What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting a buggy, pushchair, or pram. Think about the amount you're able to spend, whether you want a compact buggy or something more spacious and how easy to clean it.

Look for models that have the ability to adjust to multiple positions and the bassinet or carrycot for newborns. Check that they are completely flat because this is essential for the development of the spine of your baby.

Safety

When you are out and about with your baby in a pushchair or pram it is important to adhere to safety guidelines so that your little one is comfortable and secure. Check the pushchair or stroller's carriage weight limits to avoid overloaded vehicles as it could cause create instability or damage. Avoid placing blankets or pillows in the pram as this could be hazardous for your child, particularly when they suffer an accident. Don't allow older children to climb on the pram or stroller as this is a potential hazard.

Look for a pushchair that is cushioned especially in the headrest area to safeguard your child from bumping into objects while out and about. It's also an ideal idea to pick an infant stroller with padded headrests, as they will shield your child from bumping into things while out and out and about.

Some pushchairs and prams come with a bassinet attachment that is ideal for newborns to lay flat on, cocooned and comfortable. Some pushchairs and prams have a carrycot that can be removed once your baby is able to sit up. Some prams also come with a seat unit which can be switched between two modes as your baby grows.

Many prams and pushchairs can be folded down to a small size when they are not in use. This makes them much easier to keep in your car boot, or even transport on public transport. Be sure to check how compact they are folded. This can make a big difference when you need to squeeze them into tight spaces or up and over stairs.

If you plan to take your pram or stroller into areas with rougher terrain, such as fields or parks or even at the beach, it's recommended to select an option with off-road wheels. These are better suited for these kinds of terrains. Make sure the wheels are air-filled as this will allow them to travel over rough terrain and will not break easily.

A sunshade or parasol that can be attached directly to the frame of your pushchair will shade and guard your child against overheating on sunny days. They can be bought separately or as a set of accessories for your pushchair. There are a variety of designs and colors available.

Comfort

A great pram should be comfortable to push for both you and your baby. A comfortable, cushioned seat liner, adjustable settings that allow your baby to lie flat or sit up slightly (good for those with reflux) and a large sun canopy are all helpful. Look for suspension that allows for a smooth ride and a receptive brake system to allow you to stop quickly if you need to.

Newborns require a fully lie-flat position to aid in their growing spine It's crucial to ensure your pushchair is able to support this for the first few months. Many frames come with an infant carrycot that can convert into a reclining seat when your child is old enough. This allows you to combine a stroller and pram in the same frame.

You'll also need to consider your requirements when selecting a pushchair like whether it's simple to maneuver and what type of storage space you need. It is recommended to visit a store where you can try out different pushchairs and prams to see how the feel and fold. You should also check out any accessories you might need, such as a seat liner or footmuff, to keep your baby cool in summer and warm in the winter.

You should also consider the overall design of your stroller. Does it match your personality and lifestyle. You'll use it for several years and so you should pick a print or colour that won't fade too quickly or leave you regretting your choice.
