It is crucial to consider the overall size of a pram before you choose one, as you don't want to take up too much space in your car trunk or your living space.

Wheels

The wheels are what move the pram and give your child a safe ride. There are three wheel types - rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has its pros and cons based on what you plan to use your pushchair.

Rubber wheels are most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. The only downside is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too much with an auto tyre pump. This is not a common problem, and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheels. This type of wheel is commonly used on buggies that run all-terrain.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, which makes them lighter than rubber tires. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and can sometimes feel more hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on prams than strollers, and are the cheapest option.

It's ideal for newborns and babies from 6 months to 6 years of age, as they have to lie flat to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot-style pram is a fantastic choice for parents who are limited on space, have a small car boot or use public transport a lot.
