What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish pram that is stylish and practical. It's simple to put together and can be converted into a double and has a big storage basket.

A brilliant travel system that makes it simple to be 'future-proof' by incorporating an appropriate car seat and carrycot. It can be folded neatly and easily with just one hand, and can be reassembled when folded.

Seat

It's likely that your baby will use the pram often, so it is important to ensure it's comfortable. Look for models with comfy cushioned seats, an adjustable handlebar height and a recline function to let you get your child asleep. It is also important to ensure 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 see what is happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me has an innovative feature that lets parents keep their baby close and maintain eye contact. This is a great option for newborns and babies and was praised by our parent tester Jaya as a great method to make your child feel special and loved.

When you're choosing a triple stroller, it's important to consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to be concerned about it taking up too much space in your home or vehicle. Pick a model that is able to be folded easily and compact when folded to ensure it will fit. Consider how easy to fold it and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) to get a true impression of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre fold, store and store.

A good quality pram should 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 crucial for their development. Make sure the pram you are thinking about buying is able to do this, and that it is compatible with a car seat if necessary.

Wheels

The wheels are what move the pram and provide your child a comfortable ride. There are 3 common wheel types - rubber foam, and EVA (harder plastic type). Each type has pros and cons, based on the purpose you intend to use your pushchair.

The most popular type of rubber wheel is the and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a compressor for car tyres to over inflate them. However it is usually due to someone over inflating them and isn't a regular issue. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies and running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled making them lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock-absorbing ability and can feel more abrasive on rough concrete surfaces. They are more commonly found on prams and strollers than on strollers and are the least expensive option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic that is lightweight and has some characteristics of rubber, but not as much. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

A strong and reliable brake system on your pram is a must and will safeguard you, your baby and pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals that are located on the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down with your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that can be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old, as they must lie flat and be able to breathe, which is crucial for their spinal and lung development. A pram with a carrycot is a fantastic choice for parents who are short in space, have a small car boot, or who take public transport often.

Some best prams come with a built-in carrying cot that folds into the frame. This allows you to easily switch between the carriage and seat modes. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or those who have to use public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is a good example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, as well as winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a good choice for new parents who are on a tight budget, as it's reasonably priced, yet has a premium look and feel as well as being robust, lightweight and compact when folded.

If you're looking for a luxury single to double pram pushchair that's suitable for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot, the Mountain Buggy twin stroller Plus is the perfect choice. This gorgeous pram comes with a lay flat carrycot plus, a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is secure and comfortable for twins.

It's also a nippy easy-rider, with a light steering which is perfect for urban environments and allows you to easily negotiate busy roads and pavements while traveling. It's also extremely easy to use and comes with a wide range of accessories, including rain cover, a footmuff and the hood.

Canopy

A canopy for your pram will protect your child from the elements and provide a comfortable place for them to sleep. It's also great for preventing sunburn and heat stroke by blocking the harsh sun's rays. Some models come with a peekaboo or mesh back section that you can unzip to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood is an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover which can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached by magnets to the pram, and is easy to fold away when not in usage.

Your pushchair or pram for many years to come, so selecting the most suitable one is a crucial decision. As your baby grows and develops, you'll want to make sure they are safe and comfortable throughout every trip. A high-quality pram or pushchair should be able to help your baby's spine stay in a comfortable position and prevent them from becoming tired when they take long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more targeted towards infants and newborns, as they often come with a bassinet, or carrycot that lets you lay them flat, while pushchairs are more versatile and can convert to a seat as your baby grows older.

Stores

There are a number of options for storage for prams based on your budget and the space available. A shed is a good option if you have the space, as it will shield the pram from damage caused by weather and keep it away from the path when it's not being used. It's also a great option for those who reside in a region that has frequent snow or rain.

A shed is constructed from wood or metal and is equipped with doors that allow to make it easy to access. It may also come with locks or other security features. Garages are a popular option, since it can provide protection from the elements while being close to your car, if you're using that for transport.

If you don't have a garage or shed, you can store your pram in a closet within your home. It will be kept out of sight, so you don't have to see it when you enter your house or the nursery. It could be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.

You'll have to clean your pushchair if wish to keep it in good condition. This will ensure it is clean and free of mildew and stains. Start 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 fabric brush or a gentle sterilising solution. Make sure to dry your fabric outside to stop mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy a cleaner to remove stubborn stains, making your pushchair look like new.
