Wheels

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

However it is usually due to someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common issue. This type of wheel is typically used on all-terrain buggies as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are foam filled which makes them lighter than rubber tyres. They do not have the same shock absorption capabilities, and can feel harsher on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more commonly found on prams than strollers, and are the cheapest option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a tougher plastic material that is light and has some of the properties of rubber but not as much. It can be used to replace rubber or PU in your pram for its low maintenance and overall weight reduction.

It is essential to have reliable brakes in your stroller. This will ensure the safety of you, your child and other pedestrians. Most pushchairs have brake pedals located at the rear of the chassis and can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or pressing down with your foot. The brakes should be easy to operate and should be locked as soon as you press them. Some pushchairs have brakes on the middle wheel for additional stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the chassis of any pushchair. It is ideal for newborns and babies up to six months of age, as they have to lay flat in order to develop their spine and lung capacity.
