What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can seem confusing. Prams are made to carry newborns and young babies with a lying-flat seat.

Some prams come with an infant bassinet or carrycot that is suitable for newborns. Some can be converted to a pushchair when the baby is older.

If you're planning to travel by public transport or fold your pushchair often opt for a lightweight and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Alongside bottles and nappies, your pushchair will be one of the most used baby products you own. It is crucial to choose a model that has plenty of padding as well as a comfortable seat that can be adjusted to the height.

It's also worth noting that many prams or buggies are equipped with a pram sale blanket that can help to keep your child warm. They are easy to clean and come in a range of colors and designs.

A pram is designed for infants up to about six months old, while they're still at the stage where they need to lie flat, typically with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Most prams will offer the option of 'parent facing' and 'world facing', which means you can choose to have your baby's face facing you for bonding or to let them explore the sights and sounds around them. Some prams can be converted to pushchairs, such as the iCandy Peach 7 - a premium single-to-double pushchair that is suitable from birth (with carrycot) and up to 25kg (15kg on elevators).

The most important thing to be aware of is that babies who are very young shouldn't be using any pushchair that doesn't recline to a completely flat position. This is due to the fact that being in a position that is prone to slumber can impact their breathing as it causes them to inhale more air than normal and could cause respiratory issues in the long term.

A pushchair is a chair on wheels that folds typically to a compact size, and is generally designed towards older babies and toddlers until around three years old. These are often constructed of a stronger material than prams. There are also models that allow you to alter the direction in which the seat is facing to allow your child to look at you for comfort, or away from you to explore the world.

Safety

It is essential to ensure your child is safe in a pram or pram. Make sure that you put your baby in a pushchair or pram that is designed for his age and size. This will make them feel secure and safe, and will prevent accidents. When buying a second-hand pushchair or foldable stroller, it is important to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure that the item is in good working order and isn't damaged in any way that could be dangerous for your child.

When you are choosing the right pram or pushchair pick one that comes with an safety harness with simple and fast clips. Make sure that the buckles do not have any looseness and ensure that the straps fit around the baby's torso. Choose a model with a larger base since they are more stable than those with a narrow base.

Avoid overloading your pushchair or pram with things. This can cause it to tip and your baby may fall out. Be careful not to put anything that could harm your baby inside the basket, such as drinks, snacks, and toys.

Follow the guidelines that are provided by the manufacturer when cleaning your stroller or pram. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pram, be sure that you dry it thoroughly. This will prevent the growth of mould or mildew.

If your pram or pushchair has a removable footmuff, it's a good idea to wash it before you use it again in winter. This can be done by removing the fabric and washing it in cold water with soap and letting it air dry outside. It's also a good prams idea to brush any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts advise that infants lay flat as soon as they can in a pushchair or pram. This will aid their development and reduce back problems later on in life.

Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, both retailers and manufacturers are required to supply products that are safe for normal or reasonably predictable use. This is applicable to new prams and pushchairs as well as second-hand ones.

Style

Parents may want the most functional set-up of wheels they can get however, many parents require a stroller that is as fashionable as their baby. There are plenty of high-end prams and pushchairs available that blend high-end engineering with fetching designs that are as attractive as they are practical.

When you are choosing a pram or pushchair the first thing you should think about is the seat padding. A pushchair that is simple to clean is crucial for babies, who are often messy. This is especially true in the event that you plan to use your pushchair sale for long walks in rough terrain or over gravel, dirt and cobbles. Choose a stroller with removable seats and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable to help keep your baby comfortable and dry.

Another thing to think about is the direction that your baby will face in their pushchair. Most 'from-birth' pushchairs allow you to change the seat to face either parent (facing the parent to calm and bond) or even world facing to let your child explore the world. Some pushchairs offer this feature too however it's not a necessity for all models and can be an optional feature.

Combination prams, also referred to as 3-in-1 prams, are a very popular choice for families as they can fit both an infant basket and a pushchair seat on the same frame. They are typically designed for use from birth and are suitable for babies up to six months.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows you to attach car seats to the frame using adaptors. They are an excellent choice for toddlers and babies from 3 years old and can be more cost effective than buying separate items.

Twin prams or pushchairs are ideal choice for twins or siblings of the same age who need to be transported in comfort and safety. They are available in a variety of styles and can be fitted with a single or double car seat.

Storage

In addition to providing comfort and safety for your little one the pram sets or pushchair needs to offer plenty of storage for all the essentials. Look for models with an ample shopping basket that can store all your baby supplies including spare clothing and changing equipment, bottles of water and snacks. Some models have a compartment for the parent or child, which is perfect to store your personal items. If you're looking for a pushchair with more storage space consider a convertible model that has different configurations. Having extra space is especially important if you're planning to take your baby on long walks or trips away from home and require a place to store everything you might need.

Another important aspect to consider is maneuverability. Opt for swivel wheels to easily navigate narrow passageways, and look out for brakes with locking that are responsive enough to stop quickly. If you're thinking of a light model, make sure it has the proper dimensions for folding and suspension to allow for easy storage and transport. Alternatively, if you want something more robust for off-roading, pick one with sturdy all-terrain wheels able to cope with rougher surfaces than pavements.

The main difference between a pram and pushchair is that a pushchair offers the option of a lying-flat sleep position for newborns, while pushing chairs are more suited to older babies and toddlers who can sit up on their own. Some prams are convertible into pushchairs by removing the bassinet, and replacing it with a seat for an adult. Other models like the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle are able to transform into a carrycot or car seat.

If you are unsure about which type of pushchair or pram to pick, read online reviews and ask friends and family for recommendations. Try out several models before making a final decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, their folding capabilities and how they feel. You might also want to consider whether a convertible model is the right option for you, because they can be used interchangeably between one or two children and save money on buying an entirely new set of wheels each time your little one grows up!
