What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams

The world of prams and pushchairs can seem confusing. Prams are designed to transport infants and babies. They come with a lie-flat seating.

Prams are also available with a carrycot or bassinet for newborns. Some can be converted into an infant pushchair once the baby is older.

If you're planning to use public transport or fold your pushchair regularly opt for a lightweight stroller and compact pushchair.

Comfort

Alongside bottles and nappies, your pushchair is likely be among the most frequently used baby items you own. As such, it's important to ensure your child is safe on every outing by choosing a model with plenty of padding as well as an ergonomic seat that can be adjusted to height.

Many buggies, prams and pushchairs have a blanket to keep your child warm. These can be easily popped into the washing machine and are available in a variety of designs and colours to fit your personal preference.

A pram is made for babies who are approximately six months old when they're still at a stage that they must lie flat, typically with a carrycot or bassinet attached to the frame. The majority of prams have the option of either 'parent' facing or world facing. This enables you to choose whether you want your baby to face you to bond with you, or to explore the sights and sounds in their environment. Some prams can be converted to pushchairs, like the iCandy Peach 7 - a premium single-to-double pushchair that can be used from birth (with carrycot) and up to 25kg (15kg on elevators).

It is important to remember that babies under six months old should not be carried in a stroller that doesn't fully recline. This is because being in a position that is prone to slumber could affect their breathing because it causes them to inhale more air than normal and could lead to respiratory problems in the longer time.

A pushchair is a seat on wheels that folds, usually to a very compact size, and is generally designed towards toddlers and older babies that are around three years old. They're usually made of a more durable material than a pram and you can typically find models that let you change the direction of the seat so that your child can face you to feel safe or away from you so that they can explore the world around them.

Safety

It is important to ensure that your child is secure in a pushchair or pram. Always place your baby in a pram or pram that is designed for his age and size. This will make them feel secure and safe, and prevent accidents. If you're buying a baby pushchair or pram second-hand, it's important to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure it is in good condition and is not damaged in a way that could be harmful to your baby.

When choosing the right pram or pushchair make sure you choose one with a safety harness that is quick and easy clips. Make sure the buckles are not loose and that the straps are snugly around the waist of your child. Find models with a wider base as they will be more stable than those with a smaller base.

Beware of overloading your pushchair and pram with items. This can cause the pushchair to topple over and your baby may fall out. Similarly, don't put anything in the storage basket that could fall out and harm your baby - this includes toys, drinks and snacks.

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 you dry it outside thoroughly. This will stop mould or mildew from forming.

It's a great idea clean the removable footmuff that comes with your pushchair or pram prior to when you return to it in winter. This can be accomplished by removing the fabric, washing it in cold water with soap and letting it air dry outside. It is also recommended to scrub off any dirt or mud off the wheels and axles.

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

Retailers and manufacturers are required to fulfill a duty under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005 to offer products that are safe for the normal or reasonably anticipated use. This applies to both new and second hand prams and strollers.

Style

While some parents are looking for the most functional set of wheels that they can get their hands on most parents would prefer a pram or pushchair that is as stylish as their brand new baby. There are numerous high-end prams and pushchairs prams that combine top-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both appealing and practical.

When selecting a pushchair or pram, the first thing you should consider is the seat padding. Babies can be messy creatures and so having a pushchair that's easy to clean is crucial. This is particularly true if you intend to take your stroller on long walks on rough terrain, or on dirt and gravel. Find a pushchair that has removable seat covers and recline mechanisms that can be washed by machine. Be sure that the fabric is also breathable, which will help keep your baby dry and comfortable.

You should also think about the direction your baby will face in their pushchair. Most pushchairs "from birth" allow you to change the seat to face towards parents (facing towards the parent for reassurance and bonding) or world facing so they can discover the world around them. Some prams have this option too but it's not necessary for all models and may be an optional feature.

Combination prams are also known as 3-in-1 prams. They are popular with families due to the fact that they can fit a bassinet basket on the same frame. They are designed to be used right from birth and are suitable for infants up to six-months old.

A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it permits the attachment of car seat pram seats to the frame, using adaptors. These are great for babies and toddlers from birth to three years old and can be less expensive than buying separate items.

Stores

In addition to providing safety and comfort to your baby, a pram or pushchair needs to offer plenty of storage space for all the necessities. Look for models that have an ample shopping basket that can accommodate all your baby supplies including spare clothes and changing equipment bottles of water, and snacks. Some models also have a parent or child's compartment, which is ideal for storing all your personal items. If you're looking for a pushchair with more storage and storage space, consider a pushchair that has different configurations. It's important to have extra space especially if you want to take your child on long walks or leave home.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is maneuverability. Select swivel wheels to get around narrow spaces easily. Also look for locking brakes with a quick stopping power. If you're looking at a lighter model, make sure it has the right dimensions for folding and suspension to allow for easy storage and transport. Alternatively, if you want something more sturdy for off-road travel, choose one with sturdy all-terrain wheels that are able to handle rougher terrains better than pavements.

The primary difference between a pram versus a pushchair is that a pram offers an easy, flat sleeping position for infants, while the pushchair is better designed for older children and toddlers who are able to sit up on their own. Some prams convert into pushchairs, by removing the bassinet and replacing it with an adult seat. Other models such as the Bababing Raffi Complete bundle can transform into a carrycot or car seat.

If you're unsure of the type of pushchair or pram to pick check out online reviews and ask your friends and family members for recommendations. Test-drive several options before you make your decision. This will give you an idea of their weight, their folding capabilities and how they feel. Consider a convertible car, which can be used for one or two kids. This will save you money as you don't have to buy an entirely new set of wheels each time your child grows.
