What to Look For in Prams, Pushchairs and Buggys

There are many aspects to take into consideration when selecting the right pushchair, buggy, or pram. Consider the amount you're willing to spend, whether you'd prefer an e-bike that is compact or more spacious and how easy to clean it.

Look for models that feature a reclining seat that can be adjusted to various positions, as well as the option of a carrycot or bassinet to newborns. Check if they lie completely flat as this is essential for your baby's developing spine.

Safety

When you are out and about with your child in a pushchair or pram sets it is important to adhere to safety guidelines to ensure your little one is comfortable and safe. Be sure to check the stroller or pushchair's weight limits to prevent overloaded vehicles as it could cause damage or cause instability. Avoid placing any blankets or pillows in the pram, as this can be dangerous for your baby, especially when there is an accident. Don't let older children climb onto the running pram or stroller as it could pose a risk.

It's also recommended to look for a stroller with additional padding, particularly around the headrest. This can protect your child from crashing into objects when out and out and about.

Many pushchairs and prams can be folded down to a smaller size when they are not being used. This makes them easier to put in the car boot or even transport on public transport. It is important to determine the size of the pushchairs when folded, as this can make a difference when you need to squeeze them in small spaces or climb up and down stairs.

If you intend to take your pram or stroller into more rough terrain, such as parks or fields, or even on the beach, it's ideal to select an option with off-road wheels.

Comfort

A great pram should be comfortable to push for both you and your baby. Softly padded seat liners, adjustable settings that allow your baby to lay flat on their backs or raise their legs slightly to ease reflux, and an expansive sun canopy are all helpful. Find a suspension that allows for a smooth ride and a responsive brake system to stop quickly if needed.

It is also important to consider your needs when choosing a pushchair, like whether it's simple to maneuver and what kind of storage space you require.

Cleaning

It's a good idea to take off any padding or covers before you begin cleaning your pushchair. This will allow you to clean the difficult-to-reach places, such as the canopy or hood.
