What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A pram is likely to be one of the most used items of baby equipment that you purchase so it's important that it is comfortable for your little one. Find models with comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height and a recline function to let you lay your child down. It's also worth checking that the pushchair can be set to be 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" in case your child is getting older and wants to look around and see what's going on around them.

The Graco Near2Me features an interesting feature that allows parents to keep their baby close and maintain eye contact. Jaya, our parent tester has praised this as an excellent choice for infants and newborns.

It is crucial to consider the overall dimensions of a pram when choosing one, since you don't want to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living area. Select a model that can be folded up easily and is compact when folded to ensure it will fit. Find out how easy it is to do this and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true idea of how easy or difficult it is to maneuver fold and store.

A high-quality pram must be able to fold flat when folded, making sure that your baby has a fully supported lie down throughout the first six months, which is vital for their development. Be sure that the pram you're considering can do this and that it can be used with a car seat if needed.

Wheels

The wheels are what propel the pram and provide your child a smooth ride. There are three common wheel types - rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and cons depending on the way you plan to use your stroller.

The most popular type of rubber wheel is the, and they provide excellent grip on all surfaces. They are prone to puncturing using a compressor for car tyres to blow them up too hard. This is not a common issue and is usually caused by who has inflated the wheels too much. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled making them lighter than rubber tyres. They also don't offer the same shock-absorbing capability and may feel harsh on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more common on prams than strollers and are the least expensive option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a polymer material that has some characteristics of rubber and is also lighter. It can be used in lieu of PU or rubber for low maintenance and to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

Having strong reliable brakes on your stroller is an important feature and will safeguard your baby, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs come with brake pedals on the rear chassis. It can be activated either by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes must be easy to use and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel to provide additional stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the chassis of a folding pushchair. It is ideal for newborns and babies between six and six months old. age, as they have to lay flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot in a pram is a fantastic choice for parents who are tight on space or have a small car boot, or who take public transport a lot.

Some prams come with a built-in carrycot that folds into the frame of the pushchair, so you can easily swap between carriage and seat modes. This is a great choice for families with a small car boot or use public transport often. It will save you time and energy. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly rated by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great option for parents on a budget as it's affordable yet looks and feels high-end as well as being robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

If you're looking for a luxurious single to double pushchair car seat that's suitable from birth and can be used with a carrycot or a baby cocoon, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the perfect choice. The pram features a lay-flat carrycot plus fabric sling seats, as well as a baby cooon for the ideal sleeping solution for twins.

Canopy

A pram canopy will protect your child from the elements while providing a comfortable place for them to sleep. It is also great for preventing heat stroke and sunburn by blocking out the harsh sun's rays. Some models offer an open window, or you can unzip a back mesh section to monitor your little snoozer and not disturb them.

In winter, a hood can be an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models include a rain cover that can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured by poppers. Alternatively, you can purchase a separate umbrella which attaches to the pram with magnets and is easy to take down when not in use.

Your pram or pushchair for many years to come, so choosing the right one is an important choice. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout every journey. A good quality pram/pushchair should be able to provide a gentle spine support and keep them from becoming exhausted when they take long rides or long walks.

It's worth noting that prams tend to be more geared towards newborns and babies, as they often include a bassinet or carrycot that allows you to lay them flat, whereas pushchairs are more versatile and can convert to seats as your baby grows older.
