What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of push chairs and prams can seem confusing. Prams come with a flat seat that is specifically designed to carry infants and babies.

Some prams include the option of a carrycot or bassinet for newborns. Some models even have the option of changing it into an infant pushchair.

If you are planning to use public transport or need to fold up your pushchair regularly pick a light and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Your pushchair is likely to be utilized more often than your bottles and nappies. It is important to choose one that is full of padding as well as a comfortable seat that can be adjusted to height.

Many buggies, prams, and pushchairs have a blanket to keep your child warm. These blankets are simple to wash and come in a range of colours and designs.

A pram is specifically designed for newborn babies up to about six months old, while they're still at a stage in which they have to lie flat, often with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. Many prams allow the choice of 'parent facing or 'world-facing.' This allows the user to decide whether they want your baby to face you in order to bond with you, or explore the sights and sounds of their surroundings. Some prams are able to be converted into a pushchair, such as the iCandy Peach 7 - a deluxe single to double pushchair twin 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 is not able to recline to a fully flat position. This is because being in a position that is prone to slumber could affect their breathing as it causes them to inhale more air than normal and could lead to respiratory issues in the long term.

A pushchair is a vehicle with wheels that folds typically, to a small size. It's usually geared towards toddlers and older babies up to the age of approximately three years old. They're typically made of an extra durable material than a pram, and you can typically find models that allow you to alter the direction of the seat so that your child can either face towards you to feel safe or away from you so they can explore the world around them.

Safety

The safety of your child in a pram or pushchair is essential. You should never put your child in a pram or pushchair specifically designed for their size and age. This will ensure that they feel safe and secure and will help prevent accidents. When buying a second-hand pushchair or stroller, it is important to perform visual safety checks. This will ensure that the item is in good working order and isn't damaged in any way that could pose danger for your child.

When you are choosing the right pram or pushchair make sure you choose one with a safety harness with simple and fast clips. Make sure the buckles aren't loose and that the straps fit comfortably around your child's waist. Also, look for a wide base, as this will provide greater stability than models that have narrow bases.

Be careful not to overload your pram or pushchair with things. This can cause it to tip and your baby could be thrown out. Don't place anything in the storage basket that could fall out and hurt your baby. This includes drinks, toys and food items.

Follow the guidelines given by the manufacturer when cleaning your pram or stroller. If you are cleaning the fabric or the hood of your pushchair, make sure to dry it outside thoroughly. This will prevent mould or mildew from forming.

It's a good idea to clean the removable footmuff that comes with your pushchair or pram prior to when you can use it again in winter. It's as simple as taking the fabric off and washing it in cool soapy water, then leaving it to air dry outdoors. It's also recommended to scrub any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

Experts advise that babies sit flat in a stroller or pram as soon as possible. This will help their development and lessen back problems later in life.

Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, both retailers and manufacturers are required to provide products that are safe for normal or reliable use. This applies to both new and second-hand prams and strollers.

Style

Some parents are looking for the most efficient set-up of wheels they can find however, many parents need a pram that is as stylish as their child. There are numerous high-end prams and pushchairs available that combine high-quality engineering with attractive designs that are both eye-catching and practical.

The first thing to consider when choosing a pushchair or pram is the padding and adjustable options. A pushchair that is easy to clean is essential for children, as they are often messy. This is particularly true when you plan to take your stroller on long walks over rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Search for a pushchair that comes with removable seat covers and a recline mechanisms that can be machine-washed. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable, which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable.

Another thing to think about is the direction that your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most pushchairs "from birth" allow you to change the seat from parent facing (facing towards the parent to provide reassurance and bonding) or facing the world so that they can explore the world around them. Some models have this option also but it's not necessary for all models and may only be an optional extra.

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

A travel system is similar to a cheap stroller combination in that it allows you to attach a car seat to the frame, using adaptors. They are an excellent choice for toddlers and babies from 3 in one pushchair years old and are cheaper than purchasing separate products.

Twin prams and pushchairs can be the ideal option for siblings or twins who want to travel in the comfort and safety of. They are available in a variety of styles and are able to be fitted with one car seat or a double.

Storage

A pushchair or pram must not only be secure and comfortable for your child, but should also have ample storage space for all the essentials. Find models with a spacious shopping basket that can accommodate everything your baby needs including spare clothing and changing equipment as well as bottles of water and snacks. Some models also have a child's or parent's area which is ideal for storing all of your personal items. If you're looking for a pushchair that has more storage, choose a pushchair with multiple configurations. Having extra space is especially important if you're planning to take your child on long walks or excursions away from home and need an area to store anything you might require.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is maneuverability. Opt for swivel wheel options to make it easy to navigate narrow passageways and be sure to look for brakes with locking that are able to stop quickly. If you are looking at an ultra-lightweight model, make sure it comes with the correct suspension system and foldable dimensions for simple storage and transport. If you're looking to buy something more robust for off-road use, choose a model that has robust all-terrain tires that can be able to handle the rougher terrain.

The primary difference between a pram and pushchair is that a pushchair offers an easy, flat sleeping position for infants, while a pushchair is more designed for older children and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own. Some prams can be transformed to a pushchair by taking out the bassinet and replacing it with a seat, while other models such as the Bababing Raffi complete bundle are all-in-one prams that be converted into the car seat or carrycot.

Whatever type of pushchair or pram you choose, be sure to read reviews on the internet and ask for recommendations from your family and friends. If possible, test-drive a few models prior to making your choice to get an idea of how they feel and how they fold and how heavy they are. Consider a convertible car that can be used by two or more children. This will save you money since you won't need to purchase an entirely new set of wheels every time your child grows.
