What to Look For in Push Chairs and Prams
The world of prams and push chairs can seem confusing. Prams have a flat seat that is specifically designed to carry infants and babies.
Prams can also come with a bassinet or carrycot for babies. Some even offer the option of being converted into an infant pushchair.
If you're planning to travel by public transport or fold your pushchair frequently, choose a lightweight and compact buggy.
Comfort
Alongside bottles and nappies, your pushchair will be one of the most used baby products you own. As such, it's important to make sure your child is safe on every trip by choosing one that has plenty of padding and an ergonomic seat that can be adjusted for the height of your child.
Many buggies, prams, and pushchairs car seats include a fitted blanket to keep your child warm. They can be easily put in the wash and are available in a variety of colors and designs to fit your personal preferences.
A pram with car seat is suitable for babies up to six months of age, when they are still at the point that they need to lay flat. A carrycot, or bassinet, will be attached to the frame. Many prams allow the choice of 'parent facing or world facing. This enables you to decide if you prefer your baby to be facing you to bond with you, or to explore the sights and sounds of their environment. Some prams can be converted into pushchairs. For instance, the iCandy Peach 7 – a premium single-to-double pushchair which can be used from birth with a carrycot and up to 25kg (15kg with elevators).
The most important thing to be aware of is that infants and toddlers should not be in any pushchair that is not able to recline to a completely flat position. Traveling in a crouching position can impact their breathing as they breathe in more air than normal. This can lead to breathing problems in the long term.
A pushchair is a seat that can be folded into a small space. It's designed for older babies and toddlers. They're usually made of a more durable material than a pram, and you will typically find models that let you switch the direction of the seat so that your baby can face you to provide reassurance, or away from you so they can explore the world around them.
Safety
The safety of your baby in a pram or pushchair is crucial. You should never put your child in a pushchair or pram specifically made for their size and age. This will make them feel safe and secure and help to prevent any accidents. If you're buying a baby pushchair or pram second-hand it's essential to conduct visual safety checks. This will ensure that the item is in good working order and isn't damaged in any way that could pose danger for your child.
When you are choosing a pushchair or pram, look for one with a safety harness which has quick and easy clips and connections. Check that the buckles don't have any looseness and that the straps are snug around your baby's torso. Look for models with a wider base as they are more stable than models with a smaller base.
Be careful not to overload your pushchair or pram with items. This could cause it to tip over and your baby could fall out. Don't put anything that could harm your baby in the basket, such as drinks, snacks, and toys.
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 to dry it outside thoroughly. This will prevent the growth of mould or mildew.
If your pram or pushchair has a removable footmuff, it's a good idea to wash it prior to using it again in winter. It's as simple as removing the fabric and washing it in cool soapy water and allowing it to air dry outside. It is also recommended to scrub off any dirt or mud that has accumulated on the axles and wheels.
Experts advise that babies lay flat in a pushchair or pram as soon as they can. This will help their development and reduce back pain later in life.
Under the General Product Safety Regulations of 2005, both retailers and manufacturers are required to offer products that are safe for normal or reliable use. This applies to new and second hand prams and strollers.
Style
Parents may want the most practical set-up of wheels they can get However, many parents require a stroller that is as fashionable as their infant. There are many high-quality prams and pushchairs available that combine top-quality engineering with stylish designs that are both appealing and practical.
The first thing to think about when choosing a pushchair or pram is the seat padding and adjustable options. Babies can be messy and so having a pushchair that's easy to clean is important. This is true especially in the event that you plan to take your stroller on long walks on rough terrain, or over dirt and gravel. Look for a pushchair with removable seats and recline mechanisms which can be washed in the machine. Check that the fabric can be machine washed to keep your baby dry and comfortable.
Another thing to consider is the direction your baby will be facing in their pushchair. Most 'from-birth' pushchairs let you switch the seat between facing parents (facing the parent to reassure and bond) or even world facing so that your child can explore the world. Some models have this option too however it's not a necessity for all models and may only be an optional extra.
Combination prams are referred to as 3 in one pushchair-in-1 prams. They are popular with families because they can fit bassinet baskets on the same frame. They are designed to be used from birth and are suitable for children as young as six months old.
A travel system is similar to a combination stroller in that it allows you to connect a car seat to the frame, with adaptors. They are an excellent choice for toddlers and infants until three years old and are more affordable than buying separate items.
Twin prams or pushchairs are a ideal choice for twins or siblings of the same age who both require transport in safety and comfort. They are available in a variety of styles and can be fitted with a single or double car seat.
Storage
A pushchair or pram must not only be safe and comfortable for your child, but also provide ample storage space for all of the essentials. Find models with an ample shopping basket that can contain all your baby's supplies, such as spare clothes as well as changing equipment, bottles of water and even snacks. Some also include the child's or parent's compartment, which is ideal for storing all your personal belongings. If you're looking for a stroller that is more spacious and storage space, consider a pushchair that has different configurations. Extra space is important, especially if you plan to take your child on long walks or to be away from home.
Maneuvrability is a further aspect to consider. Choose swivels wheels to navigate through narrow passageways with ease. Also, look for locking brakes with a quick stopping power. If you are looking at a lightweight model, ensure that it has the appropriate suspension system and foldable dimensions for simple storage and transportation. If you're looking to buy something more robust for off-road use, pick a model with robust, all-terrain tires that can handle rougher surfaces.
A pram is designed to provide an easy sleeping position for infants. A pushchair is more suited for older babies and toddlers that can sit independently. Some prams can be converted to a pushchair by taking out the bassinet and replacing it with a seat, and other models like the Bababing Raffi complete bundle are all-in-one prams that can be converted into a car seat or carrycot.
Whatever type of pram or pushchair you choose, be sure to read reviews on the internet and seek recommendations from friends and family. Test-drive several options before settling on one. This will provide you with an idea of their weight, how they fold and how they feel. You may also want to think about whether a convertible model is the right option for you, because they can be used interchangeably between one or two children and save money on purchasing an entirely new set of wheels each time your little one grows older!
