What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can seem confusing. Prams have a flat seat that is specifically designed to be used by newborns and infants.

Some prams include the option of a carrycot or bassinet for infants. Some can be converted to a pushchair when the baby is older.

If you plan on using public transport or fold your pushchair frequently, opt for a lightweight and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Alongside nappies and bottles, your pushchair is likely to be among the most frequently used baby products you have. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that your child is safe on every outing by choosing a model that has plenty of padding and an upholstered seat that can be adjusted to height.

It's worth noting that a lot of prams or buggies are equipped with a pram blanket that can help to keep your child warm. These can be easily popped into the wash and are available in a range of designs and colours to suit your preference.

A pram is specifically designed for infants up to about six months old, when they're still at the stage where they need to lie flat, typically with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Most prams have a choice of facing your child's parents or the world facing', so you can choose whether to have your baby face you to bond or allow them to explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams convert into pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 – a deluxe single-to-double pushchair that can be used as early as birth with a carrycot up to 25kg (15kg with elevators).

The most important thing to keep in mind is that infants and toddlers shouldn't be using any pushchair that does not recline completely to a flat position. This is because travelling in a position that is prone to slumber can affect their breathing, because it causes them to inhale more air than normal and could cause respiratory problems in the longer time.

A pushchair is a chair that folds into a compact size. It's designed for older babies and toddlers. These are often constructed from a more durable material than prams. You can also find models that allow you to alter the direction in which the seat is facing to allow your child to face you for reassurance, or away from you to explore the world.

Safety

It is essential to ensure that your child is safe in a pushchair or pram. You should only ever put your child in a pushchair or pram that is designed to fit their age and size. This will make them feel secure and safe and prevent accidents. When buying a second-hand cheap stroller or pushchair it is essential to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure it's in good condition, and not damaged in a way that could cause harm to your baby.

When you are choosing the right pram or pushchair, look for one equipped with a safety harness that has easy and quick clips and connections. Check that the buckles aren't loose and that the straps fit snugly around your child's waist. Find models that have a larger base as they will be more stable than those with a smaller base.

Avoid overloading your pram or pushchair with toys. This can cause it to tip and your baby could fall out. Be careful not to put anything that could harm your baby inside the basket, such as drinks, snacks, or toys.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to clean your pram or pushchair. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pram, be sure you dry it outside thoroughly. This will prevent mildew or mould from developing.

It's a great idea to wash the removable footmuff of your pushchair or pram set prior to when you can use it again in winter. This can be done by taking the fabric off and washing it in cool water with soap, and then letting it air dry outside. It's also an excellent idea to scrub any dirt or mud off of the wheels and axles.

Experts recommend that infants lie down as soon as possible in a pushchair or pram. This will aid in their development and help reduce back problems later in life.

Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, manufacturers and retailers are required to supply products that will be safe for normal or predictable use. This is applicable to new prams and pushchairs as well as second-hand ones.

Style

While some parents are seeking the most practical set of wheels they can get their hands on, many want an infant stroller or pushchair that's as stylish as their brand new child's toy. There are plenty of prams and pushchairs that are high-quality on the market that combine high-end engineering with stylish designs that are as eye-catching as they are practical.

When selecting the right pushchair or pram, the first thing you should consider is the seat padding. Babies can be messy creatures and having a pram that is easy to clean is important. This is especially true in the event that you plan to take long walks on rough terrain or over dirt, gravel and cobbles. Search for a pushchair that has removable seat covers and recline mechanism that can be washed in the machine. Check that the fabric is machine washable to keep your baby comfortable and dry.

You should also consider the direction your baby will be facing in their pushchair. The majority of pushchairs that are 'from birth' allow you to change the seat to face either parent (facing the parent facing pram to reassure and bond) or to the world, so that they can explore the world. Some prams also have this option, however it's not a requirement for all models.

Combination prams, also known as 3-in-1 prams, are a very popular choice for families as they can fit the bassinet basket as well as an infant seat on the same frame. They are often designed to be used from birth and are suitable for newborns up to six months.

A travel system is a similar alternative to a combination pram, as it permits the fitting of a car seat onto the frame too, usually with adaptors. These are great options for babies and toddlers from 3 years old and can be cheaper than purchasing separate items.

Twin prams and pushchairs are the ideal option for twins or siblings who want to travel in safety and comfort. They come in a variety of styles and are able to be fitted with one car seat or a double one.

Storage

A pram or pushchair should not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but offer ample storage for all the necessities. Find models with a large basket to contain all your baby's supplies including 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 perfect to keep your personal belongings. If you're looking for a stroller with more storage, choose a pushchair with different configurations. Extra space is crucial if you plan to take your child for long walks or excursions away from home and require an area to store anything you might require.

Maneuvrability is another important feature to take into consideration. Select swivel wheels to get around narrow spaces easily. Also look for locking brakes with a responsive stopping power. If you're thinking of a light model, make sure it has the proper dimensions for suspension and folding for easy transport and storage. If you're looking for something that's more robust for off-roading, pick a model with tough all-terrain tires that can be able to handle the rougher terrain.

The primary distinction between a pram and pushchair is that a pram provides a lie-flat sleeping position for newborns, while a pushchair is more suited to older babies and toddlers who are able to sit 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 can be converted into a carrycot or car seat.

If you're unsure of which type of pushchair or pram to pick look up online reviews and ask friends and family for recommendations. Try out several models before making a final decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, their fold and how they feel. Consider a convertible vehicle, which is suitable for one or two kids. This will save you money by not having to buy a new set of wheels each time your child grows.
