Seat
A pram is likely to be one of the most used items of baby equipment that you purchase so it's crucial to make sure it is comfortable for your little one. Make sure you choose a model with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a reclining function to allow you to 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', when your child is older and wants to see what is happening around them.

When choosing a pram, it's important to consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to to be concerned about it taking up too much space in your home or car. Pick a model that is able to fold easily and compact when folded to ensure it can fit. You can determine whether it is easy or difficult is by reading reviews (like those found on MadeForMums).
A high-quality pram should fold flat, allowing your baby to lay comfortably throughout the first six months of their lives. This is crucial for their development. Be sure that the pram you're considering is able to do this and that it can be used with a car seat in the event that it is required.
Wheels
The wheels are what move the pram, and offer your child a safe ride. There are three wheel types: foam, rubber, and EVA (a more durable plastic type). Each wheel type has its pros and con depending on how you plan to use your stroller.
Rubber wheels are the most commonly used and provide great grip on all surfaces. The only down side is that they can be punctured if inflated too quickly using the pump of a car tyre. However it is usually caused by someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common issue. This wheel type is often used on buggies that run all-terrain.
PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam making them lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock-absorbing capabilities and may feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more commonly found on strollers than in prams and are the least expensive option.
EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is lighter and has some characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace PU or rubber in your pram due to its low maintenance and weight reduction.
The presence of reliable and strong brakes on your pram is a crucial feature that will protect your baby, you and other pedestrians. The majority of pushchairs have brake pedals on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or a button on the handlebars, or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs have a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.
Carrycot
The carrycot is a light portable cot that connects to the frame of a pushchair. It is ideal for infants and babies up to six months of age, as they must lay flat in order to develop their spine and lung capacity. A pram with a carrycot is a great option for parents who are limited on space and have a tiny car boot, or who take public transport often.
Some prams have an inbuilt carrycot that folds into the frame of the pushchair so it is easy to switch between seat and carriage mode. This is a great option for families with a small car boot or who need to use public transport often since it will save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 has been highly evaluated by MFM home testers and won Gold in our previous MadeForMums Awards. It's also a great option for parents who are who are on a tight budget, as it's not expensive, but has a premium look and feel, as well as being strong, light and compact when folded.

Canopy
A canopy for prams will shield your child from the elements and provide an ideal place to rest. It can also prevent heat stroke and sunburns by blocking the harsh rays from the sun. Some models come with an open or mesh back section that you can detach to monitor the snoozer's tiny eyes.
A hood is especially useful in winter, allowing you to shield your baby's sensitive skin from cold winds and rain. Some models come with a rain cover which can easily be popped over the pram's canopy, and secured with poppers. You can also buy a separate umbrella that attaches via magnets to the pram, and is easy to fold away when not in usage.

It's also a good option when you reside in a region that has frequent snow or rain.
A shed is made of metal or wood, and it is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It can also include the security of a lock as well as other features. Another option that is popular is a garage that will shield you from the elements and will be close to your vehicle if that's what you want to use it for.
