Seat

A pram is likely to be among the most frequently used pieces of baby equipment that you purchase therefore it's essential to ensure it is comfortable for your little one. Look for models with comfy cushioned seats, an adjustable handlebar height and recline function that allows you to get your child asleep.

When you're choosing a stroller you should think about the overall size. You don't want to to worry about it taking up too much space in your home or car. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and is compact when folded to ensure it fits.

A quality pram must be able to lay flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby gets a comfortable and safe sleep during the first six months, which is vital for their development. Check that the pram that you are looking at can do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat if necessary.

Wheels


The wheels of a pushchair are what make it move and what give your child the experience they need. There are three wheel types - rubber, foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons depending on what you intend to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are most common, and they provide excellent grip on all surfaces. The only drawback is that they can be punctured if they are inflated too hard by 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 all-terrain and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are stuffed with foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock absorption capabilities and may feel more harsh on rough concrete surfaces. They are more prevalent on strollers than in prams and are the least expensive option.

EVA, or Ethylene vinyl Acetate, is a material that has some properties of rubber and is lighter. It can be used in place of PU or rubber to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the weight of your pram.

A strong and reliable brake system on your stroller is an important feature and can protect your child, you and pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis. It can be activated by pressing a button or lever on the handlebars or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be simple to use and should lock immediately when you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel to provide added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a simple-to-use portable cot that can be affixed to the chassis of any pushchair. It's ideal for newborns and babies up to six months of age, as they must lay flat to develop their spine and lungs. A carrycot in a pram is an excellent option for parents who are short in space and have a tiny car boot or who use public transport a lot.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you quickly switch between carriage and seat modes. This is a great choice for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to take public transport frequently as it can save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's an excellent choice for new parents who are on a tight budget, since it is affordable, yet is luxurious and looks. It's also durable and lightweight. It's also compact when folded.

A shed is an excellent option if you have the space, as it will shield the pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when it's not being used. This is an excellent option in areas that experience often snow or rain.

A shed is usually built from metal or wood and comes with a door to make it easy to access. It may also come with a lock or other security features. Another popular option is a garage that will protect you from the elements and be close to your vehicle, if that's what you use.

If you do not have a garage, you can put the pram away in the closet of your home. It will be in a safe place and you won't notice it when you enter the home or nursery. However, it could be difficult to access if have guests coming over.

To keep your pushchair clean it's best to keep it clean. prams for newborns will ensure that it looks amazing and free of mildew and stains. Begin by vacuuming the hood with a small attachment or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Next, you can work on any stains using a cloth brush or a gentle sterilising solution. Make sure to dry the fabric on the outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also purchase an item that can help remove staining that is difficult to remove and leave your stroller looking like new again.
