You'll Never Guess This Pram Pushchair's Tricks

What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish stroller that is stylish and practical. It is easy to build and can be transformed into double. It also has a large storage basket.

This innovative travel system allows you to "future resistant" by adding an appropriate carrycot and car seat. It folds easily using just one hand and can be freestanding when collapsed.

Seat

It is likely that your baby will use the pram often, so it is important that it is comfortable. Choose a model with a comfortable cushioning for the seat, a handlebar that is adjustable in height, and recline feature to let you get your child asleep. It's also worth ensuring that the pushchair can be placed in either 'parent-facing' (or rear-facing) or "world facing" if your child is older and wants to look around and see what's happening around them.

The Graco Near2Me has a neat feature that allows parents to keep their child close and maintain eye contact. Jaya, our parent tester said this is a wonderful option for newborns and infants.

When selecting a pram you should consider the overall dimensions. You don't want to have to be concerned about it taking up too much space in your car or home. To ensure that it fits it, pick a model that can be folded and folded in a compact manner. Consider how easy to fold and then read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real idea of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre, fold and store.

A quality pram must be able to fold flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby is able to have a comfortable and safe sleep during the first six months, which is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you are thinking about buying can do this, and that it can be used with a car seat if necessary.

Wheels

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

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured using a car tyre compressor to blow them up too hard. However, this is usually caused by someone over inflating the tires and isn't a common problem. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies as well as running buggies.

PU or Polyurethane Wheels are made of foam, making them lighter than rubber tires. They do not have the same shock-absorbing capabilities, and can feel harsher on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are often seen on prams rather than strollers and are usually the cheapest cost option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a harder plastic material that is light and has some characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used in place of PU or rubber for low maintenance and to reduce the weight of your pram.

It is important to have a reliable brake system in your stroller. This will safeguard you your child, as well as other pedestrians. Most pushchairs feature brake pedals that are located on the rear chassis. It can be activated by pressing a lever or button on the handlebars or by pressing down your foot. The brakes must be easy to use and should lock immediately after pressing them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for added stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is an easy-to-use portable cot that is able to be attached to the frame of any pushchair. It's a great choice for infants from six months old, as they require a flat position in order to support their lung and spine development. A carrycot-equipped pram is a great choice for parents who have little space, a small boot or who use public transport frequently.

Some prams have a built-in carrying cot that can be folded into the frame. This lets you quickly change between carriage and seat modes. This is an excellent option for families with a small car boot or frequent public transport. It can help you save time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has a high score with MFM home testers, and also winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's an excellent choice for parents who are on a budget as it's affordable and is luxurious and looks. It's also strong, lightweight stroller, and compact when folded.

This stunning pram includes a lay flat carrycot plus an sling seat made of fabric and an infant cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is safe and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a light, light-steering and smooth rider that's ideal for urban settings which means you can effortlessly negotiate busy roads and pavements while traveling. It's also extremely easy to set up and comes with lots of accessories, including rain cover, footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is perfect to shield your child from the elements while providing a cozy place for them to snooze. It can also prevent heat stroke and sunburns by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models feature a peekaboo or mesh back section that you can detach to keep an eye on the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood is an excellent way to shield your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Certain models come with rain covers that is easily popped over the canopy of the pram and secured using poppers. You can also purchase an umbrella that is attached to the pram using magnets and is easy to remove when not in use.

Your pram or pushchair for many years to come, so picking the most suitable one is a crucial choice. As your baby grows and develops you'll want to ensure that they are safe and comfortable throughout every trip. A quality pushchair or pram double is one that can provide a gentle spine support and prevent them from becoming exhausted on long walks or bumpy rides.

Storage

There are numerous options for storage for prams, depending on your budget and the space available. A shed is a good option if you have the room, as it will protect the pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when not in use. This is an excellent option if your area experiences frequent rain or snow.

A shed is made out of metal or wood and is equipped with a door that permits easy access. It could also come with a lock and other security features. Garages are another popular option as it can provide protection from the elements while being close to your car, if you're using it for transport.

If you do not have a garage, you can put the pram away in the closet of your home. This will keep it away from view, so you don't have to glance at it every time you go into your home or nursery. It may be difficult to reach if are hosting guests.

To keep your pushchair in good condition you'll need to clean it regularly. This will ensure it is clean and free from stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood with an attachment small in size or by rinsing it with cool soapy water. Then, you can use a gentle sterilizing agent or a fabric brush to remove any stain. Be sure to dry the fabric outside to prevent mildew and mould from spreading. You can also purchase an item to clean up the most stubborn stains, making your pushchair look like new.
