What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

Whether you're looking for a childs pram, pushchair or buggy there are a lot of considerations to make. Think about the amount you're willing to spend, whether you want a compact buggy or something larger and how easy it will be to clean.

Look for models that have the ability to be adjusted to different positions, as well as a newborn carrycot or bassinet. Check if they lie completely flat, as this is crucial for the development of your baby's spine.

Safety

It's important to follow safety guidelines while out with your child in a pram or pushchair. This will ensure that your child is secure and at ease. Make sure you know the stroller's or pushchair's weight limits to prevent overloading as this could damage or cause instability. Avoid putting blankets or pillows in the pram as this can be dangerous for your baby, especially if there is an accident. Don't allow older siblings to climb onto the stroller or pram as it could pose a risk.

It's also a good idea to look for a stroller with extra padding, especially in the area of the headrest. This can help keep your child safe from hitting objects while out and out and about. A parent-facing mode is a great choice as this allows it to be quick and easy to monitor your child and keep them content and at ease.

Some prams and pushchairs come with an attachment for a bassinet that is perfect for infants to lie on their backs the comfort of a cocoon and be comfortable. Some will come with a carrycot that can be removed once your baby is old enough to sit. Some prams also have an infant seat that can be switched between two modes as your baby develops.

Many pushchairs and prams can be folded down to a smaller size when they are not being used. This makes them easier to store in your car boot, or to transport them on public transport. Check how compact they are folded. This can make a big difference when you need to fit them into tight spaces or up and over the stairs.

If you plan to take your stroller or pram into areas with rougher terrain, such as fields or parks, or even on the beach, it's ideal to select an option with off-road wheels. These are better suited for these kinds of terrains. Make sure that the wheels have air in them as they will be able to easily move over rough terrain and will not puncture.

For days with sunshine the parasol that attaches to the frame of the pushchair, or a sunshade will help to keep your baby safe from overheating, and also provide shade. You can purchase these items in a separate purchase or as part an accessory set for your pushchair, with a variety of styles and colours to pick from.

Comfort

A quality pram should be easy to push for you and your baby. A soft cushioned seat liner with adjustable settings that allow your newborn to lay flat or sway slightly (good for reflux sufferers) and a wide sun canopy are all useful. Find a suspension system that can make the ride smoother and a brake system that is quick to stop quickly in an emergency.

It's essential that your pushchair is able to accommodate this position for the first few weeks. Many frames come with an infant carrycot that can convert into a reclining seat when your child is old enough. This lets you have both a stroller and a pram in the same frame.

When choosing a pushchair you'll need to think about your needs, such as how easy it is to maneuver and how much storage space you require. It's worth visiting a store where you can test drive different pushchairs or prams to feel how they behave and how they fold. It's also a good idea to look over any accessories you'd like to purchase for your baby, like a footmuff, seat liner and fans that will help your baby to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.

Lastly, you'll want to think about the overall design of your pushchair - will it suit your lifestyle and personality? You'll be using it for a long time so make sure you pick a print or colour that doesn't get old or leave you regretting your choice.

A lightweight pushchair with puncture-proof tyres, a big bouncy suspension and a hood you can pull down to shield your baby from the elements is our Goldilocks of pushchairs, offering just the right balance of comfort for your child and you. With a stylish and sophisticated brushed twill fabric with faux-leather handles and leatherette trims It has a classic feel, but it also looks modern and fresh. It's also very competitively priced and comes with a range of useful accessories.

Practicality

The terms pram, pushchair buggy, pram and travel system are often used interchangeably but it's important to choose one that is suitable for your needs and fits your lifestyle. You'll find it easier to take public transportation, in your car or at home if you select models that fold up. If you choose a travel system or pram with a separate infant seat, be sure it is able to be easily connected to the chassis without waking up your baby.

Many prams have a large storage basket under the seat to help you keep your shopping, bags and nappies close at hand. They are also usually equipped with swivel wheels which make them easy to manoeuvre and steer in narrow shop aisles, or turn on the spot in busy areas such as beaches and parks. If you intend to use the scooter in the countryside, you might want to choose one with large all-terrain tires that can handle rough terrain and muddy roads.

A pushchair or stroller is lighter than a traditional pram, and the seat can be adjusted in multiple positions. This is ideal for infants who are able to sit up or newborns. A large canopy will protect your toddler or baby from the sun. Some models are also suitable for rain.

Think about how heavy the model is and if you can comfortably lift it out and in of your car's boot or up the stairs to your home (with or without your baby in it!) They will become heavier over time. It might be worth paying a little extra to get a washable cover that makes cleaning up spills or leaks from nappy diapers quick and easy. It's an excellent idea to test drive any pushchair or pram you're considering buying too, to see how they feel and move as well as how easy they fold and carry. You may also want to determine if the handlebars are comfortable to hold.

Cleaning

The quickest method to decrease the chance of mould and mildew is to clean your pushchair on a regular basis. This means cleaning any fabric components as soon as they are dirty and giving them a thorough wash every two weeks or so. Using a deodoriser and/or fabric freshener on a regular basis can also help keep odours at bay and stop the accumulation of grime, which can result in the growth of mould spores as well as an unhygienic living space for your baby.

Before you begin cleaning your pushchair It's an ideal idea to get rid of any toys and to take off any covers or padding that are able to be removed. This will make it easier to clean and access those hard to reach places such as the canopy, hood or support for the seat. Make sure you choose an area with good ventilation to work in and then lay down a sheet or tarp to protect the floor and make cleaning as easy as you can. Make use of a vacuum cleaner that has an nozzle that is flexible to get rid of any food particles or dirt that may have gotten caught in the crevices and nooks.

If your pushchair is equipped with removable fabric sections, check the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and wash them according to the instructions (either by hand or by washing in a machine). In other cases, it is safe to make use of a solution of warm water and gentle soap (or a mild detergent) on the majority of fabrics used in pushchairs. However, it's recommended to check the fabric's colourfastness before using any cleaning products since some chemicals can bleach or damage delicate fabrics.

Stains and marks that are stubborn can be easily removed by adding a small amount of bicarbonate of soda to the wash. This is a powerful stain remover that can eliminate all kinds of odours, such as those caused by urine and milk. It also assists in removing any soap or detergent residues. After you've finished, wash the fabric thoroughly to remove any soap residues and hang it to dry. Do this outside, as sunlight is a natural fabric conditioner and disinfectant.
