What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

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

Some prams include an infant bassinet or carrycot that is suitable for infants. Some even offer the option of converting to an infant pushchair.

If you plan on using public transportation or have to fold your pushchair frequently pick a light and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to get used more than your nappies and bottles. It's therefore crucial to ensure your child is comfortable on every outing by choosing a model with plenty of padding and a comfortable seat that can be adjusted for height.

Many buggies, prams, and pushchairs come with a blanket to keep your child warm. They can be popped into the washing machine and are available in a range of colors and designs to match your preferences.

A pram for newborn is specifically designed for infants up to approximately six months old when they're still at a stage where they need to lie flat, typically with a bassinet or carrycot attached to the frame. Most prams offer the option of 'parent ' or 'world-facing. This allows the user to decide whether they prefer your child to face you to connect with you, or to explore the sights and sounds of their environment. Some prams for sale are convertible into pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a luxurious single-to-double pushchair that can be used as early as birth with the carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg using elevators).

It is important to remember that babies under six months old shouldn't be carried in a stroller that doesn't recline fully flat. When they are in a crouching posture, it can affect their breathing as they breathe in more air than they would normally. This could lead to respiratory issues in the future.

A pushchair is a chair on wheels that folds, typically, to a small size, and is generally designed toward toddlers and older infants until around three years old. They're typically made of an extra durable material than a pram and you can typically find models that let you switch the direction of the seat so that your child can face you for reassurance or away from you so that they can explore the world around them.

Safety

The safety of your child in a pram or pushchair is vital. Only ever place your child in a pushchair or pram that is made to his size and age. This will make them feel safe and secure, and also prevent accidents. When purchasing a second-hand stroller or pushchair, it is important to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure that it's in good condition, and not damaged in a way that could cause harm to your child.

If you're looking for a pram or pushchair choose one with a safety harness that includes quick and simple clips and connections. Verify that the buckles do not have any looseness and that the straps are snug around your baby's torso. Find models that have a larger base as they will be more stable than those with a smaller base.

Avoid overloadeding your pushchair or pram with toys. This could cause it to tip and your baby could be thrown out. Don't put anything that could harm your baby in the basket, including drinks, snacks, or toys.

Follow the instructions that are provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your pram or stroller. Whether you're washing the fabric or cleaning the hood, be sure to dry it thoroughly outside to prevent mildew or mould forming.

If your pushchair or pram features a footmuff that is removable, it's a good idea wash it prior to using it again in winter. This can be accomplished by taking the fabric off and washing it in cool water with soap and letting it dry outside. It's also a good idea to brush any dirt or mud off of the wheels and axles.

Experts suggest that infants lay flat as soon as they can in a pram or pushchair. This will help their development and help reduce back problems later on in life.

Retailers and manufacturers are required to fulfill obligations under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to provide products that are safe for regular or reasonably foreseeable usage. This applies to new and second-hand prams and strollers.

Style

While some parents are seeking the most functional set of wheels that they can find, many want a pram or pushchair that is as stylish as their brand new bundle of joy. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs available that combine high-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both eye-catching and practical.

When choosing a pushchair or pram, the first thing to think about is the seat padding. A pushchair that is easy to clean will be important for infants, who are often messy. This is especially important if you plan to take long walks through rough terrain or over dirt, gravel and cobbles. Choose a stroller travel with removable seat covers and recline mechanisms which can be washed in the machine. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable to help keep your baby comfortable and dry.

You should also think about the direction your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from-birth' pushchairs let you switch the seat to face either parent (facing the parent to calm and bond) or even world facing to let your child 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, also known as 3-in-1 prams, are an increasingly popular option for families since they can fit an infant basket and a pushchair seat on the same frame. They are designed to be used from birth, and are suitable for babies up to six-months old.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows you to attach a car seat to the frame using adaptors. These are a great option for babies and toddlers from 3 years old and can be more affordable than buying separate items.

Twin prams or pushchairs car seats are excellent option for twins or siblings of the same age who need to be transported in a safe and comfortable manner. They come in a variety of styles and are able to be fitted either with a single car seat or a double one.

Stores

A pushchair or pram must not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but also have ample storage space for all of the essentials. Look for models with an ample shopping basket that can contain all your baby's supplies, such as spare clothes as well as changing equipment, bottles of water and snacks. Some models include a separate compartment for the child or parent which is ideal to keep your personal belongings. If you're looking for a pram with more storage space choose a convertible pushchair that comes with different configurations. The extra space is crucial particularly if you intend to take your child for long walks or away from home.

Maneuvrability is a further aspect to think about. Choose swivels wheels to navigate through narrow passageways with ease. Also, look for locking brakes that have a receptive stopping power. If you're considering an ultra-lightweight model, make sure it has the right suspension system and foldable dimensions for easy storage and transport. Alternatively, if you want something that is more durable for off-roading, pick a model with robust, all-terrain wheels that can be able to withstand rougher terrain than pavements.

A pram is a vehicle that provides a flat sleeping position for infants. A pushchair is best designed for older babies and toddlers who can sit independently. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs, by removing the bassinet, and replacing it with an adult's seat. Other models, like the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to transform into a carrycot or car seat.

If you are unsure about the type of pushchair or pram to pick check out online reviews and ask your friends and family for suggestions. If you are able, test-drive several models before making your choice to get an idea of how they feel, 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 children and reduce the cost of buying an entirely new set wheels each time your child grows older!
