What to Look For in a Pram Pushchair

A stylish toddler stroller that is stylish and practical. It's easy to put together and can be converted into a double, and comes with a big storage basket.

A brilliant travel system that allows you to 'future-proof' by adding a compatible car seat and carrycot. Plus it folds neatly with one hand and is able to stand on its own when collapsed.

Seat

It's likely that your baby will use the pram a lot and therefore it's crucial to ensure it's comfortable. Find models with adjustable handlebars, comfortable seat padding and a reclining function so you can put your child to bed. It is also important to ensure that the pushchair can be set to be 'parent facing' (or rear-facing) or 'world facing', in case your child is older and wants to look around and see what's happening around them.

A great feature of the Graco Near2Me is its ability to raise your child up to you by pressing a button, allowing parents to keep contact with their child and keep them close. Jaya one of our testers, a parent, praised this as an excellent option for infants and newborns.

It's important to consider the overall size of a pram before you choose one, as you don't want it to take up too much space in your car trunk or in your living space. Pick a model that is able to be folded up easily and compact pushchair when folded to ensure it can fit. Check how easy it is to do this and read reviews (like those on MadeForMums) for a real impression of how easy or difficult it is to manoeuvre fold, store and store.

A high-quality pram should be able to lay flat when folded. This will ensure that your baby has a fully supported lie down during the first six months, which is vital for their development. Make sure the pram you are thinking about buying can do this, and also that it is compatible with a car seat should it be required.

Wheels

The wheels of a pram pushchair are what allow it to move and what give your child the mobility they require. There are 3 common wheel types: rubber, foam and EVA (harder plastic type). Each has pros and cons based on what you plan to use your pushchair for.

Rubber wheels are the most common and offer excellent grip on all surfaces. They can be punctured by using a car tyre compressor to blow them up too hard. This is not a frequent problem, and is usually caused by over-inflating the wheel. This type of wheel is usually used on all-terrain buggies, as well as buggies that run.

PU or Polyurethane wheels are filled with foam so they are lighter than rubber tyres. They don't have the same shock-absorbing capability and may feel hard on concrete surfaces that are rough. They are more commonly found on prams and strollers than on strollers, and are the cheapest option.

EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate is a stronger plastic material that is light and has some characteristics of rubber but not as much. It can be used in lieu of rubber or PU to keep it in good condition and also to reduce the overall weight of your pram.

It is essential to have reliable brakes in your pushchair. This will protect 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 button or lever on the handlebars, or by pushing down with your foot. The brakes must be simple to operate and should be locked when you press them. Some pushchairs also have a mid-wheel brake for more stability and control.

Carrycot

The carrycot is a lightweight portable cot that connects to the frame of the pushchair [M 1bar noted]. It's ideal for babies and infants from 6 months to 6 years of age, as they have to lay flat in order to develop their spine and lungs. A pram with a carrycot is a fantastic choice for parents who are limited in space, have a small car boot or who use public transport often.

Some prams come with a built-in carrycot that folds away into the frame of the pushchair so it is easy to switch between carriage and seat mode. This is an excellent option for families with a tiny car boot or those who have to travel by public transport often because it saves time and effort. The iCandy YOYO2 is an example of this and has scored highly with MFM home testers, as well as winning Gold in our previous MadeForMums awards. It's also a good choice for parents who are with a tight budget since it's affordable yet has a premium look and feel as well as being strong, light and compact when folded.

If you're in search of a high-end single to double pushchair that is suitable for babies from birth and is used with a carrycot or a baby cocoon, the Mountain Buggy Twin Plus is the perfect choice. This stunning pushchair comes with a lay-flat carrycot, a fabric sling seat and a baby cocoon to create the most comfortable sleeping environment that is safe and comfortable for your twins.

It's also a smooth light-steering, nippy rider, which is ideal for urban environments. It's easy to traverse busy roads and pavements when you're on the move. It's also incredibly easy and comes with a wide range of accessories, including rain covers, a footmuff and hood.

Canopy

A pram canopy is perfect to protect your baby from the elements and providing an inviting place to relax. It can also help prevent sunburns and heat stroke by blocking the harsh rays of the sun. Some models have an open or mesh back section that you can unzip to monitor the little snoozer.

In winter, a hood can be a great way to protect your baby's delicate skin from wind and rain. Some models come with a rain cover which can be easily popped over the pram's canopy and secured with poppers. You can also buy an umbrella that is attached with magnets to the pram, and is easy to fold away when not in usage.

Whether you opt for a pram or pushchair, choosing the most suitable model is a crucial choice that you will use frequently for many years to come. As your baby grows, you'll want to ensure they are comfortable and safe on every journey. A good quality pram/pushchair should be able to support their gentle spine and stop them from becoming exhausted when they take long walks or bumpy rides.

It's worth noting that pushchairs tend to be more targeted towards babies and infants in that they usually come with a bassinet, or carrycot to enable you to lay them flat, whereas pushchairs tend to be more flexible and can convert to an infant seat as your child gets older.

Stores

There are a variety of options for storage for prams based on your budget and the space you have available. A shed is an excellent choice if you have the room, as it will shield your pram from weather damage and keep it away from the path when not in use. This is a great option in areas that experience often snow or rain.

A shed is constructed from wood or metal and comes with doors that allow for easy access. It could also be equipped with locks or other security features. A garage is another popular option, since it will provide protection from the elements while remaining close to your vehicle if you're using it for transport.

If you don't have garage space, you could keep the pram in your home's closet. It will be hidden and won't be visible when you enter the home or nursery. However, it might be difficult to access if have guests coming over.

To maintain your pushchair it's best to clean it frequently. This will ensure it looks fantastic and is free of stains and mildew. Start by vacuuming the hood using an attachment small in size, or rinsing in cool soapy water. Next, you can work on any stains with a fabric brush or a gentle solution for sterilising. It is essential to dry the fabric thoroughly outside to prevent mould and mildew from spreading. You can also buy cleaning products that will remove stubborn stains and leave your pushchair looking like new again.
