As such, it's important to ensure that your child is comfortable on every outing by choosing an option with plenty of padding as well as an upholstered seat that can be adjusted for the height of your child.

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

A pram is specifically designed for babies who are about six months old, while they're still in the stage of development where they need to lie flat, often with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Most prams offer the option of either 'parent' facing or 'world-facing. This enables the user to decide whether they want your baby to face you to connect with you, or explore the sights and sounds in their surroundings. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a luxurious single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth with a carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg using elevators).

It is important to keep in mind that babies less than six months old should not be carried in a pushchair that doesn't fully recline. This is because travelling in a position that is prone to slumber could affect their breathing since it causes them breathe in more air than they normally do and can even lead to respiratory problems in the longer time.

A pushchair is a seat with wheels that folds usually to a very compact stroller size. It's usually geared towards toddlers and older babies until about three years old. They're typically made of a more durable material compared to prams. You can also find models that allow you to change the direction that the seat is facing so that your child can look at you for comfort or turn away to explore the world.

Safety

The safety of your child in a pram or pushchair is crucial. Only ever put your baby in a pushchair or pram that is designed to his size and age. This will ensure that they feel safe and secure, and also prevent accidents. When purchasing a second-hand cheap stroller or pushchair it is crucial to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure that it's in good working order and isn't damaged in any way that could pose a risk to your baby.

When you are choosing a pram or pushchair pick one that comes with a safety harness that is simple and quick clips. Check that the buckles don't have any looseness and ensure that the straps fit around the baby's torso. Choose a model with a larger base since they will be more stable than those with a narrow base.

Avoid overloading your pushchair or pram with items. This can cause it to tip and your baby may fall out. Also, don't put anything in the basket that could fall out and hurt your baby. This includes toys, drinks and food items.

Follow the directions that are provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your stroller or pram. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pushchair, make sure that you dry it thoroughly. This will stop the growth of mould or mildew.

If your pram or pushchair has a removable footmuff it's a good idea to wash it before you use it again in winter. This can be done by taking the fabric off and washing it in cool water using soap and letting it air dry outside. You should also brush off any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts suggest that babies lay flat in a pushchair or pram as early as possible. This will help their development and lower the chance of developing back problems as they grow older.

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

Style

While some parents are after the most efficient set of wheels that they can get their hands on, many want a pushchair or pram that is as stylish as their new bundle of joy. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs that combine high-end engineering with attractive designs that are both attractive and practical.

When selecting a pushchair or pram the first thing to consider is the seat padding. A pushchair that is simple to clean is crucial for children, as they are often messy. This is particularly true in the event that you plan to use your stroller for long walks over rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Choose a stroller with removable seats and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Make sure the fabric is also breathable to help keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to consider is the direction that your baby will be facing in their pushchair. The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' allow you to change the seat between parent facing (facing towards the parent for bonding and reassurance) or world facing so they can explore the world around them. Some pushchairs offer this feature too, but it's not necessary for all models and can be an option that is only available as an extra.

Combination prams are referred to as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families because they can fit an infant bassinet on the same frame. They are designed to be used right from birth, and are suitable for infants up to six-months old.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it permits the attachment of car seats to the frame using adaptors. They are an excellent choice for babies and toddlers until three years old and can be more affordable than buying separate items.

Twin prams or pushchairs are ideal choice for twins or siblings of the same age who require transport in safety and comfort. They come in a variety of styles and are fitted with a double or single car seat.

Stores

Alongside providing security and comfort for your baby, a pram or pushchair should provide ample storage space for all the necessities. Look for models with a spacious shopping basket that can accommodate everything your baby needs, including spare clothes as well as changing gear as well as bottles of water and snacks. Some include a parent or child's compartment, which is ideal for keeping all your personal belongings. If you're looking for a pushchair with more storage, choose a pushchair with different configurations. Extra space is important 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 maneuverability. Opt for swivel wheels to easily navigate narrow passageways and be sure to look for locking brakes that are responsive enough to stop quickly. If you're considering a lightweight model, ensure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions to facilitate storage and transport. If you're looking for something more robust for off-road travel, choose a model with robust, all-terrain wheels that can handle rougher terrains better than pavements.

A pram is a vehicle that provides an easy sleeping position for newborns. A pushchair is better suitable for older infants and toddlers who can stand up on their own. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs by taking out the bassinet, and replacing it with an adult's seat. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to be converted into a carrycot or car seat.

If you are unsure about the type of pushchair or pram to select look up online reviews and ask friends and family members for recommendations. Try out a variety of models before you make your decision. This will provide you with an idea of their weight, their folding capabilities and how they feel. You may also want think about whether a convertible model is the best prams option for you, as these can be used interchangeably between two children and reduce the cost of buying an entirely new set of wheels every time your baby grows older!
