What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

Whether you're looking for a pram, pushchair or buggy there are a lot of factors to consider. Think about how much you can afford to spend, whether you'd prefer an e-bike that is compact or more spacious and how easy to clean it.

Look for models that have the ability to adjust to multiple positions and bassinets or a baby carrycot. Make sure they are flat as this is vital for the spine development of your baby.

Safety

If you're out and about with your baby in a running pram or pushchair it is important to adhere to safety guidelines so that your little one is comfortable and safe. Check the pushchair or stroller's weight limits for carriages to avoid overloading as this could create instability or damage. Avoid placing pillows or blankets in the pram because they could pose a risk for your baby especially if there is an accident. Also, don't allow older children to use the double stroller or double pram pushchair as it could pose a risk.

It's also an excellent idea to search for a pushchair with additional padding, particularly in the area of the headrest, since this can keep your child safe from crashing into objects when out and around. A parent-facing mode is also a good option since it makes it easy and quick for you to check on your child and ensure that they are at ease and happy.

Some pushchairs and prams have the bassinet attachment, which is perfect for infants to lay flat on the comfort of a cocoon and be comfortable. Some prams and pushchairs travel systems come with a carrycot which can be removed when your baby is able to sit. Some prams will also offer an infant seat that can be changed between the two modes as your child grows.

Many pushchairs and prams can fold down into small dimensions when they are not in use, making them easy to store and transport in your car's boot or on public transport. It is important to determine the size of the pushchairs when folded. This could be a big difference when you need to squeeze them into small spaces or climb up and down stairs.

If you're planning to take your pushchair or pram into rougher terrain such as fields, parks, or even on beaches, it is a good idea to choose an off-road model since they are more suitable for these types of environments. Make sure the wheels are filled with air as this will make them easier to move over rougher ground and will not easily puncture.

A sunshade or parasol that can be attached directly to the frame of your pushchair will provide shade and guard your child from overheating on hot days. You can purchase these items either separately or as part of the pushchair accessories set with a variety of styles and colours to choose from.

Comfort

A good double pram and pushchair or pushchair is one that is comfortable for your baby and you to push. Soft padded seats and adjustable settings that permit your baby to lie flat on their back or raise their legs slightly to ease reflux, and a large sun canopy are all beneficial. Look for a suspension that smooths the ride and a brake system that is responsive to stop quickly if you need to.

Newborns require a flat, fully lying position to support their growing spines It's crucial to make sure your pushchair can do this for the first few months. Many frames include the newborn carrycot, which can be converted into a reclining seat when your child is old enough. This lets you combine a stroller and pram within the same frame.

When you're choosing a pram, you'll need to consider your needs, such as how it's maneuverable and how much storage space you require. It's worth visiting a store that lets you test drive different pushchairs or prams to test how they feel and how they fold. It's also an excellent idea to look over any accessories you'd like, such as a footmuff, seat liner and fans that can help your baby stay cool in summer or warm in winter.

In the end, you'll need to think about the overall design of your stroller - does it suit your lifestyle and personality? You'll be using it for a long time and so you should pick an image or color that doesn't get old or leave you regretting your choice.

Practicality

The terms pushchair, pram buggy, travel system and pram are frequently used but it's important to select one that is suitable for your needs and your lifestyle. You'll be able to transport on public transport, in your car or at home if you select models that fold up. If you decide to buy an infant stroller or a travel system with a separate baby seat, ensure that it snaps on easily to the chassis and is able to be removed without waking your baby (especially in the case of sleep).

Many prams come with a spacious storage basket underneath that will keep your bags, shopping and nappies at hand. They also typically have swivel wheels which make them easy to manoeuvre and maneuver through narrow store aisles, or to turn on the spot in busy areas such as beaches and parks. If you intend to use it in the countryside then you may want to consider a model with large all-terrain tyres which can cope with muddy walks and rough terrain.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a pram and offers the convenience of a seat that can be adjusted to multiple positions which is ideal for newborns and babies who can sit up. They typically come with a huge canopy that provides your toddler or baby protection from the sun and some models may also be suitable for use in rainy weather.

Consider how the model weighs and whether you are able to lift it out and in of your car boot or up the steps to your home (with or without your baby inside!) - especially as they will become heavier with time. It could be worth spending an extra amount to get a washable cover that makes cleaning up spillages or leaks from nappy diapers quick and simple. It's a good idea to test any prams or pushchairs you're contemplating buying, to be able to observe how they feel and behave and also how they fold and carry. You might also want to determine if the handlebars are comfortable to hold.

Cleaning

The quickest way to reduce the risk of mildew and mould is to clean your pushchair regularly. It is important to wipe down every component of your fabric as soon they get dirty and give them an extensive wash every two weeks. Regularly using a fabric freshener or deodoriser will help eliminate odours and prevent the accumulation of dirt that could lead to mould spores.

It's a good idea to remove any covers or padding prior to cleaning your pushchair. This will allow you to clean the difficult-to-reach places, such as the hood or canopy. Choose a place that is well ventilated and lay down a sheet to protect your floor. This will make cleaning simpler. Use a vacuum with a flexible nozzle to remove any food or dirt that may have gotten caught in the nooks and crevices.

If your pushchair comes with fabric parts that can be removed, read the instructions of the manufacturer for cleaning and wash them according to the instructions (either by hand or in the washing machine). Otherwise, it is generally safe to make use of a solution of warm water and gentle soap (or mild detergent) on all fabrics used in prams. However, it's recommended to test the fabric for the durability of its colour before using any cleaning products since certain chemicals may bleach or damage delicate fabrics.

Add a small amount to the wash to eliminate stubborn stains and marks. This is a powerful stain remover which can lift various types of odours, including ones caused by urine or milk. It will also help remove any residues of detergent or soap. After washing, rinse the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. Do this outside, since sunlight is a natural fabric conditioner and disinfectant.
